The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Maloney, youre here for dinner too? Maloney was taken aback by Leifs battered appearance.

Though he had braced himself, the sight still shocked him.

He pointed at Leifs face and asked, Did Hannah really do this to you? At the mention of her name, Leif winced and covered his face with his hands, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes.

I deserved it.

Its not Miss Moores fault.

Ha ha.

Maloney chuckled.

Are you serious? She beats you up, and youre still defending her? What was Leif supposed to do? Complain and get beaten up again? Leif shuddered at the thought.

It was my fault, not Miss Moores.

Maloney, please dont laugh at me.

Maloney sighed, shaking his head.

Just dont provoke her in the future, alright? Leif nodded quickly.

I know.

I wont bother Miss Moore again! Satisfied that Leif had learned his lesson, Maloney waved him off.

Alright, lets eat.

But he couldnt suppress the urge to laugh at Leifs pitiful expression.

So, I took the liberty of bringing it myself.

His eyes shifted toward the laptop in front of Hannah, and he asked, Are you busy? Hannah looked down at her screen and nodded.

Yes, Im working on a design.

A design? Remington probed further and leaned closer to examine her computer screen, which displayed an intricate necklace pattern, possibly intended for a wedding.

His gaze sharpened, and he remarked in a casual tone, Thats quite a stunning piece.

Hannah reclined in her chair, took a bite of her steak, and replied, Yes, its one of the most satisfying designs Ive created recently.
