A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 188

She would rather live elsewhere than stay in Valentine Mansion, where she was not welcomed. Living outside was more carefree as well.

As luck would have it, Summer came across a rental a d while she was walking. The house was perfect for her as well.

She went to the address on the ad and met the landlord, who later showed her to her room.

The room was very small. Both the living room and the bedroom were all small in size. But it was more than enough for one tenant alone.

The place was clean and tidy. It was also close to the school. It only took ten something minutes to get there on foot, so it was really convenient for Summer.

The only downside was the location of the apartment. I t was in a dark alley with no streetlights whatsoever. The road leading to the apartment was quite long as well.

She was a little worried about her safety, especially when she worked overtime and went home late at night. The dark alley seemed dangerous, so she was contemplating whether she should stay at such a place.

The landlord noticed her hesitation and smiled cheekily, "The streetlights down the alley had some issues recently, so I went to call maintenance. They should be fixing it in no time. Additionally, I'll throw i n a surprise $500 discount for your monthly rent.

What do you say?”

"When would the streetlights be fixed?" asked Summer, as this was her only concern.

"I've already called this afternoon, so they’ll probably b e here tomorrow afternoon," the landlord's eyes twinkled.

Summer nodded as she paid the rental along with a few months' worths of deposit. The room was hers now. There was a supermarket near her new apartment as well. She headed there to get some sofa covers, table cloth, air freshener, and bedsheets. She started cleaning her room as soon as she got back.

Once she was done with everything, she made herself some pumpkin soup and two simple vegetable side dishes.
