Chapter 308 Curtis néver showed up.
Later, Curtis married Leanne. Suzan was filled with jealousy and regret, wishing she hadn't lost her temper with him that day.
So, she learned to keep her fiery temper and pride in check. Curtis was the type who responded better to a soft touch rather than a hard push.
Then, at Devin's birthday bash, Curtis declared that Suzan was the person he loved the most. When Suzan heard about it, she couldn't help but feel smug. No matter what, she was the special one.
But then Curtis moved to Starlake City, just a stone's throw from Brightwood University. Despite being so close, he never once reached out to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf she took the initiative, nine times out of ten she wouldn't even catch a glimpse of him unless Devin and his crew were in town, or swell-connected family friends were visiting. Only then would Curtis grace the gatherings with his presence.
She followed Curtis back home, waiting for his marriage with Leanne to crumble, hoping Jennifer would play matchmaker. Suzan felt like she held all the cards.
But over the last six months, she watched helplessly as things spiraled beyond her control, her hopes dashed by a man who seemed heartless, his rare affections bestowed upon Leanne.
Suzan couldn't understand when or how Curtis fell for Leanne. What was so special about Leanne? When Leanne finished her shift at the hospital, Curtis' car was waiting out front. Dressed in a charcoal grey business suit with subtle pinstripes, the outfit softened his typically carefree swagger. Leaning against the car door, he exuded an air of effortless sophistication.
As she emerged, Curtis straightened up. "Dr. Castillo, may I have the honor of driving you htoday?" Leanne, arms crossed, waited for her ride, her hair pinned back neatly. She gave him a cold, sideways glance. "No, you may not." Unfazed, Curtis shifted tactics. "Then I might just visit the kids. I do have visitation rights, after all." It was absurd how he treated his cat like a child.
But since she was the one who first joked that the cat was her own, Leanne couldn't very well accuse him of being insane without implicating herself.
1/2 09:05 Chapter 308 "If you want a cat, get your own. Stop mooching off mine." Curtis chuckled lightly. "Stingy, aren't you? Do look like the kind of guy who likes cats?" He declared confidently, "I'm just plotting excuses to see you." Leanne didn't want to engage.
Curtis pulled a box from his car and handed it to her. "Here, you take this hthen." Forced to accept, Leanne asked, "What is it?" "Toys and treats for the cat," he replied. While claiming disdain for cats, he had clearly spared no expense. "Make sure to tell her they're from me." "Stop playing nice." As her car arrived, Leanne, the box in tow, turned and got in.
As spring turned to summer, the rains picked up.
The next morning was dreary with continuous drizzle. During rounds, Leanne met the new caregiver.
Claudine, in a tone neither high nor low, informed Suzan, "Curtis sent this caregiver specifically to look after Harrington. He's very concerned about our family." It felt like Claudine kinda wanted Leanne to catch that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeanne showed no reaction, checked on Harrington's condition, and left.
As evening approached and her shift neared its end, Curtis messaged her, "It's raining. I'm coming to pick you E up." Leanne glanced at the message and ignored it.
Just before her shift ended, a nurse rushed up to her. "Dr. Castillo, the m family of the patient in bed 17 sa says he's in severe pain after his medication drop. They need you right away!" Without delay, Leanne put down her phone and headed to the patient wards.
Turning the corner, she spotted Jeremy stepping out of a private room.
