Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 312

Leanne was nonchalant as she remarked, "Don't you need to visit your future father-in-law?"

"Did he tell you in a dream asking for me?"

The elevator was crowded, and others glanced over. Curtis, undeterred, teased about deceased Joseph with a flippant tone, "I just visited his grave for Memorial Day. How come he’s more clingy than you?"

Leanne bit her lip, irritated. "Shut up."

Curtis, sensing he had pushed her to the brink, surrendered with a smile, "Okay, I’ll zip it. Don’t be mad. Even that kid over there is watching you."

The child who had been sneaking peeks quickly turned away.

Exiting the building, the rain was relentless, casting a gloomy gray filter over the world, water pooling on the ground.

As Leanne stepped out, Curtis pulled her back gently, "Watch your step with that injury."

"I'm not made of glass, you know."

Pulling her hand from his, Leanne opened her umbrella and walked straight into the rain.

Standing outside the hospital, she waited several minutes for her ride. The driver called, stuck in traffic due to the rain, and canceled.

In just that short time, the slanting rain had soaked her pants.

The branches of the plane trees cracked under the onslaught of the rain, and a black Bentley sat quietly underneath.

Curtis emerged from the car, umbrella in hand, and walked towards her.

He covered her with his large umbrella, took hers, folded it, and grasped her wrist to lead her to the car.

"You can give me a cold shoulder in the car too. No need to punish yourself in this downpour."

Her logic was odd but persuasive.

Leanne, seeing her drenched pants, stopped resisting and let him lead her into the car.

Rain tapped rhythmically against the car window, leaving snaking trails on the glass.

The familiar and soothing scent of the car's fragrance filled the air.

Outside, the rain isolated them in a bubble of tranquility. Suddenly, Leanne asked, "Did you visit my parents’ graves on Memorial Day?"
