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.”

Devin sprang up, “Where’s Leanne?”

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

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.
