Chapter 65 Lovesick Fool
Leonard hung up the phone a little too fast, still looking annoyed.
He gave me an uneasy smile and then pulled a small ring box from his pocket. Inside were our wedding rings
Before he could say a word, eut him off, “trenard, I told you, I’m not going to wear aring that someone else has already wor
He had seen Lily put that ring on, and now he wanted me to wear it too?
His hand stopped awlowardly in midair, he he wasn’t sure what to do.
He looked at me and sighed, “Da, does it really have to be like this?”
I couldn’t understand why he was so sal Wasn’t this all his fault?
But then i thought about what I’d done, and looked down. Maybe it wasn’t all on him
“Leonard, let’s get a divorce,” I said calmly, the it was no big deal
Once I thought about divorce, it was all could think about.
Leonard threw the ring the back seat, clearly angry. “Ew, do you really want a divorce that much?
**Now that Zack in back, you want to get a divorce? Are you regretting not being with him back in college?!
His comments made me frustrated. I just wanted to open the door and walk out.
Then his phone rang again. Lily was calling him over and over
Lestard looked anneyed but also unsure. Right now, Lily was still important to him, so he wasn’t going to ignore her
Aspected after a few seconds of hesitation, he picked up the call
Lily’s voice came through, shaking with bears “Leo, my allergic reaction is really had. The doctor says a family members to come. Where are you?”
at the same time, repened the car door and got into a nearby taxi.
1 saw Leonard get out of the car, probably trying to call after me, but it didn’t matter anymore. He was Lily’s family now, not mine.
Once we were divorced, without that piece of paper hing us together, he’d be even freer
When I got back to Emma’s place, she had already cleaned up and made me a bowl of ginger te
“Drink this quickly so you don’t catch a cold, then go take a hot shower.”
She no longer had that sad look from the police station. Her cheeks were now rosy and warm 1 gave her a big hug and drank the ginger tea in ome With a frand like this, who would need a man?
1 skept so well that night that almost didn’t wake up the nest moming
1 barely made it to the office on time, and pean was already panicking
“Eva, thank goodness you’re here! Mr. Harman isn’t”
“So?” boked at her, confused.
She quickly handed me the project documents. “These neid Mr. Harmon’s signature. They should have been signed yesterday.
“But Ms. Jane said Mr. Harmon was too busy yesterday and would sign them body. Now he’s not here and isn’t answering his phone.”
Leonard was in charge of these projects, some couldn’t move anyuces or money without his signature.
I took the documents spstairs, but Leonard was nowhere to be found
Emita, who hadn’t talked to me in a long time, cane over

replied, “Do you really think he’d be with me?”

From the beginning, Emilia didn’t ke me, and I didn’t like her either
We stood there in silence for a moment before 1 picked up the phone and called Leonard. To my surprise, the call connected quickly. “E, are you trying to reach Leo? He’s at the doctor’s office picking up my medical records.”
“You’re still at the hospital?
I didn’t get it—how could amild allergic reaction need so much time in the hospital?
Lily’s wice was smug. “Leonard’s worried something might happen to me, so he insisted I stay for observation. He’s staying with me.
If you need anything, just let me know and the message along”
“Pass it along1I doubt you. Let Leonard answer the phone.” My voice was cold, and I was charly frustrated
Leonard rarely got calls on his personal phone, and when he did, it was aheres something important. Now, he was letting Lily answer it and ignoring work–couldn’t understand what was going on
Lily seemed upset with my attitude, and her tone became ride. “Who’s the boss here, you or him? What night do you have to boss me around?
“Twop making excuses to call Lee. I’m not going to let him answer your calls.”
She hung upon me quickly. When tried calling back, she rejected it again
It was clear she wasn’t going to let me talk to Leonard. Emilia, who was standing nearby, looked at me with a frown.
