The Marriage That Never Was (Leonard and Lisa )
Chapter 57

Chapter 57

“Maybe Ms. Lisa is just frugal by nature.”

Leonard had thought of this reason too. His parents feared he would develop extravagant habits when he studied abroad, so they provided him with a limited monthly allowance. He had to get a part-time job or start his own business if he needed

more.

They thought it best that young people did not rely too much on their families.

“I recall owning several apartments near the university,” Leonard said, “Terminate the contracts with the current tenants and provide them with monetary compensation. Find a way to rent one of those units to Lisa at a lower price.”

A peculiar expression flashed across Jackson’s face. Previously, Leonard demanded Lisa leave and discussed a divorce. Now, he secretly offered her a place to stay.

Jackson could not quite understand Leonard’s intentions.

Lisa was frustrated. She thought it would be easy to rent an apartment, but after two days of searching, she still had not found a place she liked. Some were dirty and had worn-out furniture, while others were steeply priced or not in a convenient location.

She considered renting a rundown apartment and replacing the furniture later since it would be comfortable to live in once there were new furnishings.

At that moment, she got a call from the real estate agent. They said they had a particularly high-end apartment available at a great location they had renovated. The owner urgently needed money and wanted to rent out the place quickly.

Upon seeing the place, Lisa was not hopeful but instantly fell in love with the unit. It was a loft apartment with exquisite and cozy decorations. It also had a TV, refrigerator, and air conditioning.

The lower level had a living room and dining area, while the upper level had a small study on one side and a bedroom on the

other.

“How much is this apartment per month?”

The agent smiled and said, “Two hundred.”

“Only two hundred?” Lisa was dumbfounded, “That’s impossible.”

“It’s true, but you must pay six months’ rent upfront because the owner urgently needs the money.”

“All right, no problem. I’ll take it.”

Lisa did not hesitate any further.

‘What a joke. At such a low price for a high-end place like this, even paying two years in advance wouldn’t be a problem, let alone half a year.’

After signing the necessary documents, Lisa immediately changed the passcode to the door and moved her luggage from the hotel to her new apartment. It was her first time having a place of her own.

Lisa was ecstatic. Although Sabastian’s house was great, she had been living under someone else’s roof. As for the Parker family, they constantly disliked her and looked down on her. Leonard had often scolded her too.

However, that would no longer be the case since Lisa could do as she pleased in her own place.

She excitedly headed downstairs to the supermarket and bought many household items. After two busy days, she finished decorating the house, giving it a cozy vibe. She then called Celine.

“When are you coming back to Queenston? I just rented an apartment. Come for a sleepover before we have to go back to school. We can have a pizza party!”

“You suddenly got married, and now you’re renting an apartment? Why?” Celine asked in confusion, “Did your husband kick

the bucket?”

Lisa wanted to laugh. She replied, “No, we’re still married, but we had too many conflicts while living together, so I decided to move out. Hey, I found a great deal. It’s a loft, and the rent’s cheap.”

“Okay. I’ll come over tonight.”
