Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Staying In The Shadows 

I turned around and looked at him. “Alright then, Let’s sign an agreement for now. Otherwise, dividing the assets would be messy.” 

This was what the Harmons were concerned about the most. Otherwise, why would they take away my shares?” 

The wealthier they were, the stingier they tended to be. If they had given me a little more, I would never have heard the end of it from Uncle Bob’s family. 

The Harmons were concerned about money and how much an outsider would take from them. 

I had nothing to do with the previous incident, but I had to take the blame because Amelia was pregnant with a Harmon. 

I was unhappy, but I didn’t want to argue further. 

However, this time, I would like to go through the divorce gloriously and not drag it on any longer. 

Leonard frowned. “You’re so eager to get divorced, huh?” 

I knew he was angry, but I didn’t know what was there for him to be angry about. 

Was it expecting me to stay married to him and take care of his and Amelia’s baby for the rest of my life? 

Or was I expected to carry the title of Mrs. Harmon while they could live happily ever after as a family of three? 

I was slightly angry and frustrated. 

“I know we can’t afford to do anything to jeopardize the project. I can sign an agreement in private. While the project ends, we will head to civil affairs.” 

This was also my initial idea. It probably wouldn’t take too long after the bidding project was 

completed. 

My involvement during construction and later–stage supervision was unnecessary and would not affect the company. 

Plus, Amelia’s baby would have survived the critical period of three months. We would know for sure if the baby was to stay. 

So, it was best to get a divorce after the bidding project was over. 

Plus, we were in a cooling–off period for a divorce, so getting a divorce now wouldn’t be easy. 

“No.” 

Chappen Staying in The Shadows 

Leonard strongly objected to my suggestion. 

“If word slips out, it’ll bring shame to the company.” 

1 almost laughed at his statement. 

Our divorce had dragged on for so long. He had been in countless affairs for a few years. Would getting a divorce now really bring shame to the company? 

I was about to retort when Amelia entered, holding her belly. 

Her pregnancy wasn’t visible yet, but she would hold her belly when she walked around, afraid others wouldn’t be aware she was pregnant. 

She glanced at me disdainfully. “Eva, you can’t get away with shaming the company just to get the money faster. It’s not that Leo doesn’t want a divorce from you, but he would never want the baby to be a bastard. Am I right, Leo?” 

Amelia, who was always indifferent and cold, spoke in a coy voice. My hair stood on end when 

I heard it. 

Perhaps Leonard was concerned that Amelia’s mood would affect the baby. He didn’t say anything and sat there silently. 

However, Amelia was ecstatic upon receiving his silence.
