Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 529

Sitting beside Lindsey, Leonel offered a reassuring smile.

“I told you.

You will know my name sooner or later.

”

“Professor…” Lindsey suddenly hesitated, unsure of what to call him.

“Just call me by my name.

” he offered, stretching out his hand to gently ruffle Lindsey’s hair.

It was a gesture he’d employed when she was a child, and back then, Lindsey would trail after him everywhere.

After a pause, Lindsey’s voice emerged, distant yet yielding.

“Leonel.

”

Leonel smiled tenderly, while Juanita observed with satisfaction.

“Linds, I’ve heard about what happened to you recently.

I’ll be staying for a while.

If you encounter any problems, feel free to let me know,” Leonel assured her.

Lindsey nodded silently.

“Juanita, why hasn’t he come yet?” Ruby interjected, shifting the conversation.

Juanita glanced at her wrist, checking the time.

“He should be here soon.

”

Who would be coming? Lindsey wondered.

As she pondered, the door to the private room swung open.

“Ms.

Lopez, I apologize for my tardiness.

There’s quite a traffic snarl on the road.

I am sincerely sorry,” the man uttered politely and with a gentle demeanor.

Lindsey lifted her head towards the door and noticed Sumner standing there clad in a light-colored T-shirt.

When their gazes met, both were taken aback.

“Here you are, Sumner!” As soon as Juanita caught sight of Sumner, she rose and extended a warm welcome to him.

“Let me introduce everyone here to you.

”

Juanita clasped Sumner’s wrist, embarking on the introductions.

“This is Ruby Garcia.

”

Sumner nodded at Ruby with a genial smile and greeted her warmly, “Nice to meet you, Ms.

Garcia.

”

Sumner drew a faint narrowing of Ruby’s eyes.

He bore a striking resemblance to her beloved student, and she found herself instantly fond of him.

“I won’t introduce this one to you; you already know him.

”

Even though Juanita skipped over Leonel, Sumner politely acknowledged him, “Leonel.

”

Leonel reciprocated with a nod and a smile.
