Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Man Standing at the Front Door

Translator: 549690339

Emily Walker’s life seemed too miserable; first, she lost her father, then she was kicked out of the house by her stepmother, and she was badly treated by her indifferent aunt. Now she is homeless, and her little brother still lies in the hospital.

Thinking of Emily’s devastating fate, Gabriella Teddy genuinely hoped that she could meet a ‘benefactor’ and then fight back against those villains with narrow-minded eyes!

Baron Stuart didn’t speak any further, but turned around and left the milk tea shop.

The blue sports car drove to the entrance of Green Haven Estate, the residential area located behind the city centre. The old residential buildings were obscured by the new-style buildings, making it impossible to see their true appearance from a distance.

Looking at a somewhat dimly lit narrow alley, above the entrance of the alley was a sign that read, [Green Haven Estate.]

Baron Stuart opened the car door and frowned slightly at the dim alleyway.

He was somewhat skeptical whether that woman really lived inside. There were so many houses, yet she insisted on choosing such a shabby place.

Walking gracefully and leisurely, Baron Stuart slowly entered the narrow alley.

At 7:30 PM, the night was gradually getting darker. Although the city district was brightly lit, this narrow alley was pitch-black, giving a gloomy feeling. However, the light on both ends brought a faint glimmer of hope to the dark alley, enough to see the road and avoid falling.

It didn’t take long before Baron Stuart saw the worn-out residential area after walking a few dozen meters down the alley.

Perhaps because the houses here were relatively cheaper, although the buildings were old, many people still lived here. Of course, those who chose to live in such a place were probably migrant workers from the countryside.

Entering the residential area, Baron Stuart found Building C, Room 501, only to discover that 501 was not a formal room at all, but an attic on the top floor.

Even he had to stoop down to enter the door.

And most importantly, there was no elevator on the fifth level!

Looking at the closed wooden door, Baron Stuart’s brows grew even tighter.

Was this woman really living here? Or did he remember the address wrong?

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, thinking he had gotten the wrong address, a small wooden door was opened, and Emily walked out.

Upon looking up, she immediately saw a tall figure in the bright moonlight. She recognized the handsome face that was so attractive it was almost criminal.

“How could you be here?” His appearance truly surprised her, but soon, she seemed to think of something, “About the rent, I don’t have it now, I’ll have to wait until my salary is paid this month, and I’ll give you one-third of the money first.”

With this approach, as long as she tightened her budget, she would be able to pay off the 8888 rent in three times!

But wouldn’t this man be a little too petty? Just for the rent, did he have to chase her so aggressively? She just moved into the ‘new house’, and he already knew about it!

“You live here?” Baron Stuart ignored her words and looked at the house behind her with a furrowed brow.

Emily’s expression was a bit stupefied, and she looked back at the house following his line of sight before turning back and nodding, “Well, didn’t you know I lived here when you came looking for me?”

Really, he had already come looking, and he was still asking her if she lived here. Was he afraid that she wouldn’t pay him back the rent?

At this thought, Emily’s affection for this man dropped to -1 point!
