Goodbye, My Mate

Chapter 61

Ch. 61 / 291 Aug 06, 2025

Leah's POV

As Finn stood in front of the mirror, I adjusted his tie and straightened his collar.

It was Lucian's suit. Like most of its clothes, he wore it only once and hung it up in his closet, which took up the entire floor of his house. The fabric of this suit was of the highest quality and the suit had been tailored to my brother's exact measurement, enhancing his broad shoulders and sculpted chest.

This expensive suit fitted Finn perfectly everywhere except the chest area. I could clearly see his muscular chest bulging up underneath the jacket.

Aha, I knew he was a bit stronger than my brother on that part. I thought to myself while running my hands over the fabric, admiring the way it draped over his frame.

Finn looked a bit uncomfortable wearing my brother's suit, but he didn't complain. He just stood there and let me dress him up like a Ken doll.

I looked at his image in the mirror. He looked curiously at the wolf pattern on the buttons of the suit jacket, which were made of pure gleaming gold. That pattern was the symbol of the Lycan House and only members of the Lycan family were allowed to wear it.

"I'm sorry that I don't have time to prepare a new suit for you. But the good news is, my Father's tailor is coming to do measurements for us after the show," I said.

Finn nodded and stepped into the leather boots. I checked his appearance one final time in the mirror.

My Goddess, he looked handsome.

His hair was styled to perfection, and his chiseled jawline was clean-shaven. I couldn't take my eyes off him. His confidence and charm were literally radiating from him.

It seems that a suit can really change a man. I thought to myself. No wonder my Father used to say that it's very important for a man to choose the right suit because it's the modern version of the armour.

"That suit looks very familiar." I heard Lucian's voice from behind.

I turned around and saw my brother standing at the door, tilting his head toward me.

I quickly ran toward him and held him in my arms.

"Can Finn borrow your suit for tonight? I really want to take him to the show," I said. "Look how sleek he looks in your suit! I would be really happy if he could come with us!"

Finn looked nervous and bowed.

"Your Highness. Mr. Cleary." He greeted my brother and Jain in a humble voice.

My brother ignored him and walked toward me.

"I'm just coming to tell you that I have other engagements tonight. I can't make it to the show. Finn can go to the show with you, but Troy and his men will have to follow you everywhere and you will come back home as soon as the show's over. Laflamme will do measurements for you at my place."

"Thank you, brother! You're the best!" I jumped up and down while flapping my hands like a little bird.

Lucian took a glance at Finn and said, "You are not allowed to leave Leah's sight. You are not allowed to talk to anyone without Leah's permission. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Finn replied in a trembling voice.

"Brother, you're scaring him," I pouted and wrapped my hands around Finn's arm.

Finn leaned against me and I could tell that his body was shivering.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing, and he'd better be afraid," Lucian said. "Be grateful that I didn't ask Troy to put a leash on him."

"Brother, don't you have something very urgent to do?" I frowned, trying to push him out of the door with both my hands and my head.

But Lucian stood there like a statue and didn't move. He turned his head toward Jalin and asked, "Where is Troy, by the way? I haven't seen him all day."

Jalin took out his phone and said, "Today is supposed to be his off. I'll call him again."

Just as he was about to dial the number, Troy appeared at the door, with his head wrapped in a bandage.

I gasped, ran toward him, and asked, "Troy, what happened?!"

Troy looked at me and said with a faint smile on his face, "Miss Leah, don't worry. I'm fine. I accidentally fell and hit my head. There's absolutely nothing to worry about."

I looked at the bruise on his handsome face and said, "Troy, if you really don't want me to feel nervous, you should tell me the truth. What really happened?"

Troy took a glance at Lucian and Jalin. Then, he sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Leah. I might have accidentally crashed your Ferarri into a tree."

"You crashed that 60-million-dollar Ferarri?! Please don't tell me that you crashed that Ferarri!" Jalin yelled at Troy with horror.

Troy covered his ear and said, "OK, now my eardrum is broken."

"OK, Jalin. There's really no need for the third degree. Troy has just survived a car crash. We should be happy for him because he's still alive!" I held Troy in my arms, trying to protect him from Jalin.

"What's going on?" Lucian approached us and asked.

I explained, "I exchanged cars with Troy this morning to go to work. I didn't want to attract too much attention on my first day of work."

"So Troy was driving your car and now the car is crashed?" Lucian frowned. I could detect the suspicion in his tone.

Troy immediately straightened up and apologized, "I'm so sorry Your Highness. I will do everything to pay for the repair of the car."

"It's 60 million dollars, Troy!" Jalin barked at Troy.

"Come on, Jalin. It's just 60 million dollars. Don't be so cheap. Look at him. He's obviously miserable," Lucian said.

"I'm not being cheap. I'm just trying to hold Troy accountable for what he's done. He can't just joyride in a 60-million-dollar Ferarri, crash it into a tree, and get away with it!"

"I'll give you 60 million dollars right now if you stop shouting at that poor soul," Lucian said.

"Don't try to buy me! We talked about this!" Jalin said indignantly.

"I don't need to buy you. I own you, Jalin," My brother said in a cool, calm voice. "Now I'm going to ask Troy some questions and I really prefer that we have a conversation without being interrupted."

Jalin gave Troy a dark look and said, "This is me, shutting up. But this isn't over."

Troy looked annoyed and ashamed, rubbing his nose and mumbling, "I wasn't joyriding, I swear. I was just cruising around, hitting on girls. I stopped at the gas station and there was a really hot chick. She was wearing a tight skirt and she was standing there so beautifully, so I decided to roll down the window and chatted with her."

"And then what happened?" my brother asked.
