152 Liu Jinhai's confession, once again

Jinhai paused just for a fraction of a second, but he said nothing.

Nana waited patiently.

"Why not?", he asked back, "I know she was deliberately creating problems for you. Now, you don't have to worry about her."

"I…appreciate your gesture. But your help was not right after…what happened. It will only cause more misunderstandings."

Silence.

"I knew she was lying. She wouldn't have been able to kick us out. And even if worst comes to worst, we would have left. I have some savings. I could have set up a new place for Natsukashi. It would have taken time, but I could have managed it."

Jinhai walked around his desk and pulled out some papers.

"Here. This is the agreement of that place. I'm giving it to you. Read and sign it. It will be yours now."

She widened her eyes.

"I just said you don't need to help me. This will be too much. I cannot afford to buy the place. I will not be able to pay the debt."

"You don't owe me anything.", he said.
