GoodReadChapter 229 The first tJeremy laid eyes on Leanne was back in their college days He and Curtis were dassmates, and one day, for a group project, they went over to Curte place, the Richardson household Curtis was a sort of golden boy, especially in economics, where even professors admired his talent.

It wasn't until they heard a car pull up outside that Curtis, who seemed barely awake till then, suddenly kicked the guy sitting opposite him.

Since it was his house, the guy reluctantly stubbed out his cigarette in an ashtray a maid had brought over, muttering, "Been smoking here for ages, and now you notice."

Jeremy knew better then to harbor any inappropriate thoughts after that, but occasionally, he'd hear about her through the grapevine, about how she wasn't treated well, which made him feel sorry for her He hadn't expected Curtis to truly love Leanne.
It was surprising, yet somehow expected, leaving Jeremy with a sense of missed opportunity and regres He knew well enough, the women Curtis liked were off-limits to everyone else.
Whether it was that early summer eight years ago or the the presentday, he had lost his chance right from the 上 start. When Leanne got out of her car at home, she found a message from Jeremy "Leanne, I'm sorry for putting you in an uncomfortable situation today" 12
