Landon’s expression was as cold as ice. “No, I just arrived early.”

George, casual as ever, leaned in. “I’m curious, Mr. Collins. What’s this all about?”

Landon’s response was sharp. “I want you to stop bothering my wife.”

George blinked, caught off guard by the bluntness. “Well, Mr. Collins, I’m not sure I understand what you mean.”

“Alright,” George admitted reluctantly. “I admit I wanted to see her. But I didn’t want her to notice me.”

He paused, frustration lining his features.

Sometimes, George couldn’t even explain his own actions. He just wanted to see her from a distance, that’s all.

But the thought of Landon treating her poorly? That was another matter entirely.

Landon gave him a chilly stare.

And you’re still claiming you’re not here to stir up trouble?
