Chapter 322

Until Curtis wrapped his arms around her and escorted her out of the hospital room, Leanne hadn’t seen where Suzan was injured.

Curtis helped her into the car and noticed she was still distracted. “Shaken up?” he asked.

Leanne snapped back to reality. “I didn’t even see what happened, how could I be shaken?” Curtis raised an eyebrow. “From the sound of it, you seem almost disappointed?”

Disappointed wasn’t quite the word, but when Curtis pulled her into his embrace, covering her ears, the sound of her heartbeat amplified.

“If they’re offended, so be it,” Curtis replied nonchalantly, a hint of recklessness in his tone. “I don’t care.”

Curtis never really put anyone on a pedestal.

“In this world, there’s only one person I fear offending,” he said with a half-smile. “Guess who?”

Leanne, as if she had a signal jammer installed, deflected his flirtation. “Probably Jake, right?”
