Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 569

"All done," Devin said, "Alright, you can head back now."

"Watch out for the roadworks on your way home," Austin said before leading Joy back to their place.

Joy looked back to see Devin standing still in the nearby streetlight, giving off an odd vibe.

She waved at Devin, who lazily waved back, waiting for them to walk away before he turned to leave.

...

Shortly after Leanne had moved into what they jokingly called Leanne's Castle, she found someone on her doorstep late one night after dinner with colleagues.

Scattered around him were empty beer bottles, his head buried in his arms, seemingly asleep.

As Leanne approached to wake him, Devin lifted his head and mumbled, "Leanne..."

His eyes were red, making him look like a lost puppy.

Leanne took him in, where Laura warmed up some milk for him. He refused to drink it, instead darting off to Curtis' liquor cabinet to grab a few whiskeys, chugging them down.

After finishing, he collapsed on the couch, covering his eyes with his hand, and fell asleep.

Curtis was out for the evening and came home late, immediately noticing the strong smell of alcohol and the lean figure sprawled on the sofa.

Devin was out cold. Leanne covered him with a fleece blanket in case he caught a cold.

Suspicious of this alcohol-soaked stranger, the family cat perched on the back of the sofa, keeping a close watch.

Leanne was about to head to bed when she heard Curtis' car pull up. She exited the bedroom and whispered, "Did something upset him?"

Loosening his tie, Curtis glanced over and guessed the situation, "Heartbreak, maybe?"

"Heartbreak?" Leanne asked, "Does he have a crush on someone?"
