The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 339

Richard quickly pulled to the curb. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Callahan pushed the door open, stepped out with his long legs, and walked straight toward the café.

...

Inside the café.

Leilani was looking coldly at Milford, preparing to leave, when she suddenly felt a shadow loom over her. She turned her head instinctively.

She saw Callahan’s tall figure standing behind her, his eyes dark and unreadable.

"Callahan?" She paused, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Callahan didn't answer. His gaze swept indifferently over Milford across the table, his voice low. "What are you looking for Leilani for? Did you think bullying her at the wedding wasn't enough?"

Swept by his cold gaze, Milford’s back instantly stiffened, and his fingers unconsciously tightened around his coffee cup. The man’s presence was overpowering.

Sensing the tension, Leilani explained to Callahan. "He came to ask me about Yvonne. But we're done talking. I was just about to leave when you showed up."

Having explained things to Callahan, Leilani looked at Milford, her tone indifferent. "I've said all I need to say. You're on your own."

With that, she turned to leave.

Sometimes, the battle between men didn't require fists; a single look could convey everything.

As the two reached the door, Callahan suddenly reached out and grabbed Leilani’s wrist. His grip wasn't painful, but it was firm enough to prevent escape.

"The rain is heavy. Don't catch a cold."

His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying an undeniable dominance.

And this was the first time Callahan had displayed such intimacy with her in front of others. Leilani didn't believe for a second that he didn't have an agenda.

She didn't say that part out loud, though. Sometimes it was better to leave things unsaid. She worried that pointing it out too bluntly might make him angry out of embarrassment.

Callahan was silent for a moment before finally whispering, "I was coming back from the office. Richard drove by and saw you sitting there with Milford... so I got out to find you."

In truth, he just didn't want to see Leilani sitting alone with Milford.

Leilani couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Langley, even though you won't admit it, the scent of jealousy is thick in the air."

Callahan looked down at her, a trace of resignation in his eyes. He could see that Leilani wasn't angry about his actions; she was mostly teasing him.

Since that was the case, there was no point in hiding it. Callahan decided to admit it frankly.
