Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 You Are The Baby’s Father 

My hand holding the spoon paused. Then, I continued to reach for food. 

“Didn’t we anticipate this from the start? What is there to prepare? I’ve spoken to Caleb earlier to convince Leonard to divorce me.” 

Emma pouted. “Even pregnancy couldn’t keep Amelia away. She would still come to the company occasionally. While you were away the past few days, she pranced around as if she was the lady of the house. I thought she was desperate to keep her baby. Why is she causing trouble everywhere she goes?” 

“There might be something wrong with the baby” 

I told her what had happened earlier. 

Emma moved her lips. She attempted to say something a few times, but no words came out. 

Taking advantage of her momentary gaze, I ate the last potato wedge and wiped my 

“So, I want to get a divorce while her baby is still around. Otherwise…” 

It would be harder to get a divorce after. 

I didn’t finish the last part of my sentence, but Emma knew what I was implying. 

mouth. 

The next day, I discharged myself from the hospital. In reality, I did this so Leonard would 

know. 

Jill said this VIP ward would be my place of retreat from now on. 

In fact, I wanted to tell her it would be even better if it had a seaside view. 

However, I thought of the work in my hands and decided to forego the idea of a vacation. 

Many applied for the cross–province project, so everyone at Harmon Group was working overtime. Everyone’s energy and effort were focused on this project. 

This was my one shot at soaring to the top, so I would occasionally work overtime too. 

There weren’t many design issues. I also made the relevant calculations for the initial cost. 

However, other companies were equally competitive. I wasn’t sure if I would succeed. 

I was anxious about the last internal company meeting. 

Jean and Crystal updated us on the design’s current status. I saw Leonard let out a long sigh. 

“Thank 

you for 

your hard work, everyone. The bidding conference is just around the corner. Keep it up, everyone.” 

The rest of the work involved wrapping up the project. I let out a sigh of relief when no one

objected to it. 

If we had to amend the design, we would lose the bidding opportunity.

Before leaving the meeting room, Leonard called for me and said he wanted to smooth over some details. 

However, I knew he never intended to talk about work. 

“Eva, Amelia and I…” 

It was as I expected. What was meant to happen had finally happened. 

I looked at how torn he was and raised my hand to stop him. 

“It’s okay. I understand. You are the baby’s father, after all.‘ 

1 had calmed down a lot recently. The matter between Amelia and him had slowly lost my 

attention. 

Work was important, and my medical treatment was critical. Where would I find the time to 

care about him? 

Leonard seemed surprised at how calm I was and was at a loss for words. 

I was reminded that the project was about to end. Zack had also found a new location for me to work. I hesitated before finally speaking up. 

“Leonard, please quicken the divorce process. We don’t have any assets to split between us. I can forgo some of them. Please get the process running as soon as possible.” 

I wasn’t a saint, but I didn’t want the business Leonard had fought hard for many years. 

I only wanted sufficient money to seek medical treatment. 

Leonard opened his mouth, and a weird sound came from his throat. 

I was about to turn and leave when he slumped on the chair, deflated. 

“Eva, are you so eager to get a divorce? Can’t you give me one more chance?” 

I stopped in my tracks but did not turn around. 

There was no way it could work between us; he knew that long ago. 

He would never abandon the baby; I didn’t want to tell him about my condition either. 

Seconds had passed before he said, “Can we wait until the project ends before discussing our divorce?” 

I took a deep breath and answered, “Okay.”
