The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 662

Caspian arrived at the perfect time, saving me the trouble of explaining.

But Leon's reaction took me entirely by surprise. His brows knit tightly together, his eyes locking onto Caspian's face. His slightly plump cheeks were washed with sheer shock and disbelief.

He vehemently denied it. "Impossible! Stop talking nonsense, Caspian! That is absolutely impossible!"

"Dr. Lennox, did you really not know?" Amber asked in astonishment, then cast a doubtful look at Caspian. "Dr. Cross, could you have made a mistake? Dr. Lennox seems completely in the dark about this."

Leon's reaction was indeed strange, as if he had just learned about his own engagement. His behavior didn't seem faked, which filled me with doubt. Was it possible he truly didn't know he was supposed to marry Bianca?

But he was the one getting married. How could he not know?

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, all Mr. Lennox has to do is verify it with Mrs. Lennox, isn't it? Besides, Dr. Lennox was so busy rushing off for a date with Miss Whitlock last night, how could you not know that you two are about to get engaged?" Caspian curled his lips into a smirk, his narrow, predatory eyes curving downward as his gaze turned profoundly deep.

My heart gave another slight jolt as I recalled the anxious yet gentle and patient way Leon had coaxed Bianca over the phone the night before.

He had called her "Nana" with every other breath, his voice dripping with worry and indulgence. It was obvious they had an incredibly close and intimately tied relationship.

Under those circumstances, could he really be entirely clueless about his own marriage?

Leon's face drained of color, his jaw clenched tight. The elevator arrived, but instead of stepping inside, he walked straight away. As he left, I saw him pull out his phone, seemingly to make a call.
