Chapter 1576


    "Don''t worry about money, it''s so pedestrian. There are far more interesting things in this world than money." ric said.


    Ethan was taken aback. The typicallyid-back, affluent yboy, ric, uttering such sentimental words waspletely out of character.


    It was as if he had be apletely different person.


    Something must be up.


    Ethan asked cautiously, "Dude, are you in some kind of trouble? Just spill it, man. We''re brothers; no need to beat around the bush.”


    Ethan was sure ric needed a favor.


    Otherwise, why the sudden philosophical musings?


    Hearing the seriousness in Ethan''s voice, ricughed, "Chill, man, I''m not asking for anything. Just inviting you for some grub."


    "Oh? Something good happened? Share the joy, man," Ethan rxed a bit.


    "What else could make me happy? You know the usual,” ric said nonchntly.


    "About a woman?" Ethan guessed right away. He knew ric''s tastes better than ric''s own mother.


    Money might not always bring joy to Ethan, but a woman who caught his eye was a different story.


    "Sort of."


    "Things moving fast, huh?" Ethan''s voice came through the phone.


    ric was pouring a drink and paused, then, with a teasing tone, said, "Ethan, be honest, did you do this on purpose?”


    "What do you mean ''on purpose’? I''m lost."


    "The apartment you hooked me up with, making her my neighbor.” ric didn''t hide it, openly admitting that things were indeed progressing with her.


    Though it wasn''t anything official yet, just knowing she and Spencer weren''t an item meant he was already halfway there.


    "What are you saying?" Ethan was both surprised and amazed. "The apartment I got for you is next to hers? That''s just too coincidental...”


    ric coulehtell from his surprised -.


    tone that Ethan wasn''t faking it, and


    there was no reason to. It seemed


    Ethan genuinely didn''t know >


    beforehand.


    It looked like fate really did bring them together. Ethan randomly assigning apartments and ending up cing him next to her.


    Fate works in mysterious ways, indeed!


    ric felt even better, his recent moodiness dissipated.


    "Enough talk, lunch is on me tomorrow. A feast," ric ended the call.


    Meanwhile; after settling her


    emotions; She returned to her roam,


    greeted by the sight of her ~~


    bedspread, duvet, and pillows all


    adorhed with characters from


    "Peppa Pig."


    The pink little pig''s eyes seemed to stare at her, as if wanting tomunicate. The childishness filled the room, reminiscent of a kindergarten.


    She suddenly understood how ric must have felt seeing her room''s decor, finding it both amusing and ridiculous.


    Thinking about ric''s misunderstanding, she couldn''t help butugh and feel embarrassed at the same time.


    Oh dear, ric actually thought she


    liked thiskind of decor, thinking her


    to be chitdlike. Fora thirty-year-old


    woman 110 privately enjoy such


    childish things, anyone would find it

    -


    Though it was a perfect misunderstanding, there was no way to exin it


    She began to feel ashamed


    Climbing into bed, she pulled the cover over herself, too embarrassed to face anyone.


    As she was squirming, her phone rang.


    Reaching out, she grabbed the phone and answered the call.
