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

Chapter 55

Devin’s parties were legendary for their raucous energy, with thumping bass lines and an endless supply of booze.

As the music pulsed, bodies swayed, and the usual barriers of social class seemed to melt away in the rhythm.

Suzan was the belle of the ball, effortlessly charming her way through the crowd. With every conversation, she caught the ball and tossed it back with grace, her wit as sharp as a tack. She was the very image of high EQ and social grace.

Jennifer often complained about Leanne’s shyness and lack of social savvy. To her, Suzan was the epitome of confidence and social grace.

Joy thrived in these settings, darting through the crowd like a social butterfly, her original reasons for attending long forgotten.

Leanne, no dancer, sought refuge in a quiet corner. Just as she settled down, she felt a gaze upon her.

Glancing across, she noticed Selina at the other end of the couch, her leg in a cast resting. on the armrest, wearing a surprised expression.

“I looked for you and you ignored me. You said you’d be resting at home, and here you are at a party!” Selina complained.

Leanne glanced at her, “Does your nurse even know you’re out?”

Selina pouted, playing the sympathy card, “I just wanted to hang out with you.”

Coming to Suzan’s party to seek her out was certainly creative. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Leanne smirked, “Why don’t you go sing the national anthem at the White House instead?” Selina was speechless..

Suzan was chatting nearby when someone asked, “Heard from Devin you’re staying put this time. Did you finally decide to embrace your roots?”

“I couldn’t stand the food in Emberland anymore,” Suzan confessed, “Nothing beats a good old- fashioned burger.”

“I wondered why Mr. Curtis left his thriving business on Bullion Boulevard. It turns out he came back with you.”

Leanne paused at the comment, the answer to her long-held question finally clear.

Curtis had decided to return home because Suzan had.

Following Suzan to Emberland and then back home again, he was truly devoted.

Suzan brushed a lock of hair from her face. She blushed at the mention of Curtis.

She glanced outside, “Don’t tease. Curtis isn’t swayed by sentiment.”

Leanne followed her gaze to the garden.

Despite the late autumn chill, the roses were still meticulously tended, blooming vibrantly.

Curtis stood beside a bush of Constance roses, his left hand in his pocket, right hand holding a phone to his ear.

The busy Mr. Curtis was always on call, taking time out for a party. If that wasn’t love, what was it?

Was it Curtis’ keen senses or just coincidence? He suddenly looked inside.

“Wow, she’s looking at you!” exclaimed a woman beside Suzan.

“You two really are synced up. You mention him and he senses it, huh?”

Suzan locked eyes with him through the glass, the sweetness between them nearly palpable, “Oh, stop, you’re making me blush.”

That was when Leanne understood what it felt like to be a bystander to others’ romance.

Deep down, she thought Suzan and Curtis made a perfect pair.

They were both attractive and accomplished. The Wright family might not have the deep legacy of the Richardson family, but they were still among Stonebridge’s elite.

She remembered a night in senior year when she saw Curtis and Suzan under a streetlamp.

Curtis’ hands were casually in his pockets, As Suzan embraced him, the warm glow cast a romantic light over the young lovers.

It was o

see.

only later that Leanne heard they were dating, a match both families were happy to

Selina undoubtedly supported Suzan, but she had taken a liking to Leanne. Checking her expression, Selina worried Leanne might be hurt by the conversation.

“Truth be told, it’s better you and Curtis split.” Selina said.

Joy had just walked up when she heard this.

She too wished for Leanne’s freedom, but the words rankled her, “Why should she divorce to make way for that bitch?”

“Don’t be crude. Curtis and Suzan are meant to be. If anything, Leanne is the interloper.”

“Nonsense. Ever heard of marriage laws? No matter their past, Leanne is Curtis’ wife now. What Suzan’s doing is homewrecking!”
