Chapter 112

Compared to Curtis, who thrived on ribbing her poking fun, and generally giving her a hard time, she naturally enjoyed spending time with Phillip, who was stable and gentlemanly. Her fondness for him did not stem from romantic feelings. After all, he was seven years her senior. When Leanne first arrived at the Richardson family as a child, he was already a grown man.

To Leanne, Phillip was a beacon of warmth and reliability, a figure of trust for a little orphan girl guided by her instinct to seek comfort and avoid harm.

If she had to marry into the Richardson family, Phillip was the safer bet than Curtis.

Looking back over the past three years, she thought events had proven her initial thought

correct.

All she wanted was to fulfill Mary’s wish by marrying into the Richardson family, quietly getting through three years, and then getting a divorce.

But Curtis insisted on meddling with her, seducing her, and then abandoning her.

If only it had been Phillip.

He was a good man. Even if he didn’t love her, he would at least respect her and not harm, her.

When news came that Mary was back in town but under the weather, the house was abuzz with visitors throughout the day.
