The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 606

Even Yvonne could tell something was off between Callahan and Leilani.

One day, Yvonne was about to head out for lunch with Leilani. Linking her arm through Leilani's, she was chattering excitedly about the amusing things she'd encountered that week. Leilani just listened quietly, offering a nod or two from time to time.

When the elevator doors slid open, Yvonne's voice died in her throat.

Callahan was standing inside, his suit jacket draped over one arm, his shirt cuffs rolled up slightly to reveal strong forearms. He lifted his gaze, his eyes sweeping coolly over them before pausing on Leilani's face for a second, then quickly looking away.

Yvonne instinctively broke into a smile, about to raise her hand to greet him. "Mr. Langley. Good after—"

Before she could finish, Yvonne felt Leilani's arm, which she was holding, stiffen. The atmosphere turned strangely awkward.

Having lived at Leilani's for so long, this wasn't the first time Yvonne had run into Callahan in the elevator with her. But their previous encounters had never felt like this.

Alarm bells went off in Yvonne's head. Her hand froze awkwardly in mid-air as her eyes darted between the two of them.

With a blank expression, Leilani pulled Yvonne into the elevator and chose a corner farthest from Callahan, acting as if he were thin air. Callahan, for his part, was no different. He seemed to not see them at all, looking down at his phone and scrolling through the screen as if it were none of his business.

The air instantly froze.

At this point, even without asking, Yvonne could see with her own eyes that the two had been fighting. She silently lowered her hand and let out a dry laugh. "The elevator sure came quickly today, huh."

No one responded.
