Chapter 260 A sleek Mercedes screeched to a halt behind them. Before Devin could hear the rest of the conversation, he was already on his way over.
Joy jumped out of the driver's seat, sporting a cheeky grin that screamed, "Gotcha, didn't I?" She squinted her eyes and chuckled, "Hello there, my admirer." Devin almost choked on his own words, gnashing his teeth, "Leanne, didn't we agree you wouldn't tell her?" "I can't betray my friend for you," Leanne stated, her priorities clear. “I had to ask if she was even interested first." Why wouldn't Joy be interested? She'd love nothing more than to buy a billboard in downtown Stonebridge to announce that Devin, the rascal, was utterly smitten with her.
Strutting with an exaggerated swagger, Joy teased, "Con then, let's see how you plan to wootoday." Gritting his teeth, Devin muttered under his breath, "Woo you? I'll woo you to death." He held his temper, turning to assist Leanne with the grace of a courtier attending to the queen, "Leanne, watch your step, there's a stain." The onlookers at the entrance were speechless.
Leanne, feeling overly pampered, withdrew her arm, "I'm not a baby. Stop fussing over me." The crowd, a mix of locals and those who'd ventured abroad or traveled extensively, found Devin's solicitous behavior towards her baffling.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe other half were just as clueless about the situation, only aware of one thing that Mr. Curtis was now treating Leanne in a very special manner.
Respectfully, they greeted her with, "Hello, Mrs. Richardson." The rest followed suit in greeting her.
For a moment, it felt like a scene out of a where the boss' lady receives homage from the underlings. Leanne wanted to correct them but caught sight of Suzan.
Suzan's ambiguous expression turned into a forced smile upon meeting Leanne's gaze.
Yet, Leanne couldn't even muster a superficial courtesy, promptly looking away.
The atmosphere turned awkward as everyone glanced around, unsure of how to act.
Having witnessed the unfold years ago, they were puzzled about who the real Mrs.
1/2 11:47 Chapter 260 Richardson was now that the two women were together.
"Let's go inside," Devin called out.
The interior resembled a small cinema, adorned with floral decorations that added a romantic touch, though it lacked any birthday-related decor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChairs were arranged in staggered rows facing a massive screen, with the best seat in the house, marked with Leanne's name, in the front and center.
Devin escorted Leanne to her seat, where a spread of fried chicken, pizza, fruit, iced tea, and juice awaited. Leanne was confused, thinking this setup was for Joy, wondering why she wasn't seated in the place of honor. Joy didn't let the details phase her as she popped an iced cola, scoffing, "Really? Your master plan to winover is a movie night? Talk about basic." Devin retorted, "If you don't like it, feel free to leave." "Is this how you pursue someone?" Joy snapped back, "You've got snerve!" Devin swallowed his frustration.
The crowd was clueless about Devin's intentions, jesting, "What's this? A marriage proposal setup?" Joy immediately put her hands up in refusal, "Chasingis one thing, but proposing? No way!"
"Rest easy, anyone proposing to you would be barking mad" Devim m spapped dely as he dimmed the lights.
The giant screen lit up, not with a movie, but with what appeared to be a talk Curtis, dressed in a steek NO three-piece suit, walked into frame, his demeanor m a finance guru than a love-struck suitor. Joy, confused, remarked, "Chasingwith Curtis on screen? What's the ghe Selina, suddenly insightful, said, “This doesn't seem like a courtship." As Curtis appeared on screen, Leanne realized she'd been duped.
Joy was merely a decoy. Devin's real aim was to lure Leanne here.
