Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212 A Child Connected by Blood 

“Leonard, have you lost your mind? Do you even realize what you’re saying?” 

Aunt Leah rushed to grab his arm, but he shook her off without a second thought. 

Mr. Harmon Senior’s chest heaved with anger, unable to get a word out. 

Leonard’s gaze drifted over us before walking to the door, once again taking Amelia’s hand. 

“I told you I only love her. I want this divorce. 

“I’ll have the lawyer draft the divorce agreement and send it over. Let’s end this on good terms.” 

With that, he grabbed Amelia’s hand and left without another word. 

I quietly closed the door behind them and sat back down. It felt like my heart had already shattered, so nothing else could hurt me now. 

Aunt Leah tried to say something, but it took her a while before she finally spoke. “Don’t take it personally. Once he remembers…” 

“When will that be?” I asked softly, looking down at the floor with no real emotion left in my 

voice. 

The doctor had said about a month, but it had been almost one month now, and all Leonard seemed to do was grow more attached to Amelia, He didn’t remember me at all. 

I had no idea what kind of person I was in his mind, but I knew I wasn’t the one he loved. 

Mr. Harmon Senior took a few deep breaths, his breathing heavy and labored. 

Finally, he spoke. “Eva, he’s wronged you, and one day he’ll make it up to you. But this baby…” 

“The baby has to go, Mr. Harmon Senior. You understand that, don’t you?” I said, my eyes burning as I fought to keep the tears from falling 

I knew all too well how much Leonard wanted a child. 

Even though he now had a family, he still longed for a child who shared his bloodline. 

And, in a way, I felt the same. 

I had no family left. I wanted a child who was part of me. 

But this child… It wasn’t meant to be. 

Aunt Leah couldn’t bear it either, and her eyes reddened with tears. 

“Eva, you two are still young. There’ll be time later, I promise. 

Chapy 12 A Chila Connected by Flood 

“I’ve seen so many women in their 40s having children these days. Don’t worry.” 

I said nothing, lowering my head again. In my heart, I wasn’t sure I’d even live long enough to 

see 40. 

The tension in the study grew unbearable until Uncle Bob and Aunt Ivy, who had just finished seeing off the guests, entered the room. Aunt Ivy shot me a disdainful glance before going straight to Mr. Harmon Senior’s side. 

“You know how Leonard is. He was just as determined when he insisted on marrying Eva,” she said. 

“When a man doesn’t love you anymore, he’s really done. It’s better just to let them divorce.” 

I’ve always thought she never thought much about me. 

It didn’t matter to her whether Leonard was married to me or Amelia. 

But if Leonard was seen as unfaithful and fickle, his reputation would take a hit, and the company would suffer. In the end, only Luca would stand to gain.
