Chapter 30 Misunderstanding

• Leonardo was startled as Evelyn's unexpected action caught him off-guard. Why did he allow himself to trust her again? He berated himself for letting his guard down so easily.
• "What are you doing, Evelyn Anderson?" Leonardo's voice trembled with a mix of anger and disappointment. "You said you wanted to talk. I should have known that you wouldn't change your old tactics."
• With a swift motion, he peeled her hands off his neck and forcefully threw them away, the movement carrying a hint of frustration and resentment.
