Chapter 214 act like Jeremy just the guy dropping off a birthday cake.
He'd act li Was Curtis' eyes gleamed with a shallow mirth, reflected in the cozy candlelight. "What's your wish?" he asked.
Leanne silently locked eyes with him for a moment before finally stepping forward, one step at a time, until she stood right in front of him..
She bent down, blowing out the candle.
And then looked straight into his eyes and said, “My wish is to get a divorce from you." That gentle, water-like smile finally began to fade, and Curtis didn't really know what he was expecting. He guessed this might be her answer but still hoped for a surprise.
She could wish for anything, even a shooting star, and he has the means to make it ctrue.

Curtis caught her wrist, set the cake aside, and pulled something out of his coat pocket, clasping it onto her wrist.
Leanne looked down to find that it was a wristwatch.
Quite the coincidence.
This watch was clearly more expensive than the one Jeremy had given her, a custo model, with a sapphire crystal face that sketched out a constellation.
The length of the strap was just right, fitting snugly around her wrist, and even had he initials engraved on it. Matching Curtis' own wristwatch, except hers was circled with a ring of shining diamon more delicate and refined, while his was a subdued men's model.
It probably still held a bit of Curtis' warmth, being kept close to him. Leanne tried to pull her hand away, but he was quick to secure the strap.
"Happy Birthday," Curtis said, letting go.
Just as Leanne was about to talk, the watch on her wrist chimed softly twice.
It sounded like skind of alert, pleasant and light, not enough to disturb anyone, but sufficient to remind its wearer.

"What's this?" Leanne lifted her wrist to examine it more closely, finding nothing unusual, "Why did it chime?" "I've installed a chip that monitors the heart rate to detect when one is smitten," Curtis deadpanned, "It chiming means I'm currently smitten with you." He said, raising an eyebrow slightly, "But what are you smitten with?" Leanne rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think I'm stupid?" She immediately tried to take the watch off, but Curtis pulled her hand away. “Just a reminder, since you seem to forget, I'm human too. Leanne, you could be a bit more nicer to me." it away.
Setting aside the fact it was Curtis, it was indeed rude to remove a gift right Too bad she couldn't set that aside.

Leanne didn't want his gift and was trying to unclasp the watch when the peculiar chsounded again.
She instinctively looked up, meeting Curtis' half-smiling eyes feeling m inexplicably guilty at the sound.
"I Before she could unclasp it, Curtis handed her the cake, making her hold it with both hands, and nonchalantly said, "It'll stop once you go inside." Really? Leanne couldn't figure out what the deal was with the chime.
After saying that, he turned her around and lightly pushed her on the lower back.
So, Leanne, completely baffled, walked into the hospital building carrying the cake. Crossing the threshold, the chiming stopped a few steps later.
Leanne turned back.
Curtis stood outside the glass door, pockets tucked, his smile lax yet charming.
His lips barely moved, but she read the word he formed-Idiot.
Leanne didn't know what to say to him.
