Chapter 820
People do not become close unless they have something in common.
Jennifer had not believed that before.
She had thought she was nothing like Stella.
She had even believed Leon was nothing like Evan.
But if they were so different, how could they have been such good friends?
The things Stella had done after being pushed to the edge…
Jennifer could do them too.
Leon’s harsh breathing came through the phone, cold with anger.
“Wait until I get back.”
“I can’t wait. Not even one minute.”
Wait?
Evan had once made Stella wait too.
And Stella had waited.
What had that gotten her?
So now that Leon was telling Jennifer to wait, there was no chance she would.
“I’m not waiting.”
“Do you have to do this?”
“Yes.”
Jennifer answered without hesitation.
Yes, she did.
He could leave with Monique.
So he had no right to interfere with whatever Jennifer chose to do next.
For the first time, Leon seemed to truly believe that Lennifer might actually do something extreme.
Finally, he said, “Put the housekeeper on ”
“You’re on speaker Go ahead.”
“Let her leave.”
“Yes, sir.”
After receiving Leon’s order, the housekeeper looked at Jennifer and stepped aside
Jennifer was satisfied with that result.
She had just started toward the door when Leon’s cold voice came through the phone again
“If you do anything to the baby, I’ll make you regret it.”

Jennifer went still.
Even now, he was still trying to threaten her?
She did not bother responding.
She ended the call.
At the hospital, Leon stared at the disconnected screen, a vein standing out at his temple.
Monique cried out as the doctor cleaned the cut on her cheek.
“Ah…”
“Try to hold still,” the doctor said patiently. “It’s only disinfectant. Luckily, the cut isn’t deep. Otherwise, you might have
needed stitches, and it could have left a scar.”
At the mention of a scar, Monique looked at Leon and bit back a sob.
It was perhaps the most vulnerable expression he had ever seen from her.
She had never looked at him like that before.
Her eyes were wet, delicate, almost pitiful.
Leon stepped inside with a dark expression.
He looked at Monique as if he wanted to say something, but for a moment, he did not know what.
“Don’t argue with Ms. Tanner because of me,” Monique said softly. “She didn’t mean to hurt me.”
Leon said nothing.
He did not know whether Jennifer had meant it.
From where he had been standing, he had not seen everything clearly.
But there was something else he needed to ask.
“Why were you there?”
His tone was noticeably colder.
Jennifer had only arrived there last night.
And it was not even a house Leon used often.
How had Monique found it?
