Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 451

Boots crunched on the soft snow as Leanne stepped away, then turned back.

Through the swirling snowflakes, Curtis stood under the eave, his features as striking as ever.

Locking eyes with her, a gentle warmth flickered in his eyes.

He didn't come to see her off, just said, "You should head back. It's cold out."

On her way back, Leanne couldn't shake the image of his eyes from her mind.

When Joy heard she had seen Curtis in Northwood, her gaze immediately darted to Leanne’s belly. “Did he notice?”

“No.”

At home, Leanne shrugged off her down jacket.

Joy reached out, comparing their bellies, “How do you manage to stay so slim at 20 weeks? I look bigger after a single meal at a buffet.”

Leanne retorted, “Is that from one meal, or because you're eating five times a day?”

Stung, Joy mock-threatened, “I’m gonna get you for that!”

Halfway through her playful attack, she remembered Leanne’s condition and dramatically grabbed her own neck instead, “I’ll throttle myself!”

“Don’t you have a check-up tomorrow? I have to attend a meeting in the morning, which should be done in a couple of hours,” Joy mentioned. “Why don’t you wait for me? I’ll go with you in the afternoon?”

“I’ve already made an appointment with the doctor,” Leanne said. “I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

Leanne dreamed that night again.

She dreamed of her parents before tragedy struck when they lived a simple yet warm life as a family of three.

In the dream’s final moments, her father advised her, “Keep running. Head towards where the sun rises.”

Awakening from the dream in a room bathed in lazy light, Leanne sipped water while pondering her parents’ message.

They hadn’t revealed the culprit, not wanting her soul trapped in that dark factory, confined by their demise.

She looked forward and moved towards the sunrise. But where was her sun?

It was in Northwood, Iceland, Leanne's Castle - everywhere Curtis was.
