The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 643

"Who is she?" I asked immediately, genuinely intrigued.

I really did want to know. Leon had been incredibly busy the past couple of days, ghosting my messages entirely. I had assumed he was just swamped because the neurosurgery department was down three people, but now I wasn't so sure.

His sudden disappearance was definitely tied to this Bianca.

"Bianca is Bianca Whitlock, the heiress to the Whitlock family. The woman he was supposed to marry," Caspian said softly.

I froze, utterly stunned. "Wait, so..."

So Leon's relationship with this heiress was still very much active, considering how desperately he was trying to console her just now.

"Selena, initially I thought we were all competing fairly, and I didn't want to stoop to throwing anyone under the bus. But given how things are playing out, I think you deserve to know the truth," Caspian continued.

I looked at him, feeling a sudden twist of unease. "What truth?"

Something uncomfortable began to churn in my chest.

"That soup Leon brought you for Tiffany? The one he swore his mother made from scratch?" Caspian's voice was perfectly calm. "It was actually takeout from an upscale place called The Savory Bistro. Tiffany has always been a food snob, and she knows every high-end restaurant in Port Capital. She recognized the taste on the first bite."

"What?" It wasn't a world-ending revelation, but it still felt like a punch to the gut. I stared at him in disbelief.

Caspian didn't stop there. "And the engagement between the Lennox and Whitlock families was never called off. I only found out this morning. The two families have officially put the wedding back on the agenda."
