Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 304

Curtis finally looked up from his papers, flicking ashes from his cigarette.

"I mean, they are cats." he replied.

At a loss for words, Jennifer took a deep breath, visibly fighting the urge to punch him.

"Can you be serious for once? I need to talk to you about something important."

Curtis remained nonchalant, "You were just telling me to speak up, now you’re playing coy?"

Jennifer was furious, but held back, giving him a sharp look. "Is there really no chance for you and Suzan?"

"I wonder if you would have discussed matters of national importance with me." Curtis returned his attention to the documents in his hand, dismissive. "Mrs. Richardson, I'm really busy. If you're bored and want to chat, I charge by the second."

"As if I love chatting with you, a single sentence from you is enough to kill me." Jennifer sighed. "Weren’t you and Suzan doing well when you dated?"

Curtis sneered, his words laced with irony, "Why I dated her should be obvious to you."

"That was for your good! You two grew up together and seemed perfect for each other. I hoped that you..."

She was cut off as Curtis interjected, "Who told you we were perfect for each other?"

"I saw it with my eyes that the night I saw you two embracing."

"Which night?"

"Your sophomore year, after you won the mathematics competition and came back home."

Curtis remembered. "Oh, that night."

He took the cigarette from his mouth, twirling it between his fingers, his smirk cryptic.

"She came out to talk and didn’t say much before she was all over me. I was too busy watching Leanne holding hands with some boy to push her away."

"Suzan told me she confessed to you and you accepted."

Curtis had just heard about this, clicking his tongue, "I didn’t even hear what she said."

Jennifer was speechless, her emotions churned like a stormy sea.

For years, Curtis had been rebellious at home, living a carefree and reckless life. As his mother, she couldn’t stand it anymore.

So she compromised, agreeing to let him minor in economics on the condition that he cut ties with his frivolous affairs and seriously date Suzan.
