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

Chapter 421



As if guided by some divine intervention, the name Chuck suddenly shone like a beacon, illuminating a path for Leanne.

Finding information on Chuck wasn't hard. Over the years, he'd remained at Vector Vista Bank and climbed the ranks to the Vice President, making frequent appearances on various financial TV channels.

Leanne browsed through his resume. He and Joseph had attended the same prestigious university, with Chuck being a few years junior. After graduating, he joined the IT department at Vector Vista Bank and worked directly under Joseph.

The latest news about him mentioned a strategic partnership signing ceremony set to take place on Wednesday afternoon between ElitePinnacle Investments and VectorVista Bank, with Chuck attending as part of Vector Vista's leadership.

Leanne glanced at the calendar on her desk.

It was happening the next day.

Joy had arranged to meet a client near the hospital and decided to catch up with Leanne for lunch afterward.

Selina, who had slept until eleven and idly scrolled through a food delivery app, felt left out seeing the two planning lunch without her and had her driver take her to join them.

However, the trio ate at a small diner, and Selina shook her head. "Don't bother calling me for such trivial meals next time."

"No one called you. You came on your own," Joy retorted, sneakily taking some beef from Selina's plate and glancing at Leanne, "Honey, did Curtis upset you again?"

Leanne snapped out of her reverie and replied, "Not at all. Why do you ask?"

"You've seemed a bit preoccupied lately."

Was it that obvious? Leanne turned to look at her reflection on the glass beside her but couldn't pinpoint anything amiss.

She had been trying her best to appear normal.

"I was thinking of attending the ElitePinnacle signing ceremony with Curtis tomorrow, but I'm unsure how to bring it up."

Seeing Selina's beef disappearing into Joy's plate, Leanne kindly shared some with Selina. Feeling the gesture, Joy passed her stolen pieces to Selina, sharing beef among their dishes.

Joy interrupted the silent beef transaction. "There, now our dishes taste the same."

"I thought it was something serious," Selina exclaimed, "Just sweet-talk Curtis a bit. He'd take you to the Moon if you asked."

Joy nodded in agreement. "Curtis spoils you rotten. He wouldn't say no to you attending his signing ceremony. Heck! You could ride on his shoulders, and he'd still praise you for being so adventurous."

Leanne smiled. "That won't be necessary."

"Ahem." Selina cleared her throat, "Keep it down. People are staring."

"Let them stare. What's the harm in giving the folks a good view of three beauties?" Joy declared with a righteous air.

Selina was in awe. "Where did you get that thick skin? Could use the contact of your beauty clinic."NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"Back at you!"

Watching her friends' playful banter brought Leanne a brief moment of relief.

The summer warmth was intensifying, but Leanne's Castle felt like an oasis amid the bustling city, its temperature lower than the surrounding concrete jungle.

Curtis had an evening engagement, and after her shower, Leanne lay in bed, flipping through a novel with only half an interest, occasionally checking the time on her phone.

She didn't realize when she drifted off, but a faint sound slowly roused her from sleep.

The house was silent, and the bedroom door creaked open softly, letting in the warm, yellow light that revealed a tall figure in the doorway.

Stretching lazily, the cat sauntered over and rubbed against Curtis' leg, attempting a meow.

He placed a finger to his lips and shushed it softly.

Whether the cat truly understood or not, it stayed quiet. Curtis bent down to scoop up the cat that had tried to sneak into the bedroom, closing the door softly behind him.
