True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1473

No matter how shameless Adrian was, he was still flustered by Leah's question. He looked at Ernest for help.

Ernest still smiled as if he was a spectator watching from the sidelines, completely uninvolved.

"Leah, I refuse to answer your question," Adrian said in a low voice.

"Pfft." Leah shrugged. "Sure, it's your freedom to do so. You have the right to not answer."

"Is she really a girl?" Adrian looked at Ernest and asked like he couldn't believe what was happening.

Ernest put on his usual smile and let out a cough to change the subject. "The food's here, aren't you guys hungry? Let's eat."

It was just then that the waiter began serving their meals.

Leah was bewitched by the aroma of the food, and in an instant her attention all but shifted to the food in front of her.

"Wow, it looks delicious. Quick, let's eat, my fellow brethren." Leah was a step ahead of them, already picked up the cutleries, and began taking her first bite.

When the pork chops were served, she had already gobbled up a lot of appetizers, and yet she was still able to continue feasting on the tender and juicy pork chops.

The sight of her indulging herself while biting onto the fragrant meat had the power to make others hungry as well.

As Adrian looked at Leah, it seemed like Leah was really enjoying all the dishes.

After finishing lunch, it was halfway through noon. The three of them sat idly and were ready to go back to the hotel.

In the evening, Ernest and Leah dropped Adrian back at his hotel. Coincidentally, Adrian's driver had also arrived with a car full of items, and Adrian began unloading them into Ernest's car.

"These are some local snacks I bought for you. Take it and share it amongst yourselves. As for me, my driver's bringing me back to my hometown tonight. Thanks for hanging out with me today."

"Are you leaving so soon?" Ernest was a little surprised. "Is it because Maria isn't accompanying you?" "Sort of." He smiled and said, "Looks like I came at the wrong time." "We can hang out with you," Leah said. "You can stay for two more days."

"No." Adrian quickly shook his head. "I'm scared of you, Leah."

"All because I asked you a private question?" Leah thought back to when they were at the restaurant. Adrian had yet to give her an answer.

"Stop bringing it up." Adrian raised his hands in surrender. "I'm going back for real. I don't know when we'll be able to see each other again after saying goodbye, but if fate allows it, we'll meet again in the future."

"That's that, then." Leah was rather forthright.

"Let's meet again if we have the chance."

Adrian smiled and said, "I'm leaving tonight, no need to inform Maria. She's busy being in her honeymoon period now."

"Understood." Ernest shook hands with him. "See you in England."

"See you."

Adrian left that exact night.

Ernest then drove Leah back with his car full of snacks. When they were downstairs, Ernest said, "There are three full bags of snacks in the trunk. Maria's bag has hers and Liam's name written on it. The other two bags are for you and me, but I'm not so fond of snacks, so you can have my share." "Are you giving it to me?" Leah was a little surprised. "I think you should bring it back. Who knows if you might like it?"

"Don't you want it?" Ernest looked at her with a smile.

Leah looked back at the pile of snacks and pondered for a moment. "Do you really not want it?"

"Like I said, I'm not fond of snacks," he said frankly.

"Okay then, but I might have to ask for your help bringing these to my place." Leah beamed as if she had won a good bargain. "You have to help me out, as I wouldn't be able to carry everything by myself."

"Roger that." Ernest replied without hesitation. He sent Leah back to her residence in an apartment building, and pulled up below the building. Ernest was quite surprised. "Do you not live in the school dorms?"

"Nope." Leah shook her head with a smile. "I live in the teacher's apartment building. It's quiet here, and it's great for my craft."

The teacher's apartment building had old-fashioned stairs. It looked like many teachers

didn't like living in the areas of the old campus and moved to newer residences.

Leah rented a two-bedroom apartment, and she lived alone.

There were heaps of snacks, and it took them three rounds to carry everything up.

"Take a seat and rest for a bit." Leah went to wash her hands and gave Ernest a bottle of mineral water.

As Ernest sat down on the sofa, he admired the tidiness of Leah's residence. The sofa in the living room was made of cotton fabric. Inside the room was spotless, and two room doors were left open. Gazing from the living room, he could see one room being the bedroom, and the other being the study.

"Thank you." Ernest smiled. He unscrewed the bottle cap and took two sips. "Do you live on your own?"

"Yeah." Leah nodded. "It does get a little lonely, but I don't like being disturbed when I'm working on my crafts. There are too many people with different schedules living in the school dorms. I also have to write my books whilst taking classes for credits, so I just moved out. It worked out in the end as neither myself nor others were affected."

He indeed agreed that it was a pretty sound plan.
