Chapter 31 Bitch
The following day, I left the down to grab breakfast and spotted Leonard standing ourside the female dormitory.
He wore an awkward smile, but his eyes still held a glimmer of hope. I pretended not to recognize him and walked straight past. He quickly caught up to me, though. “Can we talk?” “There’s nothing to talk about.”
I remembered telling him during our divorce that it would be best if we didn’t see each other again and that we should pretend not to know one another. But clearly, be had forgotten my words. Leonard stepped in front of me, blocking my path.
“Eva, don’t be like this. I just want to see how you’re doing. And why are you in Manovia? Have you been here for half a year? If I hadn’t asked Caleb yesterday, he wouldn’t have told me anything!” “Do I need to report this to you, Mr. Harmon? I looked at him, devoid of emotion
1 had been genuinely happy and doing well in the six months since I left Leonard. I had nearly forgotten about him, yet he sought me out here.
He looked a bit disappointed but quickly plastered on a smile. “No need to report. I’d just like to know if you’re doing alright. I actually asked Emma and went to see Crystal too, but they refused to tell me where you went, I was quite worried.”
I maintained a blank expression, merely listening. What was he worried about? I hadn’t provoked him, nor did 1 appear before them. Wasn’t that good enough?
Seeing genuine concern in his eyes made me lower ny gaze slightly.
If he wanted to find me, he could have easily checked with Julian or used some means to look into my medical records.
Julian was the honest type. After bugging him for some time, he would definitely reveal my whereabouts.
Yet it seemed he hadn’t considered why I had been losing weight or why I kept tainting. He hadn’t even thought about whether I had truly recovered after my miscarriage.
Astrid’s words about him being a jerk echoed in my mind.
The Leonard from the past wasn’t capable of showing me concem, and it seemned that even now, he lacked the motivation to care.
1 stepped aside. “Excuse me, I need to go get my breakfast”
The cafeteria would close in 20 minutes.
But he clearly wasn’t ready to let it go. “Eva, I actually wanted to search for you, but I was afraid you’d get mad. I know you wouldn’t come to look for me unless you wanted to see me. And I’m worried you might hate.” “Then, why did you come to see me?” I was puzzled by his thought process. Why was he bothering me?
Thinking of Amelia made me close my eyes, I said, “Leonard, you’re going to be a father. Can you please take some responsibility? Amelia’s belly seems ready to pop. You should be there to support her.” “The child might not even be born.” Leonard’s voice suddenly sounded a bit defeated, causing me to pause in my steps.
“What do you mean?”
Yesterday, I saw with my av
my own eyes that Amelia was in good shape. She looked rosy and seemed to have gained quite a bit of weight. How could she not give birth to the baby? If there were complications, they could always opt a Cesarean section
Suddenly, the supplements sent by Ivy flashed through my mind. Had she been drugged somehow?
But I quickly dismissed that thought. If something were truly wrong, the baby wouldn’t have lasted this long. Leonard cared too much about this child to let anything happen to him. Leonard licked his lips. “I brought her to Manovia to ensure the baby is safe, but actually…
“Actually, you’re here to have the baby in Manovia so that the child can gain citizenship, right?” I rubbed my temples, feeling a bit uneasy. “You haven’t married her, so the child can’t be registered, right?” “Eva, why are you trying to seduce him again? You bitch!”
Amelia’s shrill voice rang out, making my head throb even more
