Chapter 148: Seeing Off

Clang, clang, clang—

Early the next morning, Ronald arrived on time and gently knocked on the door upstairs.

The door to the third-floor apartment was wide open, revealing the interior for all to see.

Ronald's knock was merely a polite gesture, meant to signal his arrival to the two people inside.

"..."

"Ah, is that you, Ronald?"

At the sound of the knock, Patricia, who already resided there, immediately turned and smiled at him.

Not far in front of the girl, Mrs. Hudson, the landlady of the apartment, stood. She looked no different that morning and nodded slightly to Ronald at the door.

Then, the two inside continued with what they were doing before.

Patricia didn't treat Ronald like an outsider.

After greeting him, she placed her right hand to her chest and slightly bowed to Mrs. Hudson, saying,

"Mrs. Hudson, I really appreciate your hospitality during this time."
