Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 71

“I do love Curtis and cherish what we have,” Suzan said firmly, “I’ll wait until you two are officially divorced before I start a proper relationship with him.”

Amy y was stunned by the sheer audacity of the moment, her eyes darting back and forth between the two like a spectator at a tennis match.

Holy, what the nerve of some mistresses! She even marched right up to Leanne to declare their undying love. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Leanne had zero patience for Suzan’s sappy tale of romance with Curtis.

“Well spoken,” Leanne nodded with the enthusiasm of a customer service rep reading from a script. “I’ll take care of the paperwork as soon as I can. Please be patient.”

Without another word, Leanne spun on her heel and strode away, with Amy scurrying after her.

“Is your hubby named Curtis? Not the Curtis I’m thinking of, right?”

Good grief, could her unassuming colleague be married into some kind of dynasty?

It was only then that Leanne remembered Amy was still at her side. If this conversation leaked, she could kiss her job at the hospital goodbye.

Thankfully, Amy was one to keep secrets.

“I’ll buy you a coffee if you keep this under wraps, okay?”

“Dr. Castillo,” Amy said with mock indignation, Do you think I can be bought with just a coffee? Throw in a couple packs of chocolates and we’ll talk.”

Leanne hadn’t expected Amy to be so easily persuaded, “Deal.”

They had reached the clinic’s entrance when someone called out from behind, “Anne!”

Leanne instinctively looked back.

A woman, her belly slightly swollen, had rushed up to Suzan’s side. “I’ve been looking for you, Anne.”

Frozen in place, Leanne asked Suzan, “She called you Anne?”

Suzan, momentarily distracted from her conversation, turned, “Yeah. Anne’s my nickname, short for Suzanne Wright. My granddad didn’t like it, so they changed it to Suzan, but my family still calls me Anne.”

Then, seemingly as an afterthought, Suzan added, “Your nickname’s Anne too, isn’t it? See, we have more in common than we thought.”

Leanne stood still unable to express the storm of emotions within her. For a long while

her mind was like an empty cave, echoing only with deep anguish.

“Dr. Castillo?”

It took several calls from Amy to bring Leanne back to reality, “Let’s go.”

Leanne walked as if in a daze, almost bumping into the glass door before Amy’s quick reflexes saved her.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Once outside, Leanne said, “Amy, I’m not up for lunch.”

Her haunted demeanor made it clear she had lost her appetite for any trendy eateries. Amy quickly agreed, “We can always hit the restaurant another time. Are you sure you’re okay on I could drive you home.”

Town?

Leanne felt a tightness in her chest, an emptiness that seemed to be both suffocating and hollow. She waved her off and walked away aimlessly.

Amy watched her go, concern etched on her face.

The vibe at ElitePinnacle had been less than stellar since the holiday break, with a notably sour boss waiting for them.

Even the usually unflappable Caleb wasn’t spared a scolding. The reason, as secretary Flora overheard, was trivial at best.

When Caleb inquired if Mr. Richardson wanted a transaction completed immediately, the My response was a cold sneer, “Is Leanne rushing you? If not, don’t get overzealous.
