NovelEnglishChapter 112 Compared to Curtis, who thrived on ribbing her poking fun, and generally giving her a hard time, she naturally enjoyed spending twith Phillip, who was stable and gentlemanly. Her fondness for him did not stem from romantic feelings. After all, he was seven years her senior. When Leanne first arrived at the Richardson family as a child, he was already a grown man.
To Leanne, Phillip was a beacon of warmth and reliability, a figure of trust for a little orphan girl guided by her instinct to seek comfort and avoid harm.
If she had to marry into the Richardson family, Phillip was the safer bet than Curtis.
Looking back over the past three years, she thought events had proven her initial thought correct.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll she wanted was to fulfill Mary's wish by marrying into the Richardson family, quietly getting through three years, and then getting a divorce.
But Curtis insisted on meddling with her, seducing her, and then abandoning her.
If only it had been Phillip.
He was a good man. Even if he didn't love her, he would at least respect her and not harm, her.
When news cthat Mary was back in town but under the weather, the house was abuzz with visitors throughout the day.
The Perez family had also dropped by.
Mary mentioned over the phone, "I haven't seen Devin in ages. I do miss him.” When she cover, Brenda had dragged Devin out of bed by his ears, where he'd been sleeping off a night of shenanigans, and brought him straight to the Richardson family.
Finding himself half-asleep and Curtis nowhere to be found, Devin's energy levels dropped even more. He slumped in the living room, listening to the elders chatting and yawning until he dozed off on the couch.
When he woke up, to his surprise, it was already afternoon, and his mother and sister-in-law were gone.
"Damn," Devin muttered in confusion, “Did my mom just ditch me?" Mary sat across from him, looking gentle. "You're family. Just make yourself at home. If you're tired, sleep. Curtis will be hsoon. Here, have sfruits." Chapter 112 Sarah brought in a feast of snacks and drinks. Devin, wh spent plenty of twith the Richardson family since little, felt right at home. Whatever Mary offered, he ate without hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile he was enjoying the food, Mary sighed sadly. "Curtis and Leanne have been arguing again. For the life of me, I don't know what about. I'm old, and they don't tellanything, leavingto worry." "They're divorced now. Why bother about them?" Devin said, "Curtis has a crush on Suzan. Just let them get married." Mary looked at him, "Did Curtis tell you that?" "Uh, um, isn't it obvious?" To Devin, the fact that Curtis loves Suzan is as clear as day. But if you asked him if the grass had ever declared itself green, he'd be stumped.
"They've been dating for ages. Suzan went abroad for college, and Curtis waited years for her. If Leanne hadn't cbetween them, they would've been married by now." "They broke up a long tago." Mary retorted, Yeah, before the wedding." Mary sighed and realized that his connection to current events was slower than hers.
"They broke up when Suzan went to study abroad." she said.
Devin ack automatically, "Oh please, as if you're such a know-it-all."
ut to say sorry when Mary snapped, "I know my own family's business, of can't carry on this conversation with you. You're a complete fool. You have no-anding of what's happening,” she said as she stood up, dismissing the idea of any information from him. "Useless. I could be offline for three years and still w more than you." Devin was left doubting the authenticity of his relationship with Curtis.
"No, seriously, how did I not know they split? Weren't they in a good om relationship? After the wedding, didn't Curtis go to Emberland to see her, staying for over two years before he recently returned?" "He went to Starlake City because of Bullion Boulevard, the world's financial hub. It wasn't because of Suzan."
