Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 329

"That’s not what I meant," Leanne said, her cheeks flushing as she averted her gaze.

Curtis chuckled, his demeanor relaxed. "Come on, I’m a big guy and I've seen clips. Maybe you felt comfortable because I was watching your reaction, trying to make you feel at ease?"

Leanne's cheeks were now fully ablaze. She kicked him lightly on the shin and turned to walk away.

Curtis laughed, pulling her back and wrapping his arms around her. "Alright, I'll stop teasing."

He cupped her heated face, forcing her to look at him. His usual playful expression turned serious, his tone sincere, "Leanne, I've only ever lied to you once, when I said I loved Suzan."

"I've only ever loved you, and I will only ever love you. You don't realize how wonderful you are. There's no one in this world more deserving of my love than you."

His words struck Leanne's most vulnerable spots, touching her heart that had been sealed off due to the loss of her parents at a young age and the days tormented by depression, filled with self-doubt.

Tears misted in her eyes, quickly gathering into a flood that hung precariously on her lashes.

She pressed her lips together, trying to hold back the tears, but Curtis sighed softly and kissed her eyelid, tasting the salty warmth.

"Cry if you need to, it's okay," he whispered soothingly. "I'm here, you can cry or laugh whenever you feel like it. Leanne, whatever you want, I'm here to give it to you."

Upstairs, Joy and Selina were peering out the window, watching the two figures below.

Curtis' tall, imposing shadow enveloped Leanne completely, first forcefully pulling her back when she tried to leave, and then holding her in a tight embrace, his actions illuminated clearly under the streetlight.

Joy was furious: "That jerk, always with his tricks!"
