Chapter 229
The first time Jeremy 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. However, for a few years, he’d been somewhat of a rebel, seemingly disinterested in most things.
He’d sleep in till late afternoon, and one day, with one of the guys getting bored waiting around, he started smoking in the living room
When Curtis finally came downstairs, he didrit say much, just slumped onto the couch, barely engaging in the conversation.
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.
“Put out the smoke, he commanded.
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.”
Curtis ignored him, his gaze turning towards the door Seconds later, Leanne walked in, fresh from school.
She was in her school uniform, a crisp white blouse and a navy pleated skirt, her hair tied back in a bouncy ponytail.
Her slender, neat figure seemed to bring a breath of fresh, slightly tangy summer air into
the room.
As she bent down to change her shoes, her long, straight legs were on display. When she looked up, her bright eyes and smile were stunning, her features delicate and beautiful.
The room fell inexplicably silent, all the boys in the room were watching her.
By then, Leanne was no longer the shy girl she used to be, but she was still reserved, not keen on mingling with people she didn’t know well.
Seeing the guests, she greeted them from a distance with polite respect, “Hey, guys.”
Curtis asked her, “Want some cherry pie? There’s some in the fridge, just bought it this afternoon.”
She wasn’t particularly warm towards Curtis either, responding, “No, thanks,” before heading to her room.
And that was it, she didn’t come out again before they left.

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 present day, he had lost his chance right from the 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”
