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

Chapter 276

The herbal tea wasn’t too bad. Leanne gulped down a cup real quick, which Curtis instinctively took from her once empty. “Make sure you get some more rest,” he told her gently.

He closed the door gently behind him, leaving Leanne alone in the quiet room, feeling as though she was submerged in a soothing warm bath.

She pulled the covers over herself, her thoughts gradually sinking into a foggy haze.

When she stirred from her groggy sleep, the night outside was as thick as ink, and only a nightlight illuminated the room.

A full-body ache made even turning over in bed a grimace-inducing effort.

She could faintly hear men’s voices in the living room, it was Curtis and Caleb, though her pain-fogged brain resisted processing their words. After a few moments, she recognized it was Curtis and Caleb talking.

Caleb had come over on an errand to drop off some fresh clothes and a laptop, along with some urgent documents that needed Curtis’ signature.

“The meeting with K.R.,” Caleb began, only to be met with a stern look from Curtis.

“Keep it down, she’s sleeping.”

He lowered his voice to a whisper, as if discussing something illicit. “What about the K.R. meeting? We’ve got the vice president from their company coming over for a meeting tomorrow afternoon. It was scheduled last week; we can’t postpone it.”

Curtis signed off on some financial documents. “Let’s do it tomorrow morning. I’ll ma time.”

Gone were the days when he practically lived at the office, now he had to “make time” go in.

Caleb glanced at his ever-changing boss.

The suit jacket was off, tossed carelessly over a chair along with the tie. The whereabou of his watch and cufflinks were a mystery, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up, giving hin a relaxed, homey vibe.

A delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen; he was cooking.

Caleb had never seen Curtis, who was accustomed to a life of luxury and picky eating, cook before. Finding authentic food that met his standards in Starlake was tough, but Curtis had never stepped foot in the kitchen until now. Caleb had thought he couldn’t cook until Curtis asked him to bring over some ingredients earlier on the phone.

The food smelled surprisingly good, fresh and savory, making Caleb a bit hungry.
