The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 340

"Yeah, that's right. I'm jealous. I just didn't want to see you sitting with Milford."

Leilani’s heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if she was looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, but she actually found Callahan’s jealousy and pettiness... a little cute?

Seeing him like this, she couldn't resist teasing him further. "So, next time I discuss business with someone, do I have to report to you in advance?"

Callahan’s eyes darkened. He suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear. "If you don't find it troublesome, I would certainly appreciate that."

His warm breath brushed against her ear. Leilani’s ears burned, and she instantly shut her mouth.

The rain had lightened as they spoke, but the chill in the air remained.

Milford stood at the entrance of the café, watching Callahan lead Leilani toward the black Maybach. The man’s tall back was as straight as a pine, his every move exuding the power and composure of someone in charge.

Milford felt a tightness in his chest and chased after them as if possessed.

"Mr. Langley."

His voice sounded abrupt in the rain.

Callahan paused and turned slowly, his eyes as dark as ink, bottomless.

Leilani also looked back, frowning slightly.

Milford took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and looked straight at Callahan. "Can I have a word with you alone?"

The air instantly stagnated.

Callahan’s eyes dimmed. He didn't speak, but the fingers on Leilani’s shoulder tightened slightly.

Sensing his displeasure, Leilani gently patted the back of his hand. "I'll wait for you in the car."
