Chapter 308

Curtis néver showed up.

Later, Curtis married Leanne. Suzan was filled with jealousy and regret, wishing she hadn’t lost her temper with him that day.

So, she learned to keep her fiery temper and pride in check. Curtis was the type who responded better to a soft touch rather than a hard push.

Then, at Devin’s birthday bash, Curtis declared that Suzan was the person he loved the most. When Suzan heard about it, she couldn’t help but feel smug. No matter what, she was the special one.
