Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 330

After Curtis soothed her for a while, Leanne's sudden surge of emotions gradually subsided.

Curtis kissed her brows, traced her nose, and landed softly on the corner of her lips. Pausing for a moment, he moved slightly and kissed her fully.

Their soft lips met, and after just a brief moment, Leanne made a slight motion to pull away.

Curtis backed off without insisting.

He knew that like the melting of a glacier, it would take time for her to accept him. He was content with even the slightest acceptance.

He was dying to kiss her, but he restrained himself. "I'll give you all the time you need, okay?"

At that moment, Leanne felt as though she was standing on the edge of a cliff, with Curtis on the other side, reaching out to her.

Jumping could mean reaching a victorious shore or facing another catastrophic fall.

She was a realist, preferring to take steady, controlled steps, keeping things within her grasp.

Risk-taking was not her forte. Yet, there was a fire inside her, a fire that once left her scarred and covered by floods and snow, painstakingly peeled off her heart by her own efforts.

But it was a fire that would not die, not completely uprooted. As winter passed and the gentle winds of spring blew, it flickered alive again.

It was her unending love for Curtis.

"What if I still don't want to?" Leanne looked directly at him, her eyes still damp.

"What if I end up rejecting you?"

Curtis calmly responded, "Don't get ahead of yourself. How can you be so sure that you won't change your mind someday?"

"How long will you wait?" Leanne asked, changing her approach.

Curtis raised an eyebrow, pondering. "I'm only twenty-eight now. A troublemaker like me ought to live to ninety-nine. Waiting another seventy years for you wouldn’t be a problem."

The slight ache in Leanne's heart vanished with his words.

"Then go ahead and wait."
