Chapter 179
"Now that I think about it, you mentioned you owed my wife a favor. Would today be the day I finally hear that story?"
Leroy casually asked, leaning back against his chair.
Though his tone seemed nonchalant, Leroy’s attention was fully focused on Fin. Leroy had always felt a subtle sense of caution around this stranger, who seemed to have grown close to his wife.
"Is this not something you can talk about here?"
Leroy, with a teasing smile, pointed out Fin's delayed response.
Although the aide from Viscount Ida remained in the room, if, as Iona had mentioned, the story wasn’t a significant one, there was no real reason to choose a more private setting.
In essence, this was a simple test.
With a smile, Leroy waited for Fin’s reaction.
One might have expected Fin to be flustered by Leroy's playful interrogation, but he remained composed.
