Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 

Curtis’ eyes were hard and unyielding, “Jeremy I know what you’re up to, and it’s not your place to meddle in my affairs with her.” 

Jeremy hesitated, but ultimately didn’t budge, “I’m not trying to meddle. Curtis, if she’s not willing, you shouldn’t be forcing her.” 

The normally unflappable Curtis actually paused at his words. 

“I’m not forcing her,” he said, looking at Leanne “Leanne, just hear me out.” 

“I don’t want to.” Leanne didn’t even glance his way, and with that, she turned and walked 

away. 

Curtis stood there, watching her leave without a backward glance, her retreating figure a stark symbol of his defeat. 

Her lack of trust and outright resistance left him feeling a profound sense of frustration. It was like when he tried to make a name for ElitePinnacle amidst the squeeze of the top investment banks, struggling every single day like walking on a knife’s edge, fighting against time, facing the threat of bankruptcy and the humiliation of fleeing back home. Never had he felt so helpless. 

But this was a situation of his own making; he couldn’t blame anyone else. 

Jeremy walked Leanne to the entrance of the spa, where a long corridor separated the 

men’s and women’s sections. 

Leanne, lost in thought, took a couple of steps inside before she remembered Jeremy still there and turned back to say, “Thanks.” 

Jeremy started to say something but stopped himself, “No problem.” 

Leanne nodded and continued on her way. 

She couldn’t fathom the meaning behind Curtis’ words. He was someone who never bothered to lie-out of disdain and lack of necessity. Nothing in this world required Mr. Curtis to go to the trouble of fabricating a lie. 

If it was a lie, what was he after? If it was the truth, then what did the past three years 

mean?

Her thoughts were more muddled than murky waters, but she didn’t want to think about it. anymore, didn’t want to let Curtis trouble her mind. 

The privacy in the spa was excellent. She found the room where Joy and Selina were waiting, and when she entered, surprisingly, they were both still dressed, sitting opposite each other on the edge of the pool, sweating from the heat, their robes wrapped around them like armor, eyeing each other warily.

Joy asked, “Why aren’t you stripping? I want to see those abs you’ve been working on.” 

Selina replied, “How could I upstage you? You’re older, you go first.” 

Joy scoffed, “Since when do you respect me so much?” 

Selina snorted, “Just now.” 

Leanne slipped into the water, lost in thought. 

Noticing her demeanor, the two quickly shed their robes and prepared to join her. They glanced at each other’s figures and then exchanged a look. 

Joy’s face turned sheepish, “I went overboard with the dieting, then binged on a cheese pizza, had a milkshake, and even a slice of cake, not to mention the midnight barbecue.” 

Selina sighed, “Figures. I’ve been posing for the same workout photo every day since day 

one.” 

Joy snorted, “You think I didn’t notice? You changed outfits to fake progress, but you forgot the timestamps on your photos, dummy!” 

Selina rolled her eyes at her, “…Damn.” 

Leanne burst into laughter, her spirits lifting, “Great, so in the end, the only person you fooled was me, huh?” 

With these two around, Leanne’s mood quickly improved. After soaking in the taking a shower, the trio headed to the buffet.
