Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 

I received Derick’s call as soon as I sent my message. 

“Why’s that? Is he trying to bang you?” Derick was straightforward. 

I burst into laughter. “I’d actually like that, but I haven’t even met the guy. How could I do that?” 

“You haven’t even met him? So you’re asking out of curiosity? Girl, are you saying that I have too much free time on my hands?” Derick sounded surprised. 

Derick must be busy since he had just posted about participating in a billiards challenge. 

I felt that I must have been a little too reckless. “Forget it if you’re too busy. I was just curious. It isn’t that important anyway.” 

“Girl, are you trying to make me feel guilty?” Derick raised his voice in anger, but it was just a put–on. 

I laughed. “No, really, I was just curious. If you have time, check it out. But if not, it’s fine:” 

“I always have time for you, not for others. I’ll search it up.” Derick agreed. 

He didn’t hang up the phone immediately after, I knew he had more to say, probably about Chris announcement. 

I quietly waited. He was silent for a while before finally saying, “Forget it, it’s nothing. Call me anytime. 

I breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been awkward no matter what he would have said. It was better, 

this way. 

“Okay.” 

The thought of his challenge crossed my mind. I asked, “Derick, when is the challenge? Give me a ticket, and I’ll come to cheer you on.” 

“Haha, sure!” Derick agreed very readily. 

I drove home after hanging up. I hadn’t slept well due to frequent dreaming all night, and I wanted to catch up on sleep. Upon arriving at the neighborhood, I saw a crowd gathered at the entrance. 

I walked over after finding a parking spot and saw an announcement posted at the entrance. 

Demolition! 

Seeing that word made my heart sink. 

Although I had a premonition that this place wouldn’t last long, seeing it confirmed was still hard to accept. 

To others, a demolition might be a surprise and a chance to earn a fortune overnight. But to me, it was a destruction that would crush my happiest and warmest memories. 

“Everything has to be moved out within two months. Those who move out early get a 10 thousand dollars bonus.” 

“I’ve been wanting to leave this place for a long time. It’s finally happening” 

“I just signed a one–year lease with a tenant. Now that I have to ask them to move, I probably have to compensate them.
