My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 496

Derek had bad days in the past few days.

He was not good at housework, but yesterday he messed up his room because of fighting with the black cat, which made the whole apartment into a garbage dump.

Early in the morning, a retired lady from the neighborhood knocked on the door of his house angrily.

"I hate those young people who are not self-disciplined. They spent all their money on eating, drinking, and buying luxuries. As for utilities bills, however, they were unwilling to pay that I have to come to their house to ask for money..."

There are many hospitable retired volunteers in the old district of Crescent Garden. They are happy to help maintain the good running of the community, especially teaching those disobedient new residents lessons.

Bang, bang, the thick alloy door was slammed by the lady violently. She urged angrily.

"Open the door immediately. I know you're inside. You haven't paid utilities for three months. It's less than a hundred dollors in total. It's too irresponsible to repudiate such small amount of money!"

The lady was energetic with her loud voice. "The last two times I came, you weren't at home. Today, I asked Mr. Capener next door to keep an eye on you specially. I know you're in the house. Open the door! A hundred dollars is not a big deal. Don't be so irresponsible. Since you live here, you have to follow the rules. You have to promise not to repudiate utilities in the future. Don't expect us to come here all day to teach you..."

Derek opened the door in a daze with his short, messy hair.

The lady continued to criticize, "Finally open the door, you..." But when she looked inside, she was shocked and screamed, "What's wrong with your house?!"

It was even more terrifying than a home invasion robbery. The sofa and chairs were in a mess, the curtains were torn to pieces, and there were pieces of cups and plates on the floor.

Compared to the frightened expression of her, Derek was still in a daze. He said in a deep voice slowly, "Don't pat on my door."

Until now, the lady turned to look at the tall and thin young man in front of her.

Because Derek didn't sleep enough, he was sleepy and spoke with his head half lowered. It seemed that he was woke up by the noise, and reluctantly got up for he couldn't stand the noise anymore. His shirt and pants were all crooked. He looked lazy, but wasn't sloppy. The first impression to him was that this young man had a good temperament, who should be a well-educated and civilized man.

Although he is a good-looking young boy with a lovely voice and a good temperament, she had to criticize him for he had done something wrong.

The lady showed him the bills in her hand and said with a lower voice. "It's been three months since you paid the utilities. I came here to inform you that if you don't pay it, the security guards would cut off your electricity and water directly."

She continued to complain that, "The sun has upped for a long time, and you were still sleeping, young people nowadays are all like this. I came to inform you kindly but you complained so much."

Derek hadn't paid the utilities.

It was 98.2 dollars in total.

He took the bills and tried to close the door.

However, the old lady was such an experienced dunner. Just as Derek wanted to close the door, she angrily slapped the door with a big palm and stopped him.

"It's only 100 dollars. When can you pay it off? Do you really want your water and power supply to be cut off? It'll bring you a lot of trouble, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Although the lady was furious, she advised him in earnest.

"I don't have money."

Derek looked up and said this. His voice was low, lazy, and slow.

What a shameless man! How could he just admitted that he had no money!

The old lady was so angry that she was about to continue scolding him. But when she saw Derek's face, she suddenly stopped talking, as if she had forgotten what to say.

He caught a glimpse of the black cat in the room coming over to watch the show, then he quickly went over and caught it.

With his long, white hand, he was steadily holding a black cat. Derek asked seriously with a low and deep voice, "Can I use this cat to pay for it?"

The old lady was dumbfounded, gibbering with astonishment. She quickly waved her hand, "No, no!"

She looked at the black cat, which was struggling with its teeth and claws in the air. Then she looked up at Derek's handsome face and looked into his clear blue eyes.

This young man is really pretty. The thought popped into her mind.

She had said so many harsh words just now as if she was a bully, but the young man did not show any anger on his face. He was really well-educated. No wonder he was so handsome.

As for her, who ran into his house to make a big noise for merely a hundred dollars utilities. The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she became. How could this young man deliberately owe such a small amount of money? He must be in trouble. I'm really old and confused.

In the end, Derek did not say anything. But the old lady who came to urge the money was thinking nonsense and did not press for it anymore. She lowered her head and felt ashamed. "Mr. Fisher, forgive me for being rude today..."

Derek still maintained the gesture he carried the cat. His face was fair and handsome, with a hint of confusion in his blue eyes. He did not say anything.

The lady praised him from the bottom of her heart. It was the first time she had met such a handsome man in her life. Moreover, he had such a good temper that he was not mad at all.

She instantly became warm and kind. She smiled with fine wrinkles around her eyes," Derek, do you usually live here alone? When did you move here? I've lived here for 40 years. The houses in this area are a little older, but the neighbors nearby are very kind and contented. Life here does not move as fast as the life in the east. It's rare for young people like you to stay here..."

Looking at Derek's appearance, the lady associated all the good characters with him subconsciously.

Seeing the lady suddenly became so enthusiastic. Derek felt a little awkward. He wanted to close the door directly, but the door was tightly held by her. He was still holding the cat and listened to her without any emotion.

Suddenly, the lady got close to him excitedly. "Derek, I wonder if you would mind me introducing a girl to you. My niece is really good and filial..."

Without changing his expression, Derek took a step back. He didn't like to get too close to others, nor did he like to be socially intimate with them.
