Chapter 153 Suzan lugged her suitcase into the yard, a wide grin plastered across her face as she called out, "Everyone's here already? Got held up with sstuff. Sorry for being late." What a small world.
That once roomy and bright yard suddenly felt restrictive and weighty. The silence hung heavy, like a brew fermenting in smysterious cask, each component releasing its peculiar scent.
Selina looked helpless, her loyalties torn between two camps, making her the peanut butter in an awkward sandwich.
Devin glanced at Curtis, whose gaze settled on Leanne, prompting him to look her too..
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtway, Leanne was a portrait of calm, her gaze fleeting over Suzan without a hint of greeting or emotional ripple.
"I didn't tell her. I swear." Devin immediately tried to absolve himself from blame.
Curtis' expression was unreadable as he scolded, "Instead of standing there like a statue, go help with the luggage." Burned by past mistakes, Devin was overly cautious, finding Curtis' thoughts inscrutable.
He glanced from Suzan to Leanne, paused for two beats, then edged closer and whispered, “Just to make sure, bro. Whose luggage am I supposed to grab?" With a smack to the back of Devin's head, Curtis replied, "Go get your brain checked, and I'll foot the bill." Relying on his questionable IQ and EQ, Devin stepped down from the porch and strode confidently into the yard. Though he'd been discreet, the yard wasn't big, and Skyler and his crew stood beside them.
If Curtis was ordering Devin to fetch luggage, it was clear whom it was for.
Everyone saw the situation, even feeling sympathetic about Leanne, the soon-to-be ex-wife. Leanne knew it wouldn't be her luggage. She was unbothered, her mind as still as water.
Behind her, Suzan dragged her suitcase closer, preparing to hand it to Devin. "Mine's a bit heavy..." Before she could finish, Devin stopped beside Leanne, lifted her suitcase, and walked off.
1/2 11:28 Chapter 153 Suzan's smile froze on her face.
Leanne was puzzled.
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelina and Joy's heads ctogether, whispering in hushed tones.
"What the heck? Why's he taking Leanne's suitcase?" asked Selina.
Processing the situation took Joy a moment, and finally she spit out, "Did Devin lose his mind?" Leanne was puzzled, thinking Devin had made a mistake.
After a few steps, Devin halted and turned back. Amidst the strange stares, he asked Leanne, "Hey, what's your room number?" Leanne was doubly confused..
The others froze in bewilderment, sglancing at Curtis, suspecting Devin had shown misguided diligence.
However, Curtis didn't correct him. He turned his head slowly and glanced at the stunned Grace. "Room number?"
