Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 104

“You’re not twelve years old,” grumbled Joy, her tone dripping with disdain, “and yet you’re playing this cliquey game of ‘if you’re friends with me, you can’t be friends with her.”

Every day, Selina would cling to Joy, insisting they share a meal, but when she faced Suzan, she suddenly couldn’t own up to it.

And did Suzan even give a hoot about her little fan girl, Selina? During Selina’s days in the hospital, how often did Suzan grace her with a visit?

Leanne yanked her wrist from Curtis’ grasp and called to Joy, “Let’s get out of here.”

Before she left, Joy purposefully leaned close to Selina’s face, let out a hefty huff, and said, “Later, gator!”

Leanne departed without a backward glance, leaving the remaining four in a silent tableau, three pairs of eyes trailing her exit.

One pair wide with longing, another hesitating with unspoken words.

Curtis’ expression was unreadable as he watched Leanne disappear beyond the door. He turned his gaze to Jeremy, a thin smirk playing on his lips that never quite reached his eyes, which remained a cold, detached hazel.
