Chapter 90 Just det Lost
As I was leaving the Harmon residence, Bob and Darius familles were still there fan told us to leave first, saying that Lily would stay with him and that he’d handle the rest. I was more than happy to wold the ensuing arguments
an had made the final decision, and there was nothing more to discus
In the car, Leonard cautiously asked, “Are we heading back to Emma’s place?”
“Let’s go home.”
I turned to look out the window, not wanting to look at him. He seemed momentarily stunned but quickly nodded.
“Horse, yes. Going home is best. We should go home.”
The entire ride, he kept trying to start conversations, but I didn’t want to say a single word. He also tried to ask what lan and had talked about, although I didn’t want to answer. I had so many questions myself, but i was too exhausted to ask.
As soon as we got home, Leonard pulled me into a tight embrace.
“Eva, I know you hate me, but please, I’m begging you. Give me one more chance, okay? Let’s not get divorced. You can do whatever you want. Just please don’t leave me.
He kept whispering in my ear, and I was truly led up.
“Fine, we won’t get divorced.”
“what did you say?” he asked.
“If you want to leave, that’s fine tou,” answered.
1 looked at him expressionlessly, and he immediately jumped up
*Eva, believe me. I’ll treat you well. We won’t fight anymore, I promise. Thank you for giving me another chance. Thank you, really!!
He hugged me tightly and kissed me hard. Then, he quickly cummaged through his pockets and pulled out our wedding rings
“Eva, since we’re not getting divorced, shouldn’t you”
Before he could finish, Isipped the ring back onto my linger
“Is this good enough?”
Leonard nodded dumbly, and returned to the bedroom to search for my nightgow
The familar yet foreign feeling on my ring finger caught my attention. I looked at the wedding ring–it need to have been rested, now fitting me perfectly.
That was typical of Leonard, always paying attention to the smallest details.
When he treated you well, you felt like the whole world was yours. But when he didn’t…
I shook my head hard, pulling out a random nightgown and a pair of panties.
Given the situation, couldn’t stay at Emma’s place anymore. Otherwise, the media would have a field day. But I wasn’t going to sleep in the same bed as Leonard, especially not the bed that Lily might have slept in.
Seeing my actions, Leonard panicked again.
“Eve, didn’t you say you were coming back home? Are you leaving again?”
I’m not leaving. I’m just going to take a bath. Then, I’m heading to the guest room.”
I grabbed my change of clothes and headed to the bathroom.
I could feel him pacing outside the bathroom door for the longest tune, but he didn’t come in. Even if he had, I would have kicked him out.
The thought of him having a child with another woman made me physically sick. When I thought of Lily being pregnant, Tacholy started to gag.
Sensing that he was about to come in, 1 quickly wrapped myself in a towel, not wanting him to see the scars on my chest. I had led to him before, saying it was fromacyst. removal, and he had actually beloved it.
But I doubted the same excuse would work again, and he might start getting suspicious.
Leonard opened the door, just a crack.
He agreed immediately and left. I stood there, leaning against the wall for a long time.
The next day at work, Emma sneakily pulled me aside, and thiefly explained what had happened. She was stunned, unable to speak for minutes
