Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 92

Chapter 92 ya The Successor

All I could do was wait But Leonard, uncharacteristically, pushed Lily away. "Lily, show some respect." "You can head home Em here to pick up my wife," he said.

If he had treated Lily this way from the start, I might have been moved. But now, all I felt was that he was being hypocritical it was just like back then-he pushed me away and then embraced Lily.
