Chapter 69
I couldn’t help but think this was one heck of a coincidence. I wasn’t sure if Leonardo had planned this or if it was just a pure accident. Did he know Samuel would be here?.

As he spoke, he lowered his pare, wiping the black pepper sauce of his fingers with a napkin.
Meanwhile, Samuel stood rooted to the spot, glaring at me. The whole situation was Leonardo’s doing. So, why was Samuel looking at me like it was my fault?
His breathing grew heavier as he spat, “You two are sneaking around behind my back, huh? Just look at the time, and you’re here with her? Did she show up at your dont last night?

In my past life, Samuel had indeed kept that promise. But why was Leonardo bringing it up to threaten him?

Even if that’s the case, she’s blind and can barely dress herself. What, are you going to help her with the fittings?” Samuel retorted
Leonardo calmly replied, “You said you haven’t forgotten. But judging by your attitude, maybe you have. Don’t you see why I’m asking her to try on the clothes? Samuel furrowed his brows, his expression darkening with unspokenteraion
