Chapter 83
The ring was a match to his own, and Curtis approached the table to pick it up
Leanne’s fingers were slender, her wedding band tailored to fit. She had worn it out the door just yesterday
Through the years, no matter the quarrels or the silent treatments, she never once removed that ring. Had she really left?
Curtis turned the villa upside down. Leanne hadn’t taken much. Each season, the top brands showered her with the latest collections, but she hadn’t taken a single designer purse or piece of jewelry.
After pacing the house a few times, Curtis returned to the dining room.
The dishes on the table seemed rather humble compared to Laura’s culinary skills, clearly not up to her standard
Had Leanne made this?
Even though they’d gone cold, losing some of their vibrant colors, they still looked quite appetizing. Her cooking skills appeared to have improved a lot.
Leanne was truly gone without leaving him a single word.
Joy had been trying to reach Leanne all night too.
That afternoon, Leanne had mentioned she was going to have a talk with Curtis. Joy had. checked in once to see how it was going, only to be told he hadn’t come home yet.
By ten o’clock, when Joy tried to follow up, she couldn’t get through anymore.
Pondering whether Leanne had finally decided to divorce Curtis and needed some quiet time, Joy held off for the night, planning to reach out the next day. But when she tried to call, Leanne’s phone was off!
Joy had just settled into her office cubicle with a coffee, opened a document, and typed “Project Proposal” when she heard the mechanical voicemail tone. She shot up from her
chair.
The sound of the chair scraping the floor was sharp and piercing, startling everyone in the office. Joy didn’t even bother to steady her spilled coffee as she bolted out the door..
“Holy moly! Did you gulp down poison or something? Chill out, you scared the daylights
out of me!”
“Where’s she running off to? Is there an earthquake?”
“I didn’t feel anything. Did you guys?”
