Chapter 30 What Do You Think of Me?

The more Bella thought about it, the more convinced she became. It seemed her landlord, Leonard, wasn't someone to be trifled with. If she wanted to live peacefully under his roof, she definitely couldn't afford to offend him. It was as if Leonard could smell the food. Just as Bella finished cooking, he arrived home. He was as laid-back as ever, wearing a tank top despite it only being spring, his well-defined but not overly muscular physique on display. After sharing a meal together the previous night, Leonard took the initiative to grab a bowl and cutlery to join Bella for dinner. Bella bit the end of her fork and pretended to ask casually, "Do you have a girlfriend?" Leonard scoffed, dismissing the idea. "Why would I want that? It's just a burden." Bella hadn't expected that response and was momentarily speechless. She was worried about the potential risks of living under the same roof as a single man, especially since she had only just met him and didn't know much about him.
