Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Real Family

After finalizing the details of the divorce Lawsuit with Amy, I didn't return to the office. Instead, I went back to the small apartment where my mom used to live.

Emma had already arranged for it to be cleaned. The apartment was simply furnished, just as it had been before my mom left.

However, the clear scratch marks on the headboard reminded me of how much my mom had to have suffered. The thought of enduring such pain myself made it hard to breathe, to quickly left the apartment. That evening, while Emma was working late, I made some pasta and went to bed early just as I was falling asleep, Leonard called. I rejected the call quickly, but he sent me a video on WhatsApp The video showed Leonard in a drunken state, and Sam's voice sounded. "Eva, you need to come pick him up. He's really losing it."

Then, Leonard grabbed the phone and hugged Sam

Leonard used to drink very little during our school years, and I thought that it was because he didn't like drinking. Later, I found out that it was because he would lose control when he was drunk

Sam sent me the address, and I forwarded it to Lily since Leonard didn't want to see me. After all, he only had eyes for his lower.
