Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 401

Skyler could feel it. When he walked in, Grace's grip on his hand tightened involuntarily.

Curtis rose from his chair and approached Skyler. "I've always stayed out of your personal affairs with her. If you're willing to be used by her, that's your choice. But don't involve me in it, and honestly, I couldn't give a hoot. You know my line in the sand."

Skyler was well aware.

Curtis might not care much about most things, but when it came to Leanne, he wouldn't tolerate a speck of dust in his eyes.

"Handle it yourself."

Curtis left him some dignity, grabbed his coat, took Leanne by the hand, and patted Skyler on the shoulder before leaving. "Take care of yourself."

His gesture was casual but felt immensely heavy on Skyler's shoulder.

Still not having had her fill of the drama, Joy lingered, unwilling to leave. Before the door closed, she heard Skyler ask.

"Was it your idea to bring Xenia to Curtis' dinner party? Who told you to do that?"

Daniel's gaze slid past the person behind him, and he smiled, "Mr. Nelson, if you're asking this question, you already know the answer."

The conversation was cut off as the door closed.

Back in the room,

"Skyler..." Grace wanted to say something, but Skyler didn't give her a chance.

"What's your relationship with her... with Grace?"

Daniel looked conflicted. Knowing he would offend Curtis, he wouldn't dare to pull any stunts at his dinner party. A simple musical performance turned into such a mess.
