My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 203

He took out another cigarette, but before he could light it, Cora came rushing over.

“Mr. Rosenberg, Ms. Woods is here.”

Knowing Hannah was just outside, Cora deliberately raised her voice, making sure she would overhear.

Lionel’s head whipped around. Seeing no reaction from Hannah, he put a finger to his lips, signaling for Cora to be quiet.

“What is she doing here?”

Cora just shook her head.

Lionel’s brow furrowed. After a moment of thought, he lowered his voice. “Have her wait for me in the living room. I’ll be down in a minute.”

“Ms. Woods said she was worried about causing another misunderstanding, so she’s waiting for you in the courtyard.”

Lionel’s frustration mounted. Of all the times for Sandra to show up, it had to be now. Suddenly, a thought struck him. His gaze sharpened, turning cold and menacing as he stared at Cora. “Did you call her?”

Cora’s eyes darted nervously to the floor. She couldn’t meet his gaze.

“Cora, I’m warning you,” he said, his voice a low growl. “Stay out of my business.”

With that, he strode toward the stairs.

Once he was gone, Cora let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. She glanced at Hannah through the glass door, then, after a moment’s hesitation, slid it open and stepped onto the balcony.
