She had access to the finest cuisine in the world and the money to buy everything she wanted.
“Let’s eat,” Leon said once the dishes were served.
He placed a piece of meat on Fiona’s plate. The woman returned to being reserved and ate very gingerly, taking only a few bites at a time.
While she was eating, Fiona’s mind wandered back to the issue at hand. Since Millie was adamant about staying in the neighborhood, Fiona would have to devise a plan to move out.

Millie was getting dangerously close to uncovering the truth. Worse, the girl Leon liked turned out to be her. No wonder Lois never succeeded in winning his heart, despite trying to do so for years.

“We really bought a lot of things today. I wish I had a bigger house. I’m running out of space to store these things,” Fiona said, trying to sound casual. She then patiently waited for Leon’s response.

After spending so much talone, he had grown accustomed to the peace and quiet. Having Fiona move in would throw off that lifestyle.
He knew that Fiona had been considering leaving the neighborhood in favor of a larger home, but for sreason, Leon wanted her to stay there.
Fiona tightened her grip on the fork and pursed her lips. Why did Leon not want her to live with him? He would not even let her leave the neighborhood.
It was then that an awful thought popped into her head.
Was it because Leon wanted to see Millie more frequently?
