Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 334

Leanne felt a flush of warmth on her ears but didn't retort this time, her bright eyes fixed on him. "So, did it work?"

Something flickered deep within Curtis' eyes.

"What do you think? Leanne, I've been working hard."

His voice carried an indescribable mix of emotions, and suddenly, he stepped forward, pressing her back against the wall with nowhere to retreat.

Leanne felt overwhelmed by his imposing presence. Curtis held her wrist in one hand and cupped her chin with the other, lifting her face.

His thick lashes cast shadows, concealing the darkness in his eyes.

"You’re playing a dangerous game."

Muffled sounds from the bustling hall seeped through the walls, and passersby occasionally glanced their way as they walked through the corridor.

Curtis, undisturbed, shielded her in a corner where the light played ambiguously on their figures, standing very close.

He was about to kiss her.

Leanne felt trapped in a small space, her heart pounding fiercely, all other sounds blocked out by his imposing figure.

"A kiss?" Curtis asked patiently in a low voice.

"My colleague is waiting for me."

He didn't pursue the kiss but held her hand gently. "Invite her over for dinner."

Leanne shook her head. "She needed to talk about something. Plus, she doesn't know you guys; she wouldn't feel comfortable."

Reluctantly, Curtis let her slip through the gap between his body and the wall. As she stepped away, the grip on her wrist tightened momentarily.

From behind, he wrapped an arm around her waist and dropped a kiss on the crown of her head. "You look beautiful today. I'm happy to see you."

Then, he let go. "Alright, go back."
