Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 She Doesn't Love You

Before I knew it, it was the day of the company's anniversary celebration. Harmon Group had organized an extravagant event, seemingly to quash the previous rumors. They unvited a lot of media reporters over to prove that Leonard and I were still a loving couple However, before the celebration, I still hadn't received the dress and jewelry ordered for me. With no other choice, I went home.

Leonard didn't go back on his word. There was no need for remote arrangements to get the dress and jewelry. I chose a short dress from our engagement year that I hadn't gotten

the chance to wear.

When Leonard came to the Harmon residence to pick me up, he frowned instinctively. "Why are you dressed like that?" he asked.

Despite the discord, we were the main attra Leonard quickly mingled with the crowd. He was always great at socializing. 1, on the other hand,
