Chapter 399

The fragrance of food wafted through the house.

Hearing footsteps at the door, Naomi came out. "Leanna, Aidan, take a seat. Food will be ready in a minute."

Leanna then volunteered, "Let me help you, Ms. Fletcher." Saying that, she took off her coat and handed it to Aidan before entering the kitchen.

Aidan took it and raised his eyebrows.

Naomi said, "It's fine. I'll be done soon."

"You should've been asleep by this hour, but we still came to bother you."

"It's no big deal. I live here alone, and it gets lonely sometimes. I'm really glad that you guys came to visit me!"

"You actually… live alone here?"

Naomi seemed not to notice anything and replied, "Yes. What's wrong?"

Leanna smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. I just recalled that Ms. Shaffer mentioned that she was going to stay with you, so I thought you two…"

"Oh, Ms. Shaffer." Naomi grabbed the cutleries while uttering, "You know how restless she is. It's too quiet here, so after staying for a while, she went on a trip with her friends. She's now having so much fun."

Hearing that, Leanna did not prod further. Sure enough, she was just overthinking.

After eating, Naomi spoke, "It's getting late now. I've already tidied the room. You should head up and rest."

Leanna had already slept on the way here, so she wasn't drowsy at all. She decided to volunteer to clear the table. "Ms. Fletcher, go to bed. I'll clean up."

"Sure." After saying that, Naomi went back to her room.

Once Leanna cleared the table and was about to wash it in the basin, someone snatched the plates away.

"Go and rest. I'll do it," said Aidan.

Leanna couldn't bear to dispel his enthusiasm, but she also started feeling bad for the dishes.

After leaving the kitchen and sitting on the couch for less than five minutes, she heard the sound of plates breaking.
