Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 293

Stepping out of the car, Leanne carried a sugar-free cheesecake she'd bought for Mary, standing to the side, polite and quiet, waiting.

Jake’s gaze shifted to the woman on the footpath not too far away, dressed in a cozy knitted sweater and a flowing skirt, exuding a gentle charm.

Then his eyes darted back to the man in the backseat.

Curtis, observing her through the one-way glass, raised an eyebrow in surprise, "She's waiting for me?"

Jake hesitated to jump to conclusions, "I... I guess so."

Leanne had been waiting for nearly five minutes before the car door lazily swung open, revealing long legs encased in dark trousers stepping out.

With the sound of his dress shoes hitting the ground, Curtis, in his crisp, distinguished suit, showcased his broad shoulders and narrow waist, his physique strikingly proportionate.

His jacket was unbuttoned, no tie in sight, as he flashed her a casual smile, "Look at you, all nice and waiting for me today."

Seeing his face, Leanne dropped the act of politeness she maintained in front of elders.

Ignoring him, she turned and walked away.

Curtis, catching up with his long strides, tried to figure her out from her cold demeanor.

She wasn’t waiting for him.

Just as he was about to speak, Leanne beat him to it, asking, “Is there something up with Caleb lately?”

He had been restraining himself, eager to talk to her but careful not to overstep; even retracting a social media like immediately after it was sent.

How was she still so perceptive?

Curtis played it cool, “What about him?”

“He’s been a bit odd.”

“In what way?”

“He’s been unusually polite to me.” Leanne chose her words carefully, not wanting to cause any misunderstandings that might affect Caleb's job, considering his dedication and diligence as an assistant.

“It’s good he’s polite,” Curtis commented with sincerity, “Just like me.”
