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

Chapter 176

During those days, because she’d been hitting the sack late and had no classes to wake

up for, Leanne often indulged in sleeping in. The sunshine had already spilled across the entire bed before she stirred, and there was Curtis, playfully tapping her side.

His lean hand appeared in the frame, teasing a strand of her hair, brushing the tips across her forehead down to the tip of her nose.

While pestering her, he whispered with a chuckle, “Sleepyhead, the sun’s got your bum all toasty.”

In her slumber, Leanne’s lashes fluttered a few times, his antics rousing her from sleep.. She reached out towards him with arms heavy with haze, still halfway caught in a dream.

Watching that scene, something inside Leanne softened with a pang of longing.

She couldn’t even remember the last time she had moments like this. Since she was six, she hadn’t reached out for an embrace from anyone.

Curtis’ light laughter filled the video before it clicked off. But she knew, after the screen went dark, he must have bent down to hold her, maybe even to kiss her.

Because Curtis, during that time, was always that tender.

As the video auto-ended, Leanne sat before her computer, staring at the media player’s dark interface. Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, pulling her from her reverie. She got up to answer it.

It was Curtis calling.

For the first two seconds, she couldn’t quite discern which Curtis was on the other end of
