Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 370

Leanna barged into a few cardrooms and underground casinos in a row to search for Louis, but to no avail. Instead, she attracted unwanted attention from the people hanging out in the casino, who grew unamused at her behavior.

Noticing that she was there without a companion, they threw banters and teases at her.

“Hey gorgeous, why are you hanging out by yourself? Are you interested in gambling?”

“Why don’t you save a little time and settle in? Are you trying to make comparisons?”

“Pretty lady, there’s a difference between a casino and a man, y’know? You need to follow different rules in different casinos, but you can choose whichever man catches your attention. We promise that you won’t be disappointed.”

The men exchanged glances during the conversation and shared a knowing smile that had a deeper meaning than it showed.

At that moment, one of them mustered his courage and approached her. “How about starting with me? Hehe, I promise you won’t regret it.”

Before he could finish his words, someone grabbed his hair from behind and slammed his head violently against the wall.

A swear word escaped the man as he turned around, attempting to fight back his assailant. When he recognized the person in front of him, he involuntarily took a step back. “R-Ron? What brings you here?”

With an expressionless face, Ron stared at them. “Since when do I need to report my whereabouts to you?”

The onlooking men around changed their attitude within a split second of his arrival. Smiling obsequiously at him, the first man replied, “That’s not what I mean. We’re merely concerned about your well-being. It’s been a while since we last saw you. How are you doing lately?”

Ron let the man’s pleasantries slip and cut to the chase. “Have you noticed a man in his late teens around here?”

“There’s no such a person. I swear. There aren’t any new faces inside the casino the whole day other than the pretty lady over there.”

The others joined the conversation to support his stance. “He’s telling the truth, Ron. As you know, the people hanging around are regulars and we know their faces. It’s hard to forget if a new face showed up here.”

At that, Ron turned to Leanna and stated, “It seems like he has never been here.”
