Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Clinging to Him

I barely remember how I left the Harmon residence.

Mr. Harmon Senior told me not to rush and that he'd try to talk some sense into Leonard, but none of it registered.

Amelia had moved into the Harmon residence, and Leonard was protecting her. Amelia's look of disdain toward me suddenly made sense.

If Leonard had accepted Amelia from the beginning and if she had somehow manipulated the situation, it was natural that he didn't want to remember me.

I'm not sure if psychology could explain such an effect, but I can't shake the feeling that something was off.

I couldn't understand why Amelia was doing this. Leonard would eventually regain his memory, wouldn't he?

I spent the whole night mulling it over, and by the time I got to work the next day, I was mentally exhausted.

I couldn't shake the thought of why Amelia would go to such lengths. Leonard and I had never wronged her, so what was her motive?

During the morning meeting, I made the same mistake three times before canceling it altogether. Sensing my distraction, Emma pulled me aside into the hallway.

"What's going on? I heard Leonard made a scene at Mr. Harmon's birthday party again yesterday," she said, concern lacing her voice.

I nodded, then hesitated before asking, "Did Amelia and I ever have beef?"

"Huh?" Avery Looked at me like I had just said something ridiculous. She blinked, clearly thrown off by the question.

And honestly, I felt ridiculous, too. Amelia and I had shared a dorm for four years in college- there was never any animosity between us. If there had been, we wouldn't have stayed in touch all this time. -But now, I was starting to wonder if there was something more I wasn't seeing.

Right then, Leonard and Amelia approached the elevator together, and I rushed toward them.

"Leonard, the specialist team is leaving this afternoon. I still think you should go for the consultation," I urged. If he had gone through the check-up, everything may have become clear.

Before Leonard could reject me, Amella stepped in front of him.

"Eva, can you stop being so clingy? Leonard's fine. Why do you insist on dragging him to the hospital?" she snapped, clutching Leonard's arm tightly, her eyes glaring at me. Emma, who had followed me, paused briefly at the scene but then moved to stand between us.

"You call this fine? His brain isn't even functioning properly!" Emma shot back. "Amelia, are you out of your mind? You do know that he's Eva's husband, right?"

"He doesn't love her anymore," Amelia murmured, lowering her gaze, her voice soft but firm.

Leonard immediately echoed her words. "It's not that I don't love her anymore. I never loved her. "Emma, you're out of your mind. Aren't you Amelia's best friend? Why are you on Eva's side?"

"Besties, my ass! I've always been closest to Eva. Who are you trying to fool?"

Amelia looked as if she'd been struck. Her face reddened with frustration as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to escalate things.

"Leonard, you've lost it. Have you seriously forgotten how you begged me to take time off to bring Eva her favorite snacks? How about the time you pleaded with me to get her a heating pad?

"Or when you couldn't make it back and begged me to bring her an umbrella? Have you forgotten all the love you showered her with during college? You've forgotten your own wife?!

"Shut up, Emma!" Amelia's voice suddenly cut through the tension, sharper and louder than before.

But Emma wasn't backing down.

"Amelia, give it a rest. You've been clinging to Leonard since college. Did you think no one noticed?

"And after you found out Eva was pursuing him, did you forget how many times you tried to sabotage her? Did you forget that you begged me not to tell anyone?"

Emma's words left everyone stunned, including me.

It was no secret that I had pursued Leonard during college-everyone knew that even Jill had backed off once she realized I was serious about him. But was Amelia trying to sabotage me? I had no idea.

I suddenly recalled... "So, that one time Leonard didn't show up for our date..."

Yeah, that was her doing!" Emma's eyes were red with anger as she pointed accusingly at Amelia, her hand trembling, clearly wanting to drill a hole through Amelia's face with her finger.
