169 The Girl Makes Her Decision (1/2)

Even as Yeo Ri got home, she did not forget about the offer that Park Soo Yeon had given her.

Fortunately, Mrs. Choi did not bring up the subject anymore and allowed her some time to think about it.

She bade the two generous ladies goodbye with a polite 90-degrees bow and thanked them for their kindness.

As she stepped into her apartment and placed the shopping bags down, she sighed.

”Yeo Ri-ah?” Gun came up to her, surprised. He eyed the shopping bags curiously.

Like a gentleman, Gun helped take Yeo Ri's coat off and hung it by the door. ”Did you have a good time?” he asked as he led her to sit down. ”Are you tired? Did you have fun?”

”Mm,” Yeo Ri nodded listlessly.

”What's wrong?” Gun frowned, feeling like something was off.

”Nothing,” she sighed again.

”So what did you do at the mall? What did you buy?” he curiously asked, patiently waiting for her to talk about her day.

”I went to the mall with Da Na-unnie and Auntie, and they bought me food and clothes...” she sighed for the third time.

”Oh?” Gun raised an eyebrow. His mind worked quickly and he could somewhat deduce the reason why Yeo Ri was so down.

Both Yeo Ri and Gun did not like owing people. They may be poor, but they did not like relying on other people's charity to live. In his mind, he was already calculating on how much he should pay Da Na back.

”Did you thank them properly?”

”Mm... maybe?” Yeo Ri timidly replied. She was unsure if neither accepting nor rejecting Mrs. Choi's generous offer could be considered thanking them properly.
