Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

The moment Tatum sees Lella stepping out of the car, he blanks, finding his tongue tied.

His heart has been racing at the anticipation of seeing her after this time apar deny it.

“What did you say to Carmela?”

he misses her, he can’t

The words hurriedly force their way out of his mouth for lack of a better opening but the moment Leila’s calm expression shifts, he regrets it.

“What did she say I said to her? Did she say I tried to gouge her eyes out? Are you here to take my own eyes?” Leila fires at him coldly, leaving him at a loss of words with his mouth agape.

Gouge her eyes out? Even if she did gouge Carmela’s eyes out, he couldn’t bring himself to do anything to those beautiful ocean orbs of hers.

The most pretty eyes he has ever seen, on the most pretty woman he has ever seen.

“Leila, calm down,” He tries to hold her but she flinches away, her cold eyes boring holes into his heart. “Don’t touch me! You always believe everything she says, even when the truth is staring you in the face, you turn a blind eye,” Leila’s voice breaks at the end of her statement and he sees her fighting back her tears.

His heart shatters at the sight, feeling a jarring pain sear through him.

Has he really neglected to take her side so much for the sake of duty that even a little question as what he asked would upset her this much?

He doesn’t want to hurt her but somehow he ends up doing just that. This is all his fault and he really wants to fix it but how do you fix a problem that doesn’t want to be fixed?

“I’m not here for any of that, get a grip of yourself,” he says in a hard tone and Leila’s eyes snap to his, her lips trembling but she doesn’t say anything.

Carmela did tell him that she was bullied by Leila but he knows that Leila would never do such a thing.

“You accuse me of always taking her side and here I am asking for your version and this is how you behave?”

He scolds her, hating that he has to but if this is the only way he can get her to calm down and talk to him, then he has to bear it.

He doesn’t even care what happened between her and Carmela. For him, he found a perfect excuse to come and see her after fighting the urge for days.
