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

Chapter 327

Leanne felt an inexplicable emotion welling slowly in her chest.

Curtis had once confessed that he had loved her from a very early age. At that time, she had no concept of how early this “very early” was, nor any real grasp of his love.

She had thought Curtis was just a troublemaker at school, getting into fights with the likes of Johnny and dragging her into the mess to get scolded.

But it turned out, he did it all for her.

To the young Leanne, living with the Richardson family was just a temporary arrangement, slightly better than the foster homes she’d been shuffled between.

She knew she was an outsider, and when bullied, she wouldn’t seek anyone to stand up for her.

The incident where she was dragged into the boys’ restroom had made her the butt of jokes for a while, but once Johnny dropped out, it was never mentioned again.

She had never imagined Curtis had defended her from behind the scenes.

Had he never mentioned it to protect her pride?

Curtis watched from a distance as she laughed and chatted with someone else, his gaze casually sliding over Leanne’s face. “What are you talking about?” he asked, as he approached, draping his jacket over his arm.

Leanne glanced at him. “None of your business.”

Not wanting to tick her off, Curtis swallowed his jealousy and put on a show of bein chill. “Alright. Should I give you some space?”

Making peace like a diplomat, Jeremy replied smoothly, “Nothing much. We’re done talking.”

Just then, Joy’s phone rang, and Leanne took it to her, walking towards the restroom.

Curtis watched Leanne’s disappearing figure, then casually pulled out his card to settle t bill with Devin, remarking, “Southtown’s air must be good for your throat. You’ve been quite chatty since you stayed there.”

“The air is indeed pleasant there, a bit more humid than Stonebridge, nice environment,” Jeremy replied, ignoring the slight edge in Curtis’ voice and sincerely suggested, “You should take Leanne there sometime.”

“Really?” Curtis’ voice held a note of forced interest as he pocketed his hands in his trousers, “So good, huh? Why didn’t you stay longer?”
