Chapter 109: A bit of disappointment

Since that was settled, I didn't plan on staying any longer.

There were things that I wanted to do now because of what had happened here today, so I had to go and take care of them. 

But before I could go, Haley suddenly stopped me.

I was confused why she stopped me, but I waited for her to speak.

She seemed to be hesitating over something as she didn't say anything at first, but then she suddenly asked me, "About buying the store, were you serious?"

This question caught me off guard and I looked at her with one brow raised, not understanding why she would suddenly ask this question.

All I saw in her eyes was a serious look as if she was expecting a serious answer to this question.

So while I was still confused by why she would ask this question, I replied, "Well, it was half serious and half not."

This time, it was Haley's turn to be confused as she asked, "Half serious? What do you mean?"
