Ronan had just returned to the rented apartment. Before he even entered the room, the door next door suddenly opened.
Little Black jumped out and rubbed his head against his calf affectionately.
Ronan leaned over and picked her up, then waved to Janice standing at the door. "Good evening, Miss Janice."
The little girl smiled sweetly, "Mr. Ronan, my mother has prepared dinner. Come in quickly."
"Okay."
Ronan handed Little Black to Janice, washed his face first at his own home, then put on a set of casual home clothes, and finally went to Janice to enjoy today's dinner.
The apartment where Dolores mother and daughter live is smaller than that of Ronan. There is only one single room in it, but the living room that doubles as a dining room can accommodate three or five people without any problem.
When Ronan came in, the old oak dining table was already covered with steaks, fried eggs, vegetable salads and fried fish pieces, as well as bread as the staple food.
The light was on in the room, and Dolores was wearing an apron under the light, with a faint blush on her pretty face, making her look particularly charming.
Janice is sitting in his seat, and Little Black is squatting next to him.
Ronan has seen this scene many times.
Every time, it brought him a warm feeling of peace and joy. He felt like a migrant worker who left early and came home late. When he returned home, his wife and daughter were already waiting to have dinner with him.
Ronan sat down, Dolores scooped up a bowl of corn soup for him, and said a little shyly, "Today's fish is very fresh, you can try it if it tastes good."
Ronan took a piece of fried fish and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, nodded and said, "Not bad."
Dolores's cooking skills are quite good. After tasting her cooking a few months ago, Ronan came up with the idea of setting up a meal together, and then every day's dinner was settled.
Dolores, who received praise, has curved eyebrows and shallow dimples on her fair and jade cheeks, looking very happy.
At this time, she didn't look like a mother of a five-year-old child, but more like an innocent girl.
This dinner was as delicious and warm as ever.
Ronan had just finished eating and was about to go home when there was a knock on the door.
Janice immediately ran to open the door. "Who is it?"
Standing at the door was the manager of the apartment.
"Good evening, Miss Janice, Ms. Dolores."
The uncle was still very polite, but when he saw Ronan sitting at the dining table, he couldn't help but froze, and quickly said hello, "Lord Ronan, I didn't expect you to be here too."
The apartment manager felt a little surprised, but not too surprised.
After all, Ronan and Dolores are neighbors, and they are a young and strong young man and a beautiful and charming lady. Is it strange that the two of them have dinner together?
Not at all!
Ronan smiled and did not answer.
And Dolores's eyes flashed with shame, he stood up and asked, "Uncle Joan, what can I do for you?"
The apartment manager coughed twice and explained, "Ms. Dolores, I am here to inform you that your lease is about to expire. If you need to renew the lease, the rent will be increased by two pounds per month."
"Huh?"
Dolores was shocked and asked anxiously, "Why has it risen so much?"
This apartment was already very expensive. In order to pay the high rent, she had to work two or three jobs a day to barely support herself and her daughter.
Now the rent has to be increased by two pounds, which is undoubtedly beyond her ability to afford!
"No way."
The apartment manager shrugged helplessly. "I am also following the boss's order. If you don't want to renew the lease, please tell me in advance, but no later than the end of this month."
"Wish you a happy life."
He saluted Dolores and Ronan respectively, then turned and left.
Dolores's eye circles were red, and after closing the door, he looked at a loss.
Janice hugged her legs and whispered, "Mom."
The little girl could feel her mother's sadness and sorrow, and could only comfort her in this way.
Dolores's eyes were filled with tears, but he still forced a smile, "It's okay."
At this moment, she felt very desperate.
Although they moved away from here and could rent a cheap house in places like Old Port District, the environment there was too bad for the mother and daughter.
Dolores is no longer the aristocratic lady who is ignorant of the world. She is very aware of the evil hidden in this world.
"Janice, can you and Little Black go to the room and play?"
Ronan suddenly said, "I have something to tell your mother."
"Yeah."
Janice nodded obediently, and then took Little Black to the only bedroom.
She is also smart about the Upper Sect.
Dolores wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said apologetically to Ronan: "Mr. Ronan, I'm really sorry."
"Nothing to be embarrassed about."
Ronan shook his head and said, "Ms. Dolores, I have a suggestion. Do you think it will work?"
Ronan's suggestion is that he will pay the rent for this apartment in the future.
In return, Dolores needs to make breakfast and dinner for him, as well as clean and do laundry in Ronan's room.
It is equivalent to outsourcing all housework to Dolores.
This rent is nothing to Ronan. It can not only help Dolores solve problems, but also make his own life comfortable. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes.
In fact, he had had such an idea for a long time, but he had not been able to put it forward rashly before.
Now is the right time.
"This way you don't have to work too hard. It's enough to have a job during the day."
Ronan finally said, "You can come back early in the evening to accompany Janice."
After listening to Ronan's suggestion, Dolores opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but crystal tears overflowed from his eyes.
"Sorry."
She quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and showed a cheerful smile, "Thank you, Mr. Ronan, I am very willing to work for you, you are a good person."
The beautiful lady pursed her lips and said, "Actually, you don't need to help me pay the rent. If it's convenient, I can move to your home with Janice."
This can save a lot of money on rent.
Of course, if she hadn't gotten to know Ronan's character quite well over the past few months, she would never have made such a suggestion.
Dolores knows very well what kind of temptation her own beauty has on a young man!
But she was willing to take the risk.
Ronan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, in this case, I hope you can find a simple and easy job, and I will pay you another salary."
"Please don't say no."
Although sharing a house is not as convenient as being alone, who would refuse to live with a beautiful lady?
Neither does Ronan.
