Looking at her indifferent expression, Leona Grant felt an unprecedented wave of frustration wash over him.
Leona Grant shut his eyes tightly. The knot of frustration in his chest wouldn't loosen, so he let out a long sigh. "Annabelle, a businessman who has famously avoided women for years doesn't just approach someone for no reason. He must have a motive. He's only getting close to you for his own purposes.
I've seen too many men like him. I don't want you to become his pawn, only to be cast aside later. Don't make an irreversible mistake on a whim. Even if there are no feelings between us, we've known each other for more than twenty years, and we were married. I'd warn a complete stranger about this. So, I want you to stay far away from him."
