Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 329

“That’s not what I meant,” Leanne said, her cheeks flushing as she averted her gaze.

Curtis chuckled, his demeanor relaxed. “Come on, I’m a big guy and I’ve seen clips. Maybe you felt comfortable because I was watching your reaction, trying to make you feel at ease?”

Leanne’s cheeks were now fully ablaze. She kicked him lightly on the shin and turned to walk away. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Curtis laughed, pulling her back and wrapping his arms around her. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing.”

He cupped her heated face, forcing her to look at him. His usual playful expression turned serious, his tone sincere, “Leanne, I’ve only ever lied to you once, when I said I loved Suzan.”

“I’ve only ever loved you, and I will only ever love you. You don’t realize how wonderful you are. There’s no one in this world more deserving of my love than you.”

His words struck Leanne’s most vulnerable spots, touching her heart that had been sealed off due to the loss of her parents at a young age and the days tormented by depression, filled with self-doubt.

Tears misted in her eyes, quickly gathering into a flood that hung precariously on her lashes.

She pressed her lips together, trying to hold back the tears, but Curtis sighed softly a kissed her eyelid, tasting the salty warmth.

“Cry if you need to, it’s okay,” he whispered soothingly. “I’m here, you can cry or laugh whenever you feel like it. Leanne, whatever you want, I’m here to give it to you.”

Upstairs, Joy and Selina were peering out the window, watching the two figures below.

Curtis’ tall, imposing shadow enveloped Leanne completely, first forcefully pulling her back when she tried to leave, and then holding her in a tight embrace, his actions illuminated clearly under the streetlight.

Joy was furious: “That jerk, always with his tricks!”

Selina, whose eyesight was not used during school days but now seemed exceptionally sharp, observed, “Don’t you think Leanne’s body language doesn’t really show resistance?”

“She is resisting, just subtly!” Joy retorted.

Rolling up her sleeves, she was ready to dash downstairs when Selina grabbed her, resulting in a scuffle between them.

“Let me go! If we don’t go down now, that siren will lure her away again!”

“Cool down, cool down! Can’t you see Leanne still has feelings for Curtis?” Selina argued.

Joy collapsed on the floor, overwhelmed.

She and Leanne had been close as family for years, witnessing her fall in love and then fall apart. How could she not see that Leanne still harbored feelings for Curtis?

That’s exactly why she was so anxious.

Exhausted, Selina sat cross-legged beside her. “I’ve been watching for a while, and I genuinely think Curtis loves her. Even though I’d love to set her up with my brother, and my mom wants her as a

daughter-in-law, and our whole family adores her, it just doesn’t spark between her and my brother. Whenever she’s with Curtis, it’s like they’re in a bubble, a kind of rapport that no one else can break through.”

“They both still care for each other; it’s just the baggage from the past they can’t get over,” Selina advised earnestly.

“If she’s willing to get back with Curtis, maybe we shouldn’t stand in their way. If she’s happy, that’s what matters.”

Joy could feel tears pricking at her eyes. “You don’t get it, I’m scared she’s gonna get hurt again.”

Selina lay down beside her, both staring up at the vintage chandelier on the ceiling.

“If you’re afraid of getting hurt, you can’t find happiness. Those who don’t hurt anyone can’t bring happiness to anyone else.”
