Chapter 265 Make It Worth Your While
I looked at Mr. Harmon Senior in confusion. Then, I looked at Emilia, who stood next to him. There were some inexplicable emotions in her eyes, and I couldn’t make sense of it. However, she shook her head. I knew she was telling me not to talk about it first. I followed Mr. Harmon Senior into the ward, isolating everyone else. Leonard merely lay on the bed quietly. There weren’t even any expressions on his face.
I didn’t think Leonard had been this quiet ever. From the day I knew him, he had loved chatting and laughing. He would frown all the time after our relationship turned sour. The point was, he had never worn a peaceful look on his face.
I was reminded of Mr. Harmon Senior’s presence and quickly gathered my thoughts. “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Harmon Senior?”
“It seems like you’re no longer calling me ‘grandpa.”” Mr. Harmon Senior sat in front of the hospital bed and focused his gaze on Leonard.
I lowered my gaze. As a failed daughter-in-law, I should give up my status, now that someone else was already calling him “grandpa.”
More to the point, Mr. Harmon Senior didn’t stop Amelia from addressing him that way. Back when I got married to Leonard, he didn’t allow me to call him “grandpa” until after two years.
“Leonard’s parents are gone, Eva. I’ve always thought I was alone for the longest time. Fortunately, he was still alive.
“I only have one grandson, and it goes without saying that I love him. However, would you take a look at what he had turned into now?” Mr. Harmon Senior sounded choked up as if he didn’t want to think about what happened back then.
I was aware that Leonard was kidnapped, and that led to his parents’ death. That was why he had always wanted a family that was connected to him by blood, and he was always very respectful of Mr. Harmon Senior.
I could relate to the feeling when someone without flesh and blood yearning to form a family of his own.
Mr. Harmon Senior wiped tears from his face. Then, he turned around and gave me a somewhat solemn look. “I’ve told you two before, Eva. Get working on making a baby, but you two just wouldn’t listen to me.
“Now, Leonard’s like this, and your health is less than ideal. How are you two supposed to make a baby now?”
There he went with the topic of babies again. I lowered my head and remained quiet. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. I can’t get pregnant for now, and I didn’t know if I could in Chappé 265 Make It Worth Your While
three years.
If we were focusing solely on the idea of extending the family lineage, I really should’ve divorced Leonard. That was the original plan as well.
“Amelia has been pregnant for less than a month.”
“Huh?” I looked at Mr. Harmon Senior somewhat incredulously.
“She’s having Leonard’s baby.” This time, Mr. Harmon Senior spoke with a firm tone.
I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything for a long time. I thought about how Leonard. and Amelia stayed in the Harmon residence the whole time, and my mind was all jumbled up.
So, did that mean Mr. Harmon Senior was aware that both of them had been staying together? A sense of humiliation rose within my chest. At that moment, I was tempted to just leave. It hadn’t even been that long since I lost my baby. How was it that they made their own baby already?
With that said, I remained standing there for a reason. It was almost as if I couldn’t move because I was waiting for a verdict.
“Eva. I know that the Harmon family did wrong by that. Leonard’s also…
“However, his mind is all messed up. This isn’t something he would’ve wanted. You should know this. You know him better than anyone else.”
Tears streamed down my face. I bit my lower lip firmly, trying hard to not sob. I wiped tears from my face and asked, “So?”
I stared at Mr. Harmon Senior with unblinking eyes. There weren’t any emotions in his eyes He was talking about this as if it was someone else’s problem.
“You owe Leonard, and it isn’t suitable for you two to get divorced now. Amelia can’t abort her baby. We don’t know if this baby will be Leonard’s last.
“Although I’ll completely do you dirty, I don’t have a choice either.” Mr. Harmon Senior rose to his feet and stood in front of me. “Secure the project for Harmon Group, and I’ll make it worth your while.”
