Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140

Leila nudges Kelvin with a playful smile on her lips but he smiles wryly at her, a smile that barely reaches his eyes.

She doesn’t miss it and she knows it’s because he thinks she may still have feelings for Tatum.

Why can’t he understand that Tatum is as far from her heart as the sun is from the earth, if not more^

How can she get him to see and believe that?

She turns to her mom.

“Mom, I saw some men doing some work on the land dad was going to build his mall on, is that you?”

Liana scoffs, a nasty sneer covering her eyes.

“I wish it was,” she replies, taking a sip from her drink and her eyes turn sombre.

“About a month ago, I got a letter from the council of elders that the land hasn’t been developed in two decades and by law, they have the right to repossess it and give it to a new owner, of course after giving us due compensation. Trust your mother to refuse and provide proof that your father has only owned the land for nineteen years and eight months, making them halt on the matter and then three days ago, out of nowhere, I’m accused of killing my late husband,” Liana scoffs softly, a truly sad smile adorning her lips.

“Can you imagine it?” Her eyes coat with tears and she struggles to hold it from falling. “They are not even being subtle about it.”

Leila frowns. It is one thing for Tatum and his pack members to judge her wrongly and condemn her to her death but trying to usurp her family’s inheritance afterwards?

How did she ever fall in love with such a heartless man?
