Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 409

Lying on the rough frame of Curtis, Leanne knew it wasn't as comfy as a plush mattress, but she slept soundly for nearly three hours.

Waking up, she instinctively stretched, feeling the grip around her waist tightened. "Awake?" Curtis asked, securing her in his embrace while his other hand held a tablet, browsing some venture capital projects.

Glancing at the clock, Leanne realized she had slept longer than expected while Curtis had held her the whole time.

"Aren't your arms sore? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"If I can't even hold you for a little while, how can I call myself your husband?" he chuckled, setting aside the tablet to pinch her reddened cheek softly. "Hungry? How about we get up and grab something to eat?"

Nodding, Leanne slipped off his lap, put on her shoes, and freshened up in the bathroom.

When she returned, Caleb had brought in their ordered lunch.

Lunch was a crispy chicken Caesar salad and a seafood risotto, aromatic and rich with flavors, topped with crunchy croutons, offering a delightful blend of textures.

As they raised the curtains, the afternoon sunlight poured in. Curtis had spent the morning with her, delaying a few things.

Leanne was enjoying her lavender honey-glazed carrots when she overheard the secretary updating Caleb that the project team was waiting in Conference Room 3.

Putting down his fork leisurely, Curtis said, "I've got a meeting to attend. Take your time eating. Wait here for me."

"Go ahead," Leanne replied, feeling refreshed after a good sleep. "I was thinking of visiting Violet this afternoon."

Curtis ruffled her hair. "Let Secretary Flora take you."

After leaving the office, Curtis adjusted his tie while instructing Caleb, "Cancel what you can from the end-of-month schedule and postpone the rest. I need two weeks free."
