Chapter 527

Aidan grunted, "Yeah, I did."

Leanna didn't say anything further. Seeing the gloomy look on his face, she figured something bad must have happened. She patted his back, comforting him silently. A long while later, she whispered, "Let's go. I'll make something for you. What would you like to eat?"

He cheekily asked, "You'd make anything?"

I knew I shouldn't have comforted him. She pulled her hand back. "Time to go."

They got into the car, and Aidan looked at her. "I don't feel like going home."

Leanna started the engine and drove the car. "So, where would you like to go?"

"Where would you like to go?"

"Home. I want to sleep," she answered seriously.

"Well, that can be arranged."

I don't like where this is going. She didn't bother to entertain him further.

A few moments later, he entered an address into the GPS. "I'd like to go to this place."

She glanced at the screen and said, "Sure."

The place they were heading was in the old area. Highside was a big place. Even though Leanna had been around for a long time, she couldn't recall ever setting foot in this area. It took her an hour just to get to the place Aidan had told her.

Eventually, she stopped the car and got out. Everywhere she looked, only dilapidated houses and broken walls stood. This was a desolate place abandoned by its people a long time ago. As if sealed by time, the city had forgotten of this place.
