Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 280

Leonardo cast a glance at the empty seat beside him. The hint couldn't have been more obvious.

Samantha felt torn. It would've been rude to reject Elena's kind gesture, but she didn't want to upset him, either.

Then again… their marriage was still a secret. If she just walked over and sat beside him in front of everyone, wouldn't that blow their cover?

She hesitated, caught in the middle.

Leonardo's gaze didn't leave her. His lips parted—and what he said next shattered any illusion of secrecy. "Sweetheart, aren't you going to sit over here?"

Elena blinked. "Your wife is here too?"

She looked around in confusion, clearly trying to figure out where Leonardo's mysterious wife was hiding.

After all, ever since the news broke that Leonardo was married, there hadn't been a single clue about his partner. Not even a photo had been released till now.

"She's sitting right in front of you."

Samantha was speechless. Didn't they promise to keep their marriage a secret? Had he completely forgotten?

Since Leonardo had already ripped the curtain down, Samantha saw no point in pretending anymore. She sighed inwardly, stood up, and walked to the seat beside him, offering Elena an apologetic smile.

"Sorry… I think I'll sit here instead."

And just like that, everything clicked for Elena. Samantha was Leonardo's wife?

As far as she knew, Samantha was just an ordinary person, yet they were not only dating but were also married?

For someone like Leonardo—a member of one of the most powerful families around—this felt like open defiance.

But then again, "defiance" wasn't the right word for him. He didn't seem like the kind of man who ever let anyone dictate his life.

Choosing his own partner, regardless of status? That was bold.

"Ah… I see now. Makes sense," Elena murmured.

Samantha glanced at the seat next to her, and Wesley caught the cue instantly. "Alright, I'll move," he said.
