Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 

Curtis’ mood that evening was like a balloon with a slow leak, gradually losing its buoyancy as the night wore on. 

His eyes dulled as he said, “What did you promise me just now? Didn’t we agree not to bring this up again?” 

“I didn’t promise you.” 

Curtis looked at her defiant stance and huffed, “Well, you’re getting bolder.” 

But no matter how bold she got, she couldn’t outmaneuver him in cunning. 

“Too bad for you, I’m allergic to the city hall. I’m a bit delicate, you see. The moment I set foot in there, I can’t breathe. What do you suggest we do?” 

He was obviously avoiding the subject. Leanne’s brows knitted together, Then how did you manage to go there last time?” 

“That visit is exactly what triggered my allergy.” 

Leanne was getting irritated, “Curtis, what are you really after?” 

The silver-tongued Curtis paused for a second, I just don’t want to split up. Can’t you see that?” 

Clad in his black trench coat, Curtis stood under the dim glow of the streetlamp, his figure lean and striking. 

Beside him, Leanne seemed almost frail, her shadow nearly swallowed by his. 

Standing opposite him, she said, “But I do want to split up. 

Curtis felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were drowning in a weed-choked lake, with the moon, his only hope, tantalizingly out of reach, 

He let out a sigh, his breath dispersing like mist in the chilly air. 

“Leanne, I’m asking you one last time. If you’ve never loved me, I won’t make it hard for you, I’ll set you free.” 

He stepped closer until he was right in front of her, the murky light casting shadows that hid the emotions in his eyes. 

His hands cupped Leanne’s face, forcing her to look at him, to really see him. 

Her face was held steady in the warmth of his palms, his deep eyes locked onto hers, leaving no room for evasion. 

He searched her eyes and asked, “Have you ever loved me?”
