Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Take Charge I didn't really want to have a child right now, but after losing my family, I suddenly had a deeper understanding of how Leonard felt back ther Back then, he still had a grandmother who created him like her own son, but I had no one left.

that somer loved or a child of my own, I would have a family then.

When I remembered the existence of IVF and sperm hands, I had hope aprin Why couldn't have children without a man, anyway? I would have a child if I wanted to, and I wouldn't have any if I didn't want to Now, my job was to support Leonard and take care of my body 1 also had to find out the truth behind my father's death.

when I arrived home, I was surprised to find that Leonard wasn't at work. He even personally prepared a meal. "Why are you home?! "cback to get a document. Inoticed that you weren't home, so I decided to cook a meal for you. You said that you're not feeling well, right? I glanced at the shoes placed at the entrance. It was only then that I realized that he had wom sports shoes this morning. He must have gone out to buy groceries. Back then, I was so focused on going to the hospital that overlooked the details, "Where have you gone? You said that you're not feeling well, didn't you? He carefully studied my expression, but I didn't want to tell him anything at all.

I had already told him everything I should last night. He just didn't believe me.

He looked like he wanted to ask more questions, so thastily changed the subject.

"What if Luca causes trouble while you're not at work? What exactly was Tan thinking? Does he really want you two to compete with each other? "Also, Lucas trying to intervene in the project with Brightwave Group, I've already ended him off, but he might try again." The most Lily could do was to giveminor problems at work, bet Loca was diffemt.

When an allowed Luca to join the company, he was practically declaring war.

I didn't know whether there was a deal between them or not, but I knew for sure that there was more to Luca's arrival than met the eye. Leonard's expression med stern at the mention of work "Grandpa only said that Luca is here to help out, so can't really say much about it. After all, I'm not the biggest shareholder in the company." Inodded. Indeed, most of Harmon Group's shares were still in lan's hands, Even back when I was married, Iwas promised of the shares, but it was by nonly. The shares would only be transferred toafter I had given birth. "Let's check if there's anything off with the partners, We don't want incidents like the one with Hatchworks to happen ag The previous incident was resolved, but who knew when something similar might happen again? As long as Lily was still around, we might run into similar problems in the future.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to investigate. We'll be fine" Leonard had already considered that possibility early on. I was much more assured now.

But when I thought of the current project, I asked tently, "What do you think of the overpass? Harmon Group- can't take over such a huge project "Brightwave Group's project team is quite capable, and they have the hands, too what do you think?" The design for the project had passed the review, but construction was still a huge problem. There were also various procedures we hadn't dealt with yet Harmon Group had too many projects at the moment. It would be wonderful if we could partner up with Zack, though.

However, I was very sure that Leonard had lingering concerns, so he might not be willing to establish a partnership with Zack.

Sure rough, Leonard rejected my suggestion right away.

"I won't partner with Zack The current project will be our last tworking together." His words sounded like he was sulding.

After all, they were in the sindustry. They would have to collaborate in the future, one way or another.

Still, Leonard looked atin fury, "I won't give Zack a chance to get close to you. He definitely has indecent thoughts about you. He started approaching you back in college, and know all about it. He has ulterior motives, and he's after your looks" I took off my wig in exasperation. Leonard's expression froze for an instant Ishngred. "See? Even you are startled by this, let alone him. There's nothing desirable about my looks anymore, so don't worry." Even so, I won't have any of a!" Leonard hastily put the wig back on my head. Yet, he couldn't align it properly. a the end, he gave up and pulledinto his embrace.

"Eva, please don't end up with him. You promisedthat you won't lea divorce." "Don't worry, I'm not the type to get into extramarital affairs." Ispoke without emotion.

Tould feel Leonard's body stiffen for a bit. Then, he pushedaway He had a hunt look in his eyes. "You still can't forgive me.can you?' "What do you think? Would you have any capacity for forgiveness If you were me? Chapter 96 Take Charge With that, I stood up to get back to my rooms. Coexisting peacefully with him was already the most could do.

He walked up toand blocked my path. "Eval" But then, his phone rang. I sighed in relief.

Unexpectedly, there really was a problem with the material supply.

We had secured a deal with a supplier, but the manager ran away with the money. The supplier couldn't provide the materials, either. "Damn it, why does this have to happen now? We have tons of projects waiting for those materials!"

I had told Leonard before that he shouldn't collaborate with just one supplier. He shouldn't put all his eggs in one basket. "Eva, I have to go on a trip to look for suitable suppliers. You- "No, I'll go."

I stopped him. "Tcan't rest assured with Luca in the company. You have to take charge. I'll get a supplier, so En don't worry,"
