Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 369

Chapter 369 Is It Impossible

"You have a baby with Amelia. What's there to talk about?" Jill directly stood in front of me and prevented Leonard from approaching me.

I also looked at him and shook my head. "I've said what needs to be said. There's nothing left to say between us."

"That's not it, Eva. 1-I'm just trying to apologize to you properly. I know that this is all my fault. I shouldn't have distrusted you." Leonard gripped his sleeves tightly, Joolding like a little boy who made a mistake.

"I'm sorry. I honestly didn't know about all that, but I know I was in the wrong nonetheless. I might not have known about it, but that's no excuse for how 1 treated you

"In fact, I was very happy when you returned to the country. I was also thrilled to know that I could help you thinking that you did me wrong. So, I intended to restore some of my dignity. That was why I"

all my damned pride's fault. I kept

"Is that the reason you paraded all sorts of women before her every day? Is that why you brought someone as cumperent as Lily to Harmon Group to tick Eva off? Is that your excuse for not giving her money when she needed surgery? You even bought jewelry for your mistress." Jill bluntly interrupted Leonard. She continued to ask, "Do you even believe the crap that's coming out of your mouth, Leonard? If you were in Eva's shoes, would you have forgiven yourself?"

"Jill." I tugged at her arm lightly. If she and Caleb actually became an item, she'd have to see Leonard on a frequent basis.

I didn't want Jill to be put in a difficult situation in the future. So, I held her hand down forcefully. Only then did she sit on my bed angrily.

I gave Leonard a blank look. "We've said what needs to be said, Leonard. Both of us are at fault. That makes yourself feel better, then I'll gracefully accept it. You may leave now."

us even. If you have to apologize to make

Leonard was rooted to the spot. He probably didn't believe that I could be this calm. The fact was that I had my fair share of crying my eyes out. Now, there were honestly no more tears left in me.

The doctor said that I couldn't get myself worked up too much. I could no longer distinguish the difference between falling asleep and passing out. I was at death's door. What good would it do for me if I kept getting tangled up in these petty matters? "Eva, actually..."

"Jill said that Amelia gave birth to a boy. Congratulations. You finally have your own flesh and blood. I can't become a mother anymore, Leonard You should appreciate the boy properly."

I lowered my gaze. I was as indifferent as I was calm. It was just that I still instinctively rubbed my belly. There used to be a baby inside my belly too. It was a baby that belonged to both of us.

"Our baby.."

"Our baby couldn't have been born in the first place. I'm aware of that." I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I didn't blame him, but I didn't want him to beat himself over it either

Leonard remained where he stood for a long time. He didn't say anything the whole time. Meanwhile, Jill felt a little awkward and kept holding my hand. As for me, I trained my gaze on Leonard. Back when we had just gotten together, we'd lovingly stare at each other in a similar manner. He'd then send me back to my dorm, where we'd spend a good few minutes looking into each other's eyes.

Back then, Emma grumbled that we were so sappy that it gave

goosebumps. All I felt was that it was sweet.

Now, however, there were no extra emotions in my eyes. Our marriage might've started strong and happy, but we took different paths and parted ways eventually. What mattered was that we once shared some beautiful moments. "Is there no possibility between us, Eva?"

"Yeah," 1 responded firmly. I saw his face fall as he got more disappointed by the second. The fact was that he knew my character well. There was no we'd be patching things up under these circumstances.

I was will trapped by my emotions after Leonard left the ward. Jill had to pinch my hand gently.

"Are you okry, Eva

Dway

"I'm fine. I'm great," I looked at the door. Instead of feeling a weight being lifted from my shoulders, I felt this bitterness that couldn't be described with July words.
