Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199

“From now on, whenever I’m free, I’ll come by–so long as you don’t find me annoying,” Leonard said earnestly.

He’d been worrying about how to find an excuse to come around more often.

He hadn’t expected Megan to hand him the perfect opening so easily, laying down the path for him to just walk right in.

“Annoying? How could I? Free labor is never unwelcome.” Megan patted his shoulder. “Work hard, and once things settle down, Aurora and I will treat you to dinner.”

“No need for dinner. But it’s true–we haven’t gotten together in ages.”

Leonard rubbed the back of his neck, a little awkward. “You’ve both just been buried with this studio project.”

Leonard ran his tongue over dry lips, at a loss for words. He hadn’t expected Megan to be so blunt, asking him straight out.

“But I…” He started to explain, only to be cut off.

“Forget it. You don’t need to explain a thing–it doesn’t matter.”

Megan pointed at the line of potted plants. “What matters right now is you finishing the job. Stop wasting time with this nonsense. I honestly don’t care that much.”

With that, she turned and walked toward the plants without another word. There was no more time to

waste.

She had already wasted too much time fussing over the flowers and plants.

The project was moving too slowly, and they were supposed to start renovations at the beginning of next month. That left barely two weeks, and the schedule was tight.
