Chapter 3061
Anne froze upon hearing John's idea.
A second later, she sighed and nodded.
"Alright. I'll be off now." John sighed as he took the empty cup from her. "I know that neither of us would even blink an eye for ten thousand dollars in the past, but..."
Things have changed.
10000 dollars was more than enough to cover their household expenses for three months and temporarily relieve their financial burden. He wanted to do everything he could to get his hands on the money.
The look Anne cast at him was full of helplessness and remorse.
She wrapped her arms around John's body and gently kissed his jaw. Finally, she fixed her gaze on him, as though she was trying to tell him that she would support him no matter what.
Although Anne could no longer speak, they were soulmates and could understand each other with just one glance.
Therefore, John understood exactly what she was trying to convey to him.
He nodded before finally walking out of the room and closing the door gently behind him. Then, he tiptoed to the kitchen to put down Anne's cup before leaving the house.
He lit a cigarette as he strode down the stairwell and texted the real estate agent. [How much for a pair of keys to the apartment across?]
He knew that there was no such thing as free lunch; the real estate agent would never give out such benefits free of charge.
To his surprise, the real estate agent replied with a smiling emoji. [You're Robyn's brother, aren't you?]
John paused momentarily, then replied, (Yes, I am.]
