Chapter 265

When Curtis arrived, the party was already in full swing.

The villa was warm with the scent of wine. As he entered, a chill from the spring night clung to him.

Spotting him at the door, a group who had been slapping playing cards on their faces and standing up to greet him dropped their cards, “Curtis.”

If she was anyone else, Devin would’ve just tossed her into an empty room upstairs to sleep it off, but it was not the case for Leanne. He draped a blanket over her and stayed by her side, wary of any drunken partygoers accidentally bumping into her.

He leaned against the couch, nearly dozing off himself. Suddenly, he realized the couch. and Leanne were both empty.

Devin sprang up, “Where’s Leanne?”

Someone nearly dropped their drink, “Geez, don’t scare me like that. Curtis just carried her off.”

Despite the warmer days, the nights in March were still cold.

Curtis wrapped Leanne snugly in the blanket, carrying her out princess-style. She seemed to wake up as they stepped outside.

Curtis hadn’t expected her to wake so soon, wondering if she’d think he broke his promise of not showing up.

“Go back to sleep,” he said softly. “When you wake up, I won’t be here.”

She didn’t respond and just looked at him for a moment longer.

“Curtis,” she said, her voice soft and slightly slurred, not quite her usual tone.
