Chapter 184 A Fraud (Part One)
Taking a look at Rena, Miguel didn't respond. He walked to her and said, "Dear Leena, I think there is
something wrong with your brother's sudden return. And how did he know that you just moved? Be
careful of your brother."
"Miguel, tell me what you have guessed!" Rena stepped forward and pulled Miguel's hand, trying to
make him speak out the truth.
Leena frowned and looked at the two people in front of her. The dishes behind her were still burning,
steaming. Even Rena's voice might not be covered. However, at this moment, she suddenly looked
forward.
Rena was puzzled. She looked in the direction of Leena's gaze and was shocked! Because of
Peterson, Peterson suddenly stood at the door.
Just when they were talking, Peterson suddenly came in, which really frightened Rena and Miguel.
Leena was also surprised. They stopped talking at the same time. Looking at the man who standing
outside, they seemed to be dissatisfied with his sudden intrusion, and at the same time, they were a
little guilty and panic.
Standing at the door for a while, Peterson looked at the three people with a smile on his face. He didn't
know if he had heard anything, but he could still say to Leena calmly, "Have you finished cooking?
Mom asked me to come in and have a look."
Leena nodded and had to take out a piece of fried pork with bean curds. Peterson wanted to take it.
Leena said, "I'll do it. I can send it out."
Peterson suddenly teased, "Don't you three have something to talk about? Let me do it. I can't just wait
for you to do nothing."
Peterson's words shocked Rena. She always felt that what he said was pointing at her, so she stared
at Peterson coldly.
Even Leena felt weird. They were talking about his brother, but he heard it. It was indeed a little
embarrassing. But she was calmer than Rena.
Peterson took the plate from Leena's hand and glanced at them again. With a sarcastic smile at the
corners of his mouth, he walked out, leaving the three stunned people behind.
After being interrupted this time, Miguel didn't dare to say anything, but lowered his head helplessly.
Not daring to ask, Rena and Leena looked at each other.
Leena said, "Don't be suspicious. It's a good thing that my brother can come back."
"But you can't be too kind to your brother!" Said Rena.
Shaking her head helplessly, she turned around and continued to cook. Rena looked at the door and
said to them, "I'll go out first. Be careful when you talk!"
The three of them couldn't stay in the same room all the time. It was so weird. No wonder Peterson had
come in just now. Rena went out first, but there was only Miguel left. Miguel seemed to have something
to say, but he kept silent all the time. When Leena finished her work, he said, "Leena, I think Alina's
behavior today must be wrong. You'd better be careful of your brother."
After cleaning up the kitchen and wiping the stove, Leena turned around and took off her apron. "Thank
you for your concern, my dear brother. I'll be careful."
After a moment of silence, Miguel suddenly asked softly, "Can we have a talk alone? If you don't want
to be my girlfriend, you can be a friend, right? "
Surprised, Leena looked down at her toes, thinking that Miguel was still unwilling to give up. There was
no need for Miguel to do that. He didn't cherish it when he got it, but now he wanted to regret it. At that
time, she liked him so much. She had never imagined that she could love someone so wholeheartedly
for so many years. Nine years later, he abandoned her as if she was in a shoes of despair and hurt her
so much.
Could time really change a person's temperament and charm? Now she didn't think that Miguel was as
beautiful as he was when he was a child, but she was more and more attractive to him? Was this a
kind of revenge? Normally, she should have laughed heartily, but Leena didn't feel happy. It seemed
that she had been indifferent to this matter.
She looked up at Miguel. With a gentle smile, Miguel said sincerely, "Just be friends."
If they were just friends, she wouldn't reject Miguel so much. Although she hated Miguel when she
knew that he betrayed her for Alina the second time, she had thought of ignoring him for the rest of her
life. But after a long time, she found that she didn't have such a strong feeling for Miguel. Maybe she
didn't love him anymore, so she didn't hate him so much. It turned out that she had been indifferent to
Miguel.
Besides, Miguel had helped her a lot. In fact, she should thank Miguel. It was the first time that Leena
looked at the person in front of her and finally nodded.
Miguel smiled.
At about 9:30 in the evening, Peterson finished his dinner. As usual, she cleaned up the table. This
time, Rena helped her. To their surprise, Spencer and Miguel didn't go back, but waited for Leena and
Rena.
Spencer had reminded Miguel to go back, because His mom Susan was very strict with him. If Miguel
didn't go back too late, his mother would definitely ask him. And if there was nothing important, Mrs.
Susan would ask him to go back before 10 o'clock. But this time, Miguel didn't respond. He smiled
indifferently and said, "I'll drive Leena and Rena back to their apartment with you."
Miguel had asked Leena if she lived at home in advance, but Leena didn't plan to live there since she Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
saw Peterson come back. Moreover, she had to go to the school and discuss the design topic with the
teacher tomorrow morning. Thinking about it, she didn't want to disturb her mother and brother at
home. It was because Miguel was waiting to escort Leena back.
Spencer was curious. He got close to Miguel and asked with a smile, "Did you stay in the kitchen for a
while and persuade Leena to make up with you two?"
"Maybe we can only be friends." Miguel smiled lonely, but in fact, he was much better than before when
Leena ignored him, wasn't he?
Spencer patted Mr. Miguel on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. It's good to be friends first.
Maybe there will be a chance in the future. But I really don't understand what you are thinking. After all,
have you really forgotten Alina?"
When mentioning the two words "Alina", Spencer's voice was not loud, but maybe this word was too
sensitive, which caused Peterson, who was talking to his mother not far away, to raise his head and
contact with Miguel's eyes. Therefore, when the rival in love saw his ex girlfriend, his eyes turned red.
Miguel and Peterson were several years apart. They were not familiar with each other when they were
young, and they had never seen each other since they grew up. Now they were against each other
because of a woman called Alina. It was ridiculous.
The first time Miguel knew Peterson was when he broke up with Alina. After Alina went to Dylan, he
sent people to inquire and learned that Alina had a very loyal knight in the Empire Group who had been
protecting her all the time. That knight was Peterson. And Peterson knew Miguel from the beginning,
because he met and fell in love with Alina a few years earlier than Miguel. Later, when Alina fell in love
with Miguel, he knew the existence of Miguel.
The two of them hadn't talked to each other before. Now they met at Leena's house. When they looked
at each other, a different feeling emerged in their hearts.
