Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133 Polite Greetings 

As expected, it was a thunderous night; there was a heavy downpour all at once. 

When I looked at the sky outside the window, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to sleep that night. 

As expected, once the rain started pouring, Leonard’s phone rang. 

He passed the phone to me helplessly. “Pick it up for me. 

“I don’t want to talk to her. Please hurry up. Can you use a voice–changing app for this?” 

After looking at Alisa’s name on the screen, I felt like she had gone mad. 

Why was she so eager to seduce Leonard? 

I rolled my eyes and picked up the call. Then, I turned up the speakers and gently pinched Leonard’s back. 

“Argh!” Leonard glared at me. 

Just then, Alisa asked, “What happened to you, Leonard?” 

“It’s nothing. I picked up your call too urgently and I accidentally hurt my hand.” 

Leonard held my hand tightly and pulled me to the couch. 

Is anything the matter, Ms. Alisa?”

Once I heard that, I rolled my eyes. What did that have to do with me? If she wanted to stay in the house, she could’ve told Leonard about it. 

Leonard squeezed my hand tightly. “Well, it’s pretty inconvenient for me to go out now because there are puddles everywhere on the road. It isn’t safe.” 

I almost burst out laughing–he could’ve driven over with his SUV. 

However, as I looked at his warning gaze, I tactfully kept quiet. 

“Oh, it was just a casual complaint. How could I bear to put you in danger?” Alisa sounded rather upset and even seemed like she was about to cry. 

“I know you feel bad for me, so that’s enough. Can you talk to me for a while?” 

“Okay…” 

Though I knew that Leonard felt rather irritated, I could only comfort him so that he’d continue talking to 

Alisa. 

Five minutes later, Alisa started complaining about me. 

“Eva has been like this since young, and she has always been defiant. Since she’s pretty, many people

“She liked to play with wealthy children. Back when my family became poor, she started ignoring me. As such, she gradually forgot about me. 

“She still loves money now, right? You probably paid for her clothes and accessories, right?” 

Everything Alisa said was irrelevant.
