Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 290

The middle-aged man's expression turned slightly as soon as he heard her question. Then, he took the pen in his hand to scribble something, but he did not end up writing a single thing.

Just as Leanna was about to give up and leave, a cold male voice suddenly rang out from behind. "How did you manage to get here?"

She turned around and saw Ron standing behind her. There appeared to be a scar left behind from the accident and it snaked down from the left side of his face down to his chin. It made him look much more sinister than before.

Leanna stated, "Let's talk somewhere else."

They had just walked out of the alley when four to five kids ran over in a group with one of the kids bumping into Leanna, which prompted him to stop in his tracks immediately.

The boy stood by the side and rubbed both hands together as he fidgeted. He noticed the stain on her clothes from where he had bumped her and became anxious all of a sudden. "I-I'm really sorry…"

She smiled and patted him on the head gently. "It's alright. Run along and join your friends."

The boy looked at Leanna with trepidation before turning to look at Ron. As soon as the boy noticed the nod from the man, he smiled once again and scrambled off to join his friends.

Ron retracted his gaze and said, "This place is dirty and messy. Aren't you afraid to come here all by yourself?"

Leanna replied calmly, "Well, I think humans are what I should be afraid of."

Ron remained silent and no longer uttered another word.

They walked out of the alley and stood in front of a grassy patch as Ron asked, "Why did you come over to see me?"

Be it Jethro's debt or the incident with Queenie, both matters were a thing of the past, so there was no reason for Leanna to come all the way here to seek him for those two matters.

Leanna looked at him. "I would like to know where Jethro is and I reckon you should be able to locate him."

"Jethro?" Ron frowned. "He died ages ago, didn't he?"

Leanna smiled. "Yes, but perhaps not… He's back."

Ron did not pursue the topic any further as he was able to roughly figure out what Jethro would do upon his return.

Frankly, it was definitely a cause of disgust to be blood-related to him.
