Chapter 144 New Ownership.

Setting with anger, Leonica was near about to smack the smile off Melvin's face when she heard her name being called from being her.

Her entire demeanor seemed to change the moment she turned around and spotted Owen carrying nylons of what she assumed was food.

Melvin of course, didn’t fail to notice the shift in her character. His eyes gravitated from his little sister towards the blonde boy who was staring speechlessly at him.

Did she have a soft spot for this blondie? He thought, resisting the urge to tilt his head as he studied Owen from head to toe.

“Owen, what are you doing here?” Partially forgetting her brother’s presence, Leonica sauntered towards Owen, offering him a smile as she gently held his forearm.

“I thought it would be nice to surprise you ahead of time,” Came Owen’s response, but Leonica could tell he wasn’t one hundred percent focused on her. When she followed his line of sight- once again recalling that she had been dealing with Melvin- she groaned.
