Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 105 He’s My Lover (1)

?

So I gave a nod and said, "Thank you."

Haley looked right back at me and said, "You don't need to thank me. It should be me thanking you. If it wasn't for what you did last night, it'd be hard to imagine where I would be now…"

Her voice trailed off as she said this as a look of sadness filled her eyes.

I could guess what she was thinking because of these eyes, so I gave a cough and reached my hand out to her.

Seeing this hand, she reached out with a smile and shook it.

With this, the deal had been made.

But of course, a deal couldn't be set with just a handshake alone.

We still had to sign a contract and pay a down payment before any of this would start.

So I stood up and left the seat open for Nicole who sat down in my place.

She was here to help me take care of these small things and signing the contract was one of those small things. Not to mention, that it was her speciality, spotting things that weren't right about contracts.

She was a very literate girl and could read at a very fast rate, it would take her no time to find the problems with this contract if there were any.

In the end, there were no problems with this contract.

This wasn't strange since Haley had already said that she considered us friends, so there was no way that she would try to rip us off with this contract.

It took Nicole no time to finish reading this contract and she gave a nod to confirm that I could sign it.

I had faith in Nicole's abilities, so I didn't hesitate to sign the contract.

The only thing left now was leaving a deposit so that they wouldn't be working without any guarantees.

This wasn't a problem since we had already prepared money for this since we had expected to sign a contract today. The only problem was that we had brought too much money since we had expected the down payment to be much higher.

I took out two gold coins from my money pouch and handed it over to Haley.

When she took this and the contract, she said, "I have confirmed that we have received everything. I will go talk to my people and we'll see when we can start moving the food and supplies over to your territory."

I gave a nod in response to this.

Then Haley added, "Can you come back tomorrow? I'll have finished contacting them and then we'll be able to discuss the issue of transport."

I once again gave a nod in response to this.

She reached her hand out towards me with a smile before saying, "I'm looking forward to working with you."

I took this hand without hesitation and shook it with a smile on my face as I said, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Just like this, everything had been set, so there was no reason for us to stay in the store anymore.

I offered to buy Haley dinner, but she rejected this since she had plenty of work to do contacting all the people. I didn't insist since I knew that it would be a lot of work for her, so I just wished her luck and headed out.

The rest of the day was very nice and relaxed for us.

We had settled the matter of finding food and supplies for the town for winter and it was at a price that was much lower than we had expected. So of course we had to celebrate.

But instead of going to the fancy restaurant, we just picked a random restaurant near the inn.

Since this inn catered to nobles, the restaurants that were nearby definitely weren't cheap or low grade either. These were also restaurants that catered to nobles, though they weren't as expensive as the one that we went to yesterday.

Though judging by the looks on the faces of the two girls, they still found this place expensive.

Still, it was a celebration, so I didn't hold back at all as I ordered several dishes for the table.

But even if it was a celebration, we ended it early so we could go to bed early.

We still had to talk to Haley tomorrow to ensure that everything could be transported properly to the town, so I wanted to go to the store nice and early to make sure that there weren't any problems with the people she was talking to tonight.

The night passed and the morning came.

When we woke up in the morning, we just had some quick breakfast before heading off to the store. 

It was much earlier than yesterday when we set out, but we also made sure that we didn't go too early. After all, it wouldn't be good to show up before the store opened.

When we arrived, we found that the store was open, so we headed in.

However, the moment that we went in…

"You ungrateful daughter! Do you know what kind of things you've put Alex through with all the things that you've done? How does that make me, your father look?!"

This was the voice that rang out when we walked into the store.

Looking in the direction that this loud voice came from, we saw three figures standing there in the center of the store.

Two of these figures were people that we were familiar with.

They were Haley and her husband.

The other one was a middle aged man that we didn't know at all, but he was currently shouting at Haley. When one looked closely, they could see that there were some similarities between his facial features and Haley's.

So one could guess that he was her father based on what he had said previously.

But this scene really made it seem like he was her husband's father rather than her father with the way that he was treating her.

I couldn't help feeling a bit displeased as I saw this.
