Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 11

Leonard had walked some distance away with his phone before growling into it again. "I can do whatever I want, and you have no right to control me." "Yeah. And I don't want to."

I didn't want to spend too much effort on this problem with him. Ever since he took a woman back home the first time, I should have understood. I didn't know why I was being so dramatic over it at the time. I lived in sorrow almost every day.

I wanted to tell him the truth more than once in the past. However, I was afraid that I would hurt him, that I would make him upset, and that he would be in unbearable pain.

But I understood it now. He wouldn't be upset with people like me, so there was no need to explain anything. However, I didn't know what exactly I said which angered him again.

He roared, "Eva, what are you trying to say? Do you think you have a right to control me? I'll make it clear to you right now. I paid for everything in the house, and you have no right to point your fingers at me.

"I'm warning you right now. Stop threatening Lily. She's unlike you, so don't get into any scuffles with her. Get back to the company right now, or I won't pay you a single cent!"

I thought he would hang up after that, but he didn't. He stubbornly waited for an answer from me.

After waiting for about ten seconds, only then did I slowly say, "Fine. But I want overtime."

"Darn it. I'll pay!"

When he hung up, I heard Lily calling out "Leo" in a sweet tone. That was the nickname that I used for him, but it had become someone else's too.
