Chapter 240

Leanne had never dated another guy before, so she didn’t have much to compare to, but she knew Curtis had a way with words that made her feel special.

When she remained silent, Joy thought she was upset and turned to her, saying, “I’m not trying to break you two up. You might believe Curtis really loves you, but I don’t trust him. He hurt you once, and that’s enough for him to be on my blacklist. It’s not that I don’t believe he could love you. You’re a catch, you know, anyone would hit the jackpot to have a shot at loving you. I don’t trust him. I don’t even know what I’m trying to say, but you get me, right?”

Her words were a bit all over the place, but Leanne got the gist.

Joy was just trying to look out for her.

“I understand,” Leanne hugged her, “Joy, thanks for always being there for me.”

“Don’t do this, you’ll make me cry,” Joy said earnestly, “Honey, maybe it’s time to find someone new. Anyone but Curtis.”

Leanne smiled, her expression hidden by the white face mask she was wearing.
