Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1569

Leah was silent as she watched the liquid from the drip slowly enter her body.

She seemed to be in deep thought, and Ernest asked her in a concerned voice. "What's wrong, Leah? What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Leah chuckled. "I just thought of something to do for the both of us!"

As she spoke, Leah gave Ernest a mysterious smile. This surprised Ernest. Something to do with both him and Leah?

He smiled again and asked softly, "What's the matter? You'd better tell me right now."

"I plan to get female turtles for my turtles after I get better," Leah replied.

Ernest was shocked.

"Is that what you were thinking about?"

Leah nodded. "Yeah, what else could there be? What do you think?"

Ernest shook his head and laughed. "I don't get it, but why do you need to find mates for the turtles?" "It's animal nature. I think they're lonely, and since they're not mating with one another, that means they're not gay. Time to find some ladies," Leah chuckled.

Ernest had no idea what to say. He found that Leah had a very strong imagination, and she cared about such a tiny thing.

"Don't you think they might not want a lady friend?"

"That's impossible. All animals have the right to reproduce, and they seem old enough to do so. If I find turtles close to their age, they should be able to have kids in no time."

Ernest was rendered speechless once more, and he couldn't help but laugh at Leah's words.

It felt a little strange.

Was Leah trying to imply something to him?

"Don't laugh. I'm serious. I think it's time to get them a mate. Every time I sit next to their tank, I see them glaring at me as they chew on their beans."

"They seem to be telling me that they're lonely, and that they're not willing to become gay turtles. Hence, they're mad at me for putting them together, and I feel guilty about that."

"Furthermore, the turtles have needs and they want to mate. I can't take away their right to reproduce. It's inhumane."

Ernest gave Leah a faint smile. "I think you're overthinking this. They're not as smart as they think you are."

"No way!" Leah quickly shook her head. "Ernest, you're a gentleman, so you might not have any needs, but the turtles aren't like you. You can't assume that they're free of needs right? They have the right to have sex, you know."

Ernest widened his eyes in surprise and rubbed his forehead. He couldn't help but burst out in laughter.

He said, "Leah, are you trying to say something?"

"What do you mean?" Leah staunchly refused to admit to what Ernest said, and she played dumb. "I'm not trying to say anything. I just want to find my turtles some girlfriends, but here you are chastising me for it."

Ernest smiled widely, and there was a discerning look in his eye. There was a strange emotion stirring in his heart as he looked at Leah's face.

Was she saying that he had no desires at all?

No, he was a normal man.

He was just thinking about his future, and he wouldn't rush into things.

Honestly, he was just observing.

On the other hand, Leah felt that Ernest was a smart man, and he had to know what she meant.

However, his expression remained unchanged.

Leah shrugged and teased, "You must've been a monk in your past life, Ernest."

"Lock and key, right? I'm sure that the turtles are just like us, right?"

Ernest nodded and said with a smile, "You're right. Also, I have something to say."

"What is it?"

"I'm not a monk. I'm just very careful about relationships." Ernest gave Leah a serious look and said, "I won't make a mistake just because I was too caught up in my feelings. If I do, that would be extremely irresponsible. If I make a move, then that means I've thought it through."

Leah was a little frightened by his gaze.

Her heart was also thumping wildly.

What did he mean?

She looked at his earnest expression with suspicion, and she had an inkling that he meant every word.

"I'm not someone who is good to everyone." This was the limit of what Ernest was willing to say.

He hoped Leah would understand what he meant.

Leah quickly turned around and said with a smile, "That's settled then. I hope you're still around when I recover, and we can go and get the turtles together. You can get your turtle a girlfriend, and I can do the same for mine. I hope they can make some little turtle babies soon."

Ernest was shocked that she didn't continue the topic and changed the topic instead. Did she not know what he was saying?

He paused and said, "Okay, if I'm still here, then let's go together."

"Sure." Leah nodded.

The two of them fell silent.

Leah waited for a long time and said, "You're a good guy, Ernest. You're right. We shouldn't be too hasty. If we are, then we're just being reckless."
