The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 408

As soon as Leilani hung up, footsteps approached her door.

It was Abel, who had left earlier but had returned for some reason. He leaned against the doorframe, holding a bag of fruit, a teasing smile on his face. "Dr. Sloan, were you talking to your boyfriend just now?"

Leilani glanced at him. Her gaze was calm, yet it made Abel sense a vague danger.

"Were you eavesdropping on my call?"

"Hey, I wasn't eavesdropping!" Abel waved his hands hurriedly, looking innocent. "I just happened to buy a bag of fruit downstairs and wanted to come up and ask if you wanted some. I accidentally heard you talking to your boyfriend. I didn't mean to listen!"

He wouldn't stoop to eavesdropping. It was just a coincidence.

Abel leaned in closer, grinning as he gossiped. "Dr. Sloan, I didn't expect it. You look so cold and aloof, but when you talk to your boyfriend, you're so sweet? So gentle?"

Leilani shoved her phone into her pocket, her expression expressionless. "You heard wrong."

Abel blinked, putting on an 'I understand' face. "Right, right, I heard wrong!"

He wisely didn't press the issue and placed the bag of fruit on the table. "Here, fruit for you. Willa downstairs sells them; they're really sweet!"

Leilani looked at the apples and oranges in the bag and said simply, "Thanks."

Abel scratched his head and chuckled. "So... I'll come pick you up at nine tomorrow morning to go to Payton's?"

Leilani nodded. "Okay."
