Her Tears Are His Weakness

Chapter 6

"Your friend?"

Leonardo's expression darkened. As all the captivating dreams crumbled, it undeniably ignited a sense of frustration within him. The woman who had sparked his desire that night turned out to be Layla.

The very thought made him feel nauseous. His anger surged, and his gaze sharpened. "Don't bring any outsiders here. This isn't your place."

His rage frightened everyone. No one understood what had caused his abrupt change in mood.

Layla explained with a smile, "I'm sorry. Since you never visit, I assumed it wouldn't matter to you "

"Who do you think you are?"

Samantha stood still, not daring to play with Stone. The dog nudged her repeatedly, but she didn't respond. Thus, it turned its attention to its ball instead.

"I'm sorry." She was completely baffled by what she might have said or done to provoke Leonardo's sudden anger. She gazed at Layla, feeling unsure.

Layla quickly suggested, "Samantha, you should head back first."

"Okay."

Seeing Leonardo's fury, Samantha quickly left for the gazebo to gather her belongings. Then, the butler promptly arranged a car to take her home.

Samantha sat in the car and sat out the window, her thoughts drifting. The rumors about Leonardo had portrayed him as an intimidating figure, so different from the man she had met earlier.

Perhaps she had been too naive. He seemed unpredictable after all.

A pang of guilt washed over her. It appeared her very presence had triggered Leonardo's outburst, leaving Layla to endure his wrath.

Thinking of this, she blamed herself even more. She quickly sent a message to Layla. "Sorry for the trouble, Layla."
