Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 

Leanne finally relented and invited him in in a gesture of obligatory hospitality. 

But making coffee was off the table. Leanne’s politeness only stretched so far. 

Curtis wandered through the door, taking in the surroundings leisurely. 

After all, the house was a relic from twenty years ago, decked out in more of a classical style. Since Leanne had reclaimed the property from Violet, she had given it a thorough 

once-over. 

She changed the locks and, driven by a bit of germaphobia, cleared out all the old furniture that Violet’s family had used for nearly two decades despite being heirlooms from her parents. 

After cleaning the house entirely, she replaced every replaceable thing, including toilets and appliances, and chose new furniture that echoed the old days’ style. 

She even rehung her parents’ photographs on the walls. 

Curtis commented, “You must have spent nearly all your savings after buying all this stuff.”
