Chapter 110
Mary in bed snapped awake at the sound. Everyone moleen? she kuired her voice clear and sharp.
“All tucked in,” Sarah whispered, setting a tray on the bed and handing over a steaming soup. “Kept it warm for you, ma’am.”
Mary, who had appeared frail at dinner, sat up with vigor and sipped the fragrant broth.
“That daughter-in-law of mine, I can read her like a book,” she boasted. Lucky I’m quick on my feet!”
“You gave us quite the scare, Sarah remarked. ‘It sounds like Mr. Curtis and Leanne had
another tiff.”
“Over what this time?”
“I didn’t dare eavesdrop. No clue what set Mr. Curtis and Leanne off.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Do you know what’s driving their divorce?”
“I’m in the dark, too. Rumor has it that Mr. Curtis got a soft spot for that Ms. Wright from Emberland…”
Mary scoffed, “Pfft, what past could he have with Suzan? It’s all Jennifer’s doing. I never saw him take it to heart. That Wright girl, always causing drama, nothing compared to
Anne.”
“Could be idle gossip. We’ll never truly understand what goes on between Mr. Curtis and Leanne.”
“This family… I only step away for some time, and it’s like they’re falling apart,” Mary sighed. “I’ve been praying for peace between them, and look where
e we are.”
“Why not ask Mr. Nelson or Mr. Perez? They’re close to Mr. Curtis and might know something, Sarah suggested.
Mary nodded in agreement. “That Perez kid, always hanging around Curtis, might spill the beans. He’s gotta be in the know.”
