Chapter 330

After Curtis soothed her for a while, Leanne’s sudden surge of emotions gradually subsided.

Curtis kissed her brows, traced her nose, and landed softly on the corner of her lips. Pausing for a moment, he moved slightly and kissed her fully.

Their soft lips met, and after just a brief moment, Leanne made a slight motion to pull away.

Curtis backed off without insisting.

He knew that like the melting of a glacier, it would take time for her to accept him. He was content with even the slightest acceptance.

He was dying to kiss her, but he restrained himself. “I’ll give you all the time you need, okay?”

At that moment, Leanne felt as though she was standing on the edge of a cliff, with Curtis on the other side, reaching out to her.

Jumping could mean reaching a victorious shore or facing another catastrophic fall.

She was a realist, preferring to take steady, controlled steps, keeping things within her grasp.
