Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 

“Yes, this is Keira. Who’s calling?” I asked, my eyes drifting back to Jace. 

He didn’t seem to notice me, heading over to a nearby heat on his own. 

“I’m from Amour Eternel Assurance, agent number A8338. Four years ago, you and Mr. Johnston purchased a love insurance policy from us. The policy term has expired, and we need to verify some information with you.” 

A chill ran down my spine. I glanced instinctively at Hayden. 

He had been holding me close, but the moment I took the call, he stepped back, giving me space. 

Hayden was always so considerate, always making sure I felt safe and supported, but never stifled. 

“Could you please confirm if you and Mr. Johnston are currently in a relationship or married?” the agent 

asked. 

My eyes flicked back to Jace. He was oi, own call, a deep frown creasing his forehead. 

“Ms. Kay, are you still there?” the agent pressed, probably wondering why I’d gone silent. 

I swallowed hard. “Yes, I’m here. We…” 

“We’ve already broken up.‘ I was just about to say it when Jace, who hadn’t even glanced at me this whole time, suddenly looked up and locked eyes with me. 

I didn’t have time to look away. 

We locked eyes across the room, and the words I was about to say got caught in my throat. 

“Ms. Kay?” the agent repeated. 

Without thinking, I blurted, “Why don’t you ask him?” 

“We did. Another colleague is speaking with him now. I realized Jace was getting the same call. 

Talk about a small world. 

I swallowed, trying to clear the dryness in my throat. “We broke up.” 

“Are you sure?” The question sounded almost accusatory. 

I glanced away from Jace and looked at Hayden, then down at the ring on my finger. “Yes. I’m already 

married.” 

The agent was silent for a couple of seconds. “Alright, Ms. Kay. If Mr. Johnston’s response matches yours, then, according to the policy terms, your love insurance will be invalidated.” 

“Okay!” I said, ready to end the call. 

But then he continued, “Ms. Kay, I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness in your marriage. You and your spouse might want to consider a marriage insurance policy. It’s available in one–year terms, and the longer your marriage lasts, the greater the benefits-” 

“Thanks, but we’re not interested,” I cut off his sales pitch.
