Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 282

Wesley grumbled, "But I said it first."

Elena retorted, "Love doesn't follow the rules of who came first, and neither does signing talent."

Their alliance was so fragile that it collapsed like a sand castle.

After the dinner, Wesley had to head out because a woman had called him.

Layla planned to take a cab home, but Ethan insisted on driving her, so they left together. "I'll pick up the tab."

Leonardo also stood up. "Alright, everyone. Time to head home early."

If there was anyone who wanted to head home earlier, it was him. He couldn't wait to make it home to satiate his hunger. Of course, in this context, the word had a totally different meaning, and it needed no explanation for those in the know.

Elena's phone buzzed suddenly. Her face paled, fingers trembling as she hesitated to answer the call. She had been pretty bold since Samantha first met her, so her reaction now came as a surprise.

"Are you alright, Elena?" Samantha asked.

"I'm fine," Elena responded with a wry smile, looking at the others apologetically. "Keep quiet for a minute, and just play along."

After everyone nodded, Elena picked up the call. "Hi, Dad."

A deep voice came through the phone, sounding firm and solemn. "Aren't you supposed to meet Mr. Stewart tonight? Did you show up?"

The moment Elena looked down, her eyes were filled with tears. "I was there, Dad."

Paul replied, "Did you? I had someone watching you, but they didn't see you at all."

Her eyelashes fluttered. Tears streamed down her cheek as she choked out a reply, "I'm sorry, Dad. It was my fault. I went to the place, but when I saw Mr. Stewart wasn't there, I felt too embarrassed and didn't head inside.
