Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo )
Leanne Castillo had always seen Curtis Richardson as a charming but fickle man. It wasn’t until after their marriage that she realized how cold-hearted he could truly be.
She thought Curtis loved her, only to find in the end that she had been fooling herself, a joke of her own making. The one Curtis truly loved had always been someone else.

However, the expected divorce never came. Instead, people stumbled upon a surprising scene: a humbled Curtis Richardson, a man normally radiating wealth and power, bowing in front of Leanne, pressing her hand, begging in a near-whisper, “Leanne, could you find it in your heart to love me again?”
