"No, Sam... don't say that to me."

"Gabriel, I don't hold any grudges or anything like that, but there will never be anything between us, and actually, after what just happened... I don't think we can even remain friends." "What? Why?"

"Because you're not here to be my friend. Besides, you scared my grandson not long ago."

"But about that kid... why do you care so much? I mean. he's not your blood,

and-"

"So what? I've been his grandmother since he was born, and you're in no position to judge me or tell me what I can or can't do."

"Sam..

"It's Samantha," she corrected him. "And you know, it hurts to replace out that you're the one harming my family... When I agreed to this lunch, it was to ask you: why are you doing this?" "Wait, Samantha, don't say or do something you'll regret."

"I don't regret anything because I'm going to defend my family with everything I have," she said, looking him in the eyes. "So, I hope you stop bothering my family or face the consequences," she said, standing up

and taking some money out of her wallet to leave on the table. "Well, I'm leaving. Goodbye."

"See you later, ma'am," the waiter said as he took away the glass and money from the table. "Sir, would you like anything else?"

"Samantha," Gabriel called out, standing up quickly, but then he saw her stop at the table behind them.

"Now all three of you, come over here-you're in trouble," Samantha said. "And yes, that includes you, Max.

"Ma'am?"

"Mom..."

"Darling..."

"Come on, now take me home because I want to have lunch with my grandchildren," she said, taking Eric's hand and leading them all out of the restaurant without looking back.

Eric was astonished, but a soft smile spread across his lips as he intertwined his hand with hers, letting himself be led by her.

Gabriel felt devastated... she had left him.

With that realization, he fell to his knees, feeling like the most miserable man in the world,

Curiously, Jamie had also been sitting at a nearby table, listening to everything. When he saw the Coopers leave, he approached his boss and offered him a handkerchief. Gabriel looked up and saw his assistant. "Don't you dare say anything," he said angrily, standing up and taking the handkerchief to wipe his tears.

"Well, I guess this could've gone worse," Jamie commented as he sat down and glanced over at the waiter. "Excuse me, could you bring us two glasses of lemonade, please?" "Right away," replied the walter, turning to get the order

"How can you say this was better? She rejected me!"

"It's not the first time."

"Yes... but..."

"That's why I told you you were living in a fantasy. You left her, and as you heard... despite everything, she waited for you, but you didn't have the guts to fight for her love"

"Oh, sir, stop torturing yourself like this. How about you let go of the past and live your life instead?"

"I don't know how."

"Well, as your assistant, I can set you up on some dates with lovely ladies your age. I think all this happened because you're lonely. Or, I don't know... maybe you'd like to take a big step and consider adopting a child or sponsoring a talented young person." "Ah... I don't know."

"Well, at least be grateful that you're in one piece and that you two only talked."

"Why do you say that?"

"Out of those three, one had a gun ready for emergencies."

Gabriel was startled by that revelation.

"You know, sir, if this hurts you so much, let's do things the right way. You should apologize to Eric Cooper and his family for attacking them without any reason. Let's forget this whole Gate Construction thing and go back to our city."

Gabriel looked worriedly at the young man before grimacing.

"I think that would be best..."

"Gentlemen," the waiter said as he arrived with their drinks. "Jamie..."

"Yes?"

"Thanks for putting up with this stubborn old man.".

"You're welcome. Now, how about you eat something? Skipping meals at your age isn't a good idea," Jamie said, picking up the menu, which made the older man laugh. Chapter 320
