Chapter 268

Leanne spent the day picking a date. After work, she took Joy and Selina to Crystal Cove

Villás.

It had been a while since she last visited, and the house felt a lot emptier than when she

left.

Joy burst through the door and headed straight for the second-floor walk-in closet, rummaging through bags as if she were on a raid.

It was Selina’s first visit, and she excitedly ran around exploring.

“This house is gorgeous, way better taste than my dad!”

“I love the color of these hardwood floors!”

“And this lamp is amazing!”

Each lamp in the villa was a designer’s custom creation, unique in design.

The grand chandelier in the high-ceilinged living room was breathtakingly beautiful, dazzling like the Milky Way.

And the lamp by the wall, shimmering like a mermaid’s tail, caught Selina’s eye.

“I want that one!”

Leanne hadn’t expected her to fixate on a lamp looking up at the wiring on the ceiling: “If you like it, take it.”

“Let me call someone.” Selina immediately took out her phone, calling for help while saying, “The decoration in this house could buy another mansion. It’s a shame to sell it. You’re not exactly short on cash. Why not keep it?”

Because living here hadn’t been happy for her. It was all memories, no matter good and bad.

“It’s of no use keeping it. I won’t be coming back.”

Better not to leave anything for herself to reminisce about.

She was too prone to nostalgia.

Leanne went to the bar to get a glass of water and noticed a half-full cup already sitting on the counter.

She always cleaned and put away her cups. Laura, when she was around, cleaned diligently too. Theoretically, that cup shouldn’t have been there.

The water was cold, its temperature revealing nothing about how long it had been there.

Curtis might have forgotten to put it away after taking some medicine last time he was

here.

Leanne washed the cup and put it back.

Upstairs, Joy had bags scattered all over the walk-in closet, lying serenely in the middle with her hands clasped over her stomach.

It was a somewhat eerie sight.

“What are you doing?”

Joy was contemplating life, “I’m thinking, with a husband who never comes home, giving me more pocket money than I can spend, living in a mansion, driving luxury cars, buying Hermes whenever, and having more jewelry than I can wear, isn’t this the life I’ve always dreamed of?”

Leanne was at a loss for words.

Put that way, there really wasn’t anything wrong with that kind of life. If only…

“It’s just a shame you love him.” Joy sighed, “If you didn’t, it would be perfect!”

Joy turned to Selina with a quiz-like expression, “What does this tell us?”

Caught off guard, Selina said, “It means you’re not fit?”

Joy kicked her, “It means a woman should go after a man’s money. Those who go after love end up with nothing, but chase money and you’ll have more than you can spend.”

Selina was almost convinced, “That makes sense.”

“Don’t fill Selina’s head with that thinking. She’s still young,” Leanne interven up, “Let’s clean up and go have dinner.”

“She’s not young at all,” Joy protested. “When she played house as a kid, she’ figured out to have two husbands. One is to make money and support the fam other is to look after the house and pamper her.”
