He Was Always Jealous Of Him

Lucas had forgotten about Samuel once the competition started. His initial surprise over meeting him again was taken by indifference. After all, it was better if he fully focused on the bake-off.

Lucas remembered that Samuel was defeated by his opponent, marking the end of his participation. That was the only thing he was aware about the latter.

Yet, this man dared to come forward and bring up the same slander as before?

In his silent wrath, Lucas felt a tug at his right sleeve. Recalling that Liliana was still with him, he lowered his eyes, meeting her confused gaze.

He quickly softened his enraged look. He didn't want to scare her.

"Lucas... do you know this man?"

Liliana sounded cautious, unlike how joyful she was before. Her eyes darted from Lucas to Samuel. It was obvious how bewildered she was with the latter's sudden appearance.
