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

Whether Maddox wanted to hit her was unknown, but right then, Leanne was itching to give Curtis a piece of her mind.

The sorrow that had enveloped Jennifer seemed to have vanished into thin air as she sighed softly, “It’s nothing. I was chatting with Leanne.”
