Sarah busily agreed, stating, "Sir has been coughing lately, it's really thoughtful of you, Mr. Curtis." "I'm making it for Leanne; her cough hasn't improved. Dad's coughing too?" Curtis' display of filial piety was blatant, "Well, might as well make sfor him too." Maddox shot him a glance, "You're so dutiful." Curtis settled into the sofa with an air of nonchalance, "As long as you know it." The Wright family tsat in an awkward silence.
Claudine couldn't hold back any longer. "Curtis, since you're here today, give us a straig answer. You and Leanne, are you divorced or not?" Curtis' smile was cryptic.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLately, his public displays of affection with Leanne only made them more anxious.
The Wrights had brought Suzan over today, partly to gauge Jennifer's opinion and partly to pressure the Richardson family into speeding up the wedding arrangements.
Coincidentally, it was rare to see both Maddox and the eldest son, Philip, at home. No sooner had they sat down, barely exchanging a few words, than Curtis and Leanne entered together, putting on quite the show for everyone.
Curtis' attitude made Claudine increasingly desperate. "It's not like that. Our families. agreed on your marriage to Suzan before the new year. Even though it's your second marriage, our families are so close, we're not concerned about formalities. As long as you and Suzan are happy, that's all that matters to us as parents." "But it's been half a year, and you and Leanne are still entangled. What will people think of Our Suzan?"
"Is that so." Curtis crossed his legs, the casualness in his demeanor and you m disappearing, his gaze cool and distant, "I haven't even divorced yet, have and you've already arranged my second marriage. What's the rush? Is the City Hall setting quotas for you, or have all the men in Stonebridge died off, leavingas the sole hope for continuation?" 217
