Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 292

Spring was in full bloom, with the scent of flowers growing more intense each day, and daylight stretching longer into the evenings.

Leanne clocked out early, and Joy and Selina were once again crashing at her place for dinner.

Joy arrived with a heavy nasal voice, immediately looking for a thermometer: “Let’s see if my fever’s gone down.”

Leanne saw her grabbing the ear thermometer and was about to stop her, but Joy had already taken her temperature.

“Holy mackerel! 108 degrees! Am I gonna kick the bucket?”

Leanne quickly took the thermometer, replacing it with a new one she’d purchased, “This one’s busted.”

After retaking her temperature, it read 101.3 degrees. Joy clutched her chest, shaken: “What the heck is up with this thermometer? Almost gave me a heart attack.”

“She’s got the flu, too,” Selina sighed, shaking her head. “The three musketeers of Stonebridge, all down for the count.”

“Did I get you sick?” Guilt washed over Leanne.

Joy was evasive, avoiding eye contact. “I’m fine…”

Leanne understood.

Selina, still batting her mascara-thick lashes, got distracted by a pastry Leanne handed her: “Drop it, let’s just eat.”

After dinner, Leanne settled on the sofa to skim through some newly published academic papers. Joy, feeling under the weather, groaned while resting on her leg, and Selina was busy stirring up chats on various social media groups.

Suddenly, Selina frowned, “What’s this?”

“What happened?” Leanne asked.

Selina passed her phone over. “This news piece my friend shared. The Richardson and the Wright families were seen dining at the Fulton Mansion, talking marriage deals.”

Joy's head jerked up. "What?!"

What was being passed as news was actually tabloid gossip. Somehow, paparazzi had snapped photos from an angle that caught everyone off guard.

In the luxury dining room, Suzan and her parents were clearly visible, while from the Richardson side, only Jennifer appeared in the shot.
