Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back (Leanne Castillo) novel Chapter 322

Until Curtis wrapped his arms around her and escorted her out of the hospital room, Leanne hadn't seen where Suzan was injured.

Curtis helped her into the car and noticed she was still distracted. "Shaken up?" he asked.

Leanne snapped back to reality. "I didn't even see what happened, how could I be shaken?"

Curtis raised an eyebrow. "From the sound of it, you seem almost disappointed?"

Disappointed wasn't quite the word, but when Curtis pulled her into his embrace, covering her ears, the sound of her heartbeat amplified.

Leanne changed the subject. "You were pretty assertive today. Aren't you worried about offending the Wright family?"

"If they're offended, so be it," Curtis replied nonchalantly, a hint of recklessness in his tone. "I don’t care."

Curtis never really put anyone on a pedestal.

"In this world, there's only one person I fear offending," he said with a half-smile. "Guess who?"

Leanne, as if she had a signal jammer installed, deflected his flirtation. "Probably Jake, right?"

Curtis chuckled slowly. "Yes, if I offend him, then he might drive me off a cliff."

Jake, caught between innocence and resignation, said, "I would never, sir."

Leanne's phone rang. It was Selina, bursting with news as soon as Leanne picked up. "Leanne, you won't believe it, I totally rocked today, nailed three business deals in one go!"

"That's impressive," Leanne complimented, "Congrats on advancing three steps in your career."

"Thanks, let's celebrate tonight. I'm treating! Joy just got off work and she’ll be joining us."

"These past few days have been like living in a movie. They’ll probably love to hear about it."

"Just send me the address of the diner," said Leanne.
