Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 174

"Samantha has no background or connections. She's nowhere near being a suitable match for someone from the Garrett family. Are you trying to disgrace us?

"Divorce her before this gets out of hand. Find a way to make it clean. I'll make sure she's compensated with enough money for a lifetime of comfort," Adrian mentioned.

Leonardo's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. His voice was calm as he countered, "Grandpa, don't you want to know how we met?"

"You—" Adrian's face turned crimson as he seared with fury. He swallowed his anger and quickly changed the subject. "This isn't about how you met. This is about your marriage. Don't give me that nonsense!"

There were too many people around. If the truth about the past got dragged into the open here, that would be a true embarrassment for the Garrett family.

Leonardo raised his cup and took a slow sip with an indifferent expression, but what he said next shook everyone.

"My life isn't yours to manage. If you insist that I divorce her… then I'll stay single for the rest of my life."

Adrian was so furious that his beard practically bristled. He would have flipped the entire table if there hadn't been guests present.

…

Meanwhile, Samantha was already at the pavilion.

They called it a pavilion, but it looked more like a glass observatory. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, the space was bathed in light and offered a panoramic view of the elegant gardens outside.

It felt surreal. It was like stepping into a dream or a delicate crystal snow globe. Inside, the stove's warmth spread throughout the room, keeping out even the harshest northern winds.

Laura guided them to their seats.
