The Marriage That Never Was (Leonard and Lisa )
Chapter 45

Chapter 45

It was already 1:30 in the afternoon when the group finished their meal and went downstairs together. Benedict generously said to Leslie, “Let me know the next time you come here to eat. There’s no need for a membership card. You can eat as much as you want.”

“Thank you,” Leslie replied.

As she finished speaking, Lisa reminded her with a smile, “Leslie, why don’t you two exchange numbers? You two are relatives since you married into the Tannin family.”

“Sure,” Leslie replied.

Immediately after, Benedict grabbed his phone and took Leslie’s number. Then he realized it would not be nice if he did not ask for Lisa’s number as she stood beside them. “Lisa, let me get yours too.”

“Sure,” Lisa said. She had a relatively good impression of Benedict and Lucas. After adding Benedict to her contacts, she also exchanged numbers with Lucas.

Quince looked a bit unhappy when he looked at them. “What’s this all about? You exchanged numbers with Lucas and Ben but not me? Are you looking down on me?”

Lisa teased, “That’s not it. I feared you, Mr. Quince, would disdain to exchange numbers with us.”

“That’s not it, either. I think you’re quite interesting,” Quince leaned over and exchanged numbers with Lisa and Leslie.

Leonard wore a cold expression as he watched and waited for Lisa to finish exchanging numbers and then come to ask for his. However, his newlywed wife put away her phone after getting their numbers.

Leonard almost crushed his phone in his pocket as he gripped it tightly.

Quince looked at Leonard’s expressionless face and asked, “Lisa, aren’t you going to get Leonard and Steph’s numbers?”

Lisa stiffened. She did not even consider taking their numbers.

Lucas glanced at Quince with dissatisfaction. “They’re a couple. She must’ve had his number long ago.”

“Oh, right.” Quince smacked his forehead. “I’m so dumb.”

Leonard stayed silent, thinking, ‘No, that’s not true. Lisa and I don’t even have each other’s phone numbers.‘

“Umm… Lisa, can we exchange numbers?” Stephanie removed her phone from her pocket and approached Lisa. “If Leonard causes you any trouble, you can call me.”

Leonard frowned.

‘What’s wrong with Stephanie? I’ve clarified things with her, yet she’s still clinging to me.‘

However, he could not embarrass Stephanie by reprimanding her with so many people present. After all, he was the one who had hurt her in the first place.

“Okay.” Lisa did not mind accommodating Stephanie as long as the latter caused less trouble in the future.

After exchanging numbers, Stephanie turned to Leonard and said, “I didn’t drive today. Can you give me a ride back to the music hall?”

“Let’s go.” Leonard turned expressionlessly and left.

“Goodbye.” Stephanie immediately followed suit.

Lucas helplessly shook his head. Even if Leonard did not like Lisa, Lucas thought Leonard went overboard. Lucas said, “Lisa, did you drive here? Do you need-”

“We drove here. Thank you for your hospitality today. Goodbye.” Lisa waved and held Leslie’s arm before leaving.
