Chapter 161: Uncovering Family History

LIANA

I stood there, stunned by Leonel's admission. "What? You intentionally booked the same hotel as me?"

Leonel shook his head quickly, his expression earnest. "No, no, this one is a real coincidence. I meant the restaurant and café."

"How did you even find out?" I asked, trying to process his words.

He sighed, looking slightly sheepish. "I wanted to meet Zaylen that day at the office, but I couldn't gather the courage. On his way out of the office, I overheard him talking about his plans to someone. He mentioned to someone that he wanted to bring someone named Liana to this restaurant and then to the café."

My mind reeled with this new information. "So you actually wanted to meet Zaylen, to begin with?" I asked incredulously, still trying to piece together the implications of his confession.

I listened intently as Leonel continued to explain. "Yes, I did want to meet Zaylen. But then he canceled on your plan. After that, I stopped expecting it and was just casually talking to you.
