Rolin's friends looked startled as Leo pulled me away and nudged Rolin back into his seat . " Whoa , man ! What's your problem ? We were just talking ! " Rolin's friends immediately closed in , looking ready to jump in . I shot Rolín a pleading look , and he quickly stepped in , waving everyone off . " Chill , guys . We're all friends here . No need for drama . " Leo's anger simmered beneath the surface , though I couldn't figure out why . " So , this is Leo ? " Rolin broke the tension first . " Nice to meet you , I'm Rolin . Elizabeth and I were college buddies . " Leo gave a stiff nod , extending his hand more out of formality than goodwill . Rolin caught my eye , noticing how tense I was in Leo's grip . He went on , " Sorry about earlier . I've been out of the country for a while , so I'm still adjusting . Didn't mean anything by it ." " Are you Elizabeth's husband now ? " Leo's expression hardened . " We have a personal matter to discuss , " he said icily . Without another word , he dragged me toward the door . I called out to Rolin , " Can you help me with Emma ? " Leo's grip tightened , but I ignored him .
