Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 

Leanne stared into the void, and her mind went blank. 

What an odd thing to say. 

“You’re not hiding a baby in there, are you?” Curtis eyed her suspiciously, “You guard that place like Fort Knox, fearing I’ll catch a glimpse.” 

Leanne almost forgot she should ignore his nonsense and felt like calling him an idiot. 

She held her tongue, though, and gave him the silent treatment. 

Curtis wrapped his arms around her from behind, a sigh of resignation falling above her head. 

“If you won’t eat breakfast, can you at least talk to me?” 

As the elevator opened, Leanne pried his arms off her. “We can talk when you’re ready to discuss the divorce papers.” 

Curtis snorted, “Maybe I should just poison you and put us out of misery.” 

Seeing them exit, Jake hurried out of the car and opened the door with a respectful bow. Leanne marched past, hailing her cab and leaving without a backward glance. 

For several days, Curtis showed up at her doorstep, punctual as a clockwork. At first, Leanne wouldn’t open the door. Later, he got the hint and stopped knocking altogether. 

Leanne’s work hours were unpredictable, but Curtis’ Bentley was a constant fixture in front of the hospital. 

Sometimes, he worked in the car on his laptop. Other times, he took calls outside, his demeanor more stern and authoritative than usual, exuding a decisive aura.

But that didn’t mean she wanted anything to do with him. 

One day, still busy at work, she received his call. 

She picked up, and Curtis sounded occupied, his background filled with talk of private equity and stock options. 

He rattled off some instructions with rapid clarity, then turned to her with a patient tone, “Something’s come up. Can you wait for me?” 

He talked as if she had been waiting for him. 

“Why would I wait for you?” Leanne replied coldly, “I don’t need a lift from you.

Curtis asked, “Can’t you just sit in the car for a bit?” 

She retorted, “The only way I’m stepping in your car is to drive to the city hall for divorce papers,” and then coldly, she hung up. 

Curtis sat back on the plush leather sofa in his office, phone in hand, and clicked his 

tongue, “Ice queen.” 

The executives nearby exchanged glances but kept quiet. 

Curtis pocketed his phone and told Caleb, “Take Alan to Grechwond the day after tomorrow. You’re handling this takeover.” 

Caleb was stunned by the sudden responsibility. “Mr. Richardson, you mean I’m in charge?” 

Curtis flipped through the acquisition plan, making quick notes. “I’m tied up. No travel for me for a while.” 

“You always led these big international deals,” Caleb felt the weight on his shoulders, “If I
