A Cue for Love novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 He Is Taken

Shifting his gaze on the pair of hands that were grabbing tightly onto his arm, Samuel discreetly shrugged off Susan's hands.

Back then, he did not mind that she held his arm this way since he treated her as his sister, and more importantly, he did not have a beloved woman then.

But it was no longer the same now.

He was now taken.

He had to steer himself away from any ambiguous behaviors or situations.

In contrast, Susan was both shocked and upset by Samuel's action. But on second thought, she felt better after comforting herself that Samuel would soon see Natalie sleeping with another man.

And when that happened, she would stay by his side so that she could make the heartbroken man fall in love with her.

Shortly after, some people from the Leister family made their way over too.

There were Alfred, Wyatt, Joycelyn, and Phoebe's parents.

Contrary to the crowd, Alfred had humiliation written all over his face. He was furious to learn that such a disgraceful act had happened in the Leister family's territory.

“Hurry! Separate this scumbag and wench, Edwin!” Alfred was infuriated.

“Got it.”

Edwin went up to the couch and pulled the man and woman, who were both still in a groggy state, apart.

At one glance, Edwin immediately recognized that the woman was Phoebe. Puzzlement swamped him so much he stood frozen at the spot for a long time. Having served the Leister family for so many years, he could not bear to see them in embarrassment. He wanted to do what he could to protect Phoebe from everyone's view.

“Edwin, why are you standing there?” Alfred yelled.

“I-I...” Edwin could not bring himself to say anything.

“Move aside. I want to see for myself who these two imbeciles are!” Edwin's silence only made Alfred blow his top off.

Despite so, Edwin clenched his teeth tight and did not budge.

Noticing Edwin's reaction, Susan frowned. What on earth is he doing over there without moving?!

A vortex of anger swirled inside Alfred as Edwin still stood motionless, refusing to move at all.
