Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

It was a sunny day, and Lucy found herself lazing around in her room, scrolling on her phone. After a while, she listlessly set her phone aside, feeling bored.

As Matthew said, Lucy came here to lay low.

Cillian came with her too, but his case was different. He needed a believable reason for coming to Charleston, which was to complete the assignment his professor gave him.

Hence, he would go out early in the morning to gather information, leaving Lucy alone in the hotel.

Lucy lay down on the hotel bed, stretching lazily.

She muttered to herself, "I'm so bored. Why didn't Matthew give me something to bring to Charleston so that I could entertain myself?"

The more Lucy thought about it, the more restless she became. Suddenly, she jumped up from the bed. "Since I'm bored, I might as well go out and find a guest house. I can't stand sitting in the hotel every day."

Lucy first sent a message to Cillian, informing him of her whereabouts. Then, she grabbed a bag and stuffed her phone, some cash, sunscreen, lipstick, tissues, and other essentials women typically carried with them into the bag. Finally, she left the hotel.

Once she was outside, Lucy felt like a bird out of its cage. She joyfully wandered the streets of Charleston.

Lucy looked around her curiously.

The streets here were made of cobblestone, not asphalt like back at home. The shops lining both sides of the street seemed to have been here for a long time, bearing the signs of age and history. There were even little girls carrying flower baskets on the street.

Lucy was surprised to see that there were still little girls selling flowers on the streets in this day and age.

After glancing at the girls, Lucy withdrew her gaze and took out her phone. She wanted to use the navigation app to see if there were any guest houses nearby available for rent.

After fiddling with it for a while, Lucy followed the navigation and started wandering around. As she wandered, she ended up getting lost...

It was not entirely her fault as the city was quite old, so there were many small alleys branching off from the main street.

The navigation told her to go left and then right, so she followed, but she found herself getting even more lost in the streets.

Lucy looked around in confusion, feeling a little panicked when she saw several narrow alleys ahead.

Gulping, she decided to retrace her steps. She could not afford to not find her way back to her hotel.

Luckily, Lucy still had a decent sense of direction, so getting back was not an issue.

In no time, Lucy found herself standing on the same street where she had turned on the navigation a while ago.

Lucy sighed, feeling thankful that she could at least find her way back to the hotel.

Just then, she felt a small tug on the hem of her skirt.

Looking down, she saw one of the girls from earlier. She had adorable ponytails on both sides of her head. There was a shy look in her eyes. "Miss, would you like to buy some flowers?" the girl asked timidly.

Lucy gave it some thought as she looked at the basket of vibrant white roses.

She squatted down and gave the little girl a warm smile. "I'll buy one bouquet."

Then, she took out some money from her purse and handed it to the girl.

The girl smiled bashfully and handed the flowers to Lucy.

"Miss, are you looking for someone? Why did you come back here?"
