Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 49

 

Chapter 49 It Was Approved

“Please let me in. I’m exhausted.”

With that, I squeezed through the door and collapsed onto the couch, drained by all that had happened.

Not only was I sleep-deprived, but I was also worn out and drained of energy after a long walk with my suitcase.

“Shannon, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?” I asked.

The woman stared blankly at me and responded, after thinking for a while, “Do you want spaghetti?”

 

“Sure, please add some veggies, egg, and ham,” I replied without hesitation.

Shannon acted quickly. After ten minutes, she came out of the kitchen with a plate of delicious spaghetti and placed it opposite me on the other side of the table.

 

Shannon gripped the plate tightly when I stretched out a weary arm to grab it, causing me to frown.

“Liliana, look at the time! Do you know how late it is? Don’t you think you should give me an explanation first?”

Right away, I glanced at her phone and realized it was half-past three in the morning. My upper lip curled slightly in a faint scowl. “When I was asleep just now, a mad dog suddenly rushed in and bit me. I was scared to death, so I came over to look for you.”

“Mad dog? Hello, you live in a bungalow! Even if you were scared, what’s all this with you? Are you going to stay here?”

Shannon pointed at my suitcase and bag, looking puzzled.

“Please let me have the spaghetti first. I’ll explain things to you slowly once I eat.”

I could not help but groan inwardly. Oh gosh… Stop questioning me! I’m starving! What kind of friend is she?

With that, Shannon shot me a disgruntled glance before pushing the plate toward me.

I cleaned my plate within seconds.

“My goodness, you look famished instead of scared! Now, you still haven’t answered my question. Spill.”
