Chapter 217

The station needed time to investigate and collect evidence, so they sent Leanna and Louis home, promising to notify them immediately upon any news.

It was already dark out when they left the police station.

“Louis, do you still plan to stay at the school after the holidays?” Leanna asked.

Louis did not answer immediately. After some thought, he responded, “I’ll crash at your studio from tomorrow onward.”

“Huh?” She was taken aback by his answer for a moment before returning to her senses. He must be worried about me because of what has happened recently. “It’s fine. No one comes to look for trouble anymore. I’m worried for you. How about I rent you a place outside during the holidays?”

“There’s no need. I can rent it myself.”

Hearing this, she laughed and said, “Isn’t it the same thing?”

Louis stretched his neck as he replied, “I can make my own money now.”

Smiling, she did not pester him about the topic any further. Instead, she merely asked, “Where are you going to rent? I’ll come with you to check out the place tomorrow morning.”

“It’s okay. I’ve seen it already.”

Two hours later, Daniel opened the door and looked at the two people standing outside with surprise. “What are you doing here?”

Leanna rubbed her nose and replied, “Sorry for bothering you, but my brother here is on winter vacation and is currently looking for a place to rent. I just wanna ask if you have a spare room here.”

“About that…”

“I’ll pay the rent,” Louis immediately piped up.

“That’s not the case, kid. It’s not about the rent.” Daniel thought for a long time to cook up an excuse. “I grew up abroad, and some of my personal habits and tastes may differ from yours. I’m afraid it’ll make you feel uncomfortable, so it’s best if—”
