Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 495

“Miss Renata, your ideas are certainly… unique. But I’m just a chef who runs a restaurant. It’s not quite the same as the corporate ‘power couple’ you’re describing.

Besides, with the new branch of The Tasting Room, I don’t have the time or the energy to invest in a relationship right now. You’re such an exceptional person, you should find someone who is equally exceptional. We’re not a good fit.”

West’s words shattered Leda’s beautiful dream.

Rejected so coldly by West, the smile on Leda’s face froze.

She hadn’t expected him to be so unappreciative.

Before coming here, she had done a thorough background check on him. His family background wasn’t great, he had many siblings, and he was from the countryside. By all accounts, his circumstances were quite poor.

Five years ago, she wouldn’t have even given a man with his profile a second glance.

Although The Tasting Room was successful and brought in some money each month, such a large family meant future relationships with a mother-in-law and sisters-in-law would be a headache.

But she couldn't help liking him.

Ever since the incident with The Tasting Room, Leda had been taken with this handsome and resilient man.

The one thing she didn’t lack was money.

The Holt family needed money? She could provide it.

But West’s words… seemed to have another layer of meaning.

Was he feeling insecure in her presence? Did he feel he wasn't good enough for her?

Yes, that must be it. After all, West was just a chef. Compared to her, a company owner, he couldn't compete in any aspect.

Men. They all wanted women to look up to them; they didn't like women who were stronger than them.
