The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal novel Chapter 26

Chapter 17: Leonardo’s POV

I saw how upset Charlotte was about her ring being gone and couldn’t believe it when Claire defended

Matthew’s actions. The man had come with the intention of blackmailing me for money to pay for his very expensive habit. He even took pride in calling Claire to exploit funds out of me. Although that backfired massively, I was thrilled he had called Claire. That meant she was going to appear and I missed her horribly.

I had been given the perfect opportunity to give her the gift she should’ve gotten on our five year anniversary just a few days ago. I was so excited to hand her the envelope. I knew I was doing the right thing and I wanted to show her how determined and dedicated I was to having my wife back.

But Matthew’s actions ruined that moment for us.

Having heard what he had done and us standing at opposing sides on what transpired was not what I wanted. It wouldn’t help me get Claire back.

But Charlotte would. She proposed that Claire move back in and work as a caregiver to her instead of her calling the police and having Matthew arrested for theft. I’d like to think Charlotte did that in hopes to help me. I jumped in agreement at the opportunity and idea of Claire being back home but it backfired when I walked upstairs to our bedroom.
