My Sexy Wife

Chapter 15 Lower Your Voice (2)

The next morning, Johnny tidied up his things before Lucia and Brown woke up. He did not have many

things with him, just a few clothes. He took a single luggage bag with him when he came, and the

clothes were all his property. Johnny carried the luggage and went to work. He was guilty. Even if they

did not say about it, he wanted to move out too. He could not keep disturbing them. The reason that he

stayed there was to hope that he could get any news from them about Queenie but Lucia told him

clearly last night. He did not have to stay there anymore and kept bothering them. So, he carried his

luggage and planned to search for a house when he went out for delivery, while he could directly move

in, very convenient.

Once Johnny had decided to move out, he did it in a fast pace. He rented the house that morning and

then moved in. Johnny did not have a specific requirement to rent a house, so it was easy for him to do

it. The only requirement was cheap because he had to save money. Just like what he said, he was

clear about where there were cheap houses for rent as he weaved through the city every day. When he

passed by the place that day, he went in straight away and met the landlord. He rented it without much

bargaining.

The room was in the basement, it seemed to be a basement carpark previously. The landlord bought it

afterwards and had the electricity and water supply all set. The basement was divided into several

small rooms. The room rented by Johnny just had an area of 15 meters square, which was quite big as

compared to others. There was a bed, an old desk and a chair in it, the three items were the only

furniture provided. He had to pay the electricity bill and the 500 rental fee every month. It was the

cheapest place to rent in Pearl City. Johnny was satisfied with everything in it. The only thing that he

was discontented with was the lighting. It was too dark. Besides, the air was quite stale. But the rental

was just 500 bucks and he was happy with that. He would just stay there during night time, so he would

not consider much.

After having a busy day, he went to a nearby supermarket after getting off his work. He bought the

necessities and even bought an induction cooker and a pot. They were all his property.

When he went back, he found Brown and Lucia standing outside of his rented place. Johnny was not

surprised that they were there because Brown had called him before and he told Brown the location.

“Damn, this is the place you rent? Why are you so stingy? Does it deserve you? You see, there are

many labourers living here!” Brown chided once he saw Johnny.

“Why? Labourers are not human? Don’t look down on labourers, they play an important role to build the

city. If there is no labourer, who wants to urbanize the city?” Johnny took the key and entered. Lucia

helped him to carry the things.

“I am telling you something serious. Don’t brush the subject aside. I know you owe a lot of money and

want to pay off the debt, but you should not push yourself so hard, right? Look at you, work so hard to

earn money. Making money is important but you can treat yourself better. You could at least rent a

place that is comfortable. How can you stay here? Why do you have to torture yourself? I really

empathize with you.” Brown was furious obviously. He continued, “If I knew that you would stay in this

kind of place, I would have let you continue to stay in my house.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Why? You miss me, are you?” Johnny smiled and said, “Bro, I get your kindness. Well, I am single. I

go to work from dawn to dusk and just stay here for a few hours at night. I don't need a fancy place to

live in. A man does not really care about the living condition. This place is good enough. Apart from the

shared bathroom and the fact that I have to go to the public tap to get water, the rest is fine. You see,

it's got electricity, wifi and a bed, right? I will be relieved after I pay off the debt. I am so tired of worrying

about the debt all the time. Alright, bro, it is nothing to me. What is this compared to the tough life of our

ancestors, huh? Lucia, have a rest, I will tidy up the things by myself. Let me take you two out for

dinner tonight and have a housewarming party. Order whatever you want to eat. Of course, if it costs

over 300 bucks, you pay for the extra,” Johnny joked, as he brought Brown and Lucia out to have

dinner.

“Hello!”

“Hello!”

“Are you Mr. Franco?”

“Yes, I am, who are you?” Johnny picked up the phone while driving his electric tricycle.

“Hi, I don’t know if you still remember a girl you had saved from a car accident a few days ago? I am

her father. We really appreciate your help. If you are not there, my daughter would've died in the

explosion. You’re our saviour. I asked the traffic police for help and saw your car in the surveillance

video. And I get to know your working location. I went to your office just now and took your phone

number. Mr. Franco, are you free now? My family and I want to meet you in person to express our

gratitude,” the man said in the phone.

Johnny thought for a while and recalled the accident. He asked directly, “Is your daughter alright?”

“It's no big deal. She passed out that day. After staying in the hospital for two days, she can leave now.

Mr. Franco. Is it convenient for you now? Can you tell us where is your precise location? I will ask the

driver to pick you up,” the man said politely.

“You are so kind. Mister, I just did it out of my instinct. Whoever in that situation would save your

daughter as well. I remembered after I saved your daughter, there was a lot of people helping her at

that time. So, you don’t have to thank me. I didn't save your daughter for rewards or anything. I am glad

that your daughter is safe now.”

“No, no, it might be a small matter for you but for us, you’re saving our entire family. We must thank you

in person.”

“Forgive me, sir. I already said that I don’t need you to repay me. If I really wanted you to thank me, I

would've stayed and waited for you there. I don’t like to show off. I am an introvert. So, don’t come

here. I have helped your daughter now; then maybe one day if I am involved in an accident, someone

will help me, right? Mister, if you really appreciate my help, don’t look for me anymore. Don’t spread

this matter to my office or wait for me there. Everyone is on social media right now. If someone posts it

on the internet, it would be really cringy for me. I beg you, forget about it. Don’t look for me. This is how

I wish you to thank me. Ok, bye!” Johnny hung up the call instantly after that.

“Jesus. If someone really puts that on the internet, I will have to say goodbye to the peaceful life.”

Johnny was nervous, but then he smiled and murmured to himself, “I am a real hero, a real anonymous

hero, a keen hero, right? Hahaha!”

On Friday night, Johnny got off work a bit late. According to the rule of the delivery company, he

normally had less parcels to deliver on Saturday and Sunday because a lot of people were out during

weekends and couldn't receive the parcels. So the delivery men would have a half-day leave during

weekends, resting in the morning and then working for the entire afternoon. Johnny did not know about

other companies but his company had been following this rule.
