Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 108 He’s My Lover (4)

?

"Huh?" Both Haley and her father said this as they looked at me with strange looks.

But then both of them reacted to what I had just said.

As soon as they reacted, they revealed different expressions in response to this.

Haley's father's face twisted when he heard this and he glared even more at me.

But Haley had a touched look when she heard this.

As for me, I couldn't help giving a bitter laugh deep down.

I had said this, but as for meaning it…I didn't really mean it. After all, I didn't know how much it would cost to buy this store, but it definitely wouldn't be a small amount and this was an amount that I didn't have right now.

But in this situation, it was best to make this show of support.

If there was a side that I wanted to support, it was her side.

There was another long moment of silence before Haley's father suddenly gave a snort.

He looked at me and said, "Who said that the store is for sale? This is the best performing branch of our company, so how could we ever sell something like this?"

In the end, he backed down when he had been threatened and made a compromise.

With this, he was basically declaring that he wouldn't do anything to Haley's store. Instead, he would be finding another way to convince her of his point of view.

After hearing this, Haley couldn't help being surprised.

In all her years of knowing her father, this was her first time seeing him make a compromise like this. After all, he had the power and influence of their family's company behind them, so they normally wouldn't need to do something like this.

But for the first time, he was in an unfamiliar place and facing a noble, so he had no choice but to compromise.

Because this kingdom was still run by the nobles and he wasn't one of them.

Offending a noble was a one way ticket to hell.

Unless one was a fool, they would never do something like that.

After saying this, Haley's father gave another snort before turning around and waving his hand at Haley's husband.

Haley's husband had an unwilling look on his face, but he still followed Haley's father out.

As they left, Haley's father couldn't help turning to look at Haley one last time before saying, "This isn't over yet."

Haley revealed a bitter smile when she heard this, but she didn't say anything else.

When they were gone, the two of us just remained like that for a bit until Haley realized what was happening. With a blush on her face, she moved back and pulled away from me.

I couldn't help feeling a bit of regret when this happened.

Without her noticing, I had been secretly enjoying the feeling of being able to hold her.

After all, that body of hers…was definitely top grade.

That soft feeling that came from her, it wasn't inferior to the feeling that I felt when I was holding Cecilia or Baroness Rose.

She was definitely a beauty that was at the same level as the two of them.

After another period of silence, Haley suddenly gave a slight bow to me as she said, "Thank you for your help."

I just raised my hand to wave them in front of me before saying, "It was nothing. I just came at the right time to help."

Haley stood back up and shook her head before saying, "No, it isn't nothing. If it wasn't for you…I really don't know what would have happened to me."

I didn't say anything in response to this because I knew…that she was right.

If I hadn't come when I did, who knows what would have happened with her father and husband.

I knew that those two hadn't just come to abuse her verbally, but they definitely had plans to get physical if they needed to…

But I also knew that it would be bad for her heart if I continued with this topic, so I changed the topic by saying, "Is everything prepared already?"

Haley took a moment to react before understanding what I was asking.

She said, "Un, I've already contacted my suppliers and they will be able to gather everything in a few days. Then we'll have our people send the goods over to your territory."

After a pause, she suddenly said, "Since it's you, I'll have my best people send the goods. That way it'll arrive as soon as possible."

I couldn't help revealing a grateful look when I heard this.

As soon as possible was the best for our town since the people there were worried about our dwindling supplies. At the same time, if there was a sudden accident or natural disaster, that would mean that the town would be trapped without any supplies.

This was certain to cause many deaths in the town.

So getting the supplies as soon as possible was for the best.

I gave a nod before saying, "Thank you."

Haley revealed a smile as she said, "This is nothing compared to what you have done for me. I'm just happy that I can do a little something to repay you."

She had seen the serious way he took this order, so she knew that he must have his own worries.

If she could help just a little, then that would be good enough for her.

Then as if she suddenly decided on something, she said, "As for the price…"

She paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'll sell you the goods at a discounted price."

I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this before asking, "Are you sure about that?"

Haley gave a nod before saying, "This is the least that I can repay you with after you've helped me. Not to mention, I can consider this as building a relationship with an important customer in the future."

I nodded in response to this.

But there was a small part of me that felt that taking this deal was a loss…

It wasn't a loss in terms of business, but there was a sense of personal loss.

Like our relationship would change because of this.

But I just couldn't resist since it was a very enticing deal…
