Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 323

Chapter 323 A New Opportunity

The moment I received the divorce certificate, I noticed Leonard swallow several times as f he wanted to say something. Yet, he didn't utter a single word. He sat quietly without reaching for the certificate. Looking at the divorce certificate, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

I said nothing and turned to leave the county clerk's office with Leonard trailing behind me.

"Eva" he called out to me, his voice thick with emotion.

"Are we still friends?"

"No." I shook my head with a smile. We were no longer anything to each other. It was hard to say who owed whom. The mess of our relationship felt impossible to untangle

But at this moment, it felt like a clean slate. A fresh start didn't seem so difficult, after all.

I waved my hand at him. "Let's just pretend we never knew each other. I'm leaving."

"Eva!" He stepped before me, and I could see the tears brimming in his eyes.

He didn't know I was hospitalized, and I couldn't leave the hospital. Since my second relapse, Leonard had never come to visit me. I wondered if it was some land of cosmic mistake that he remained unaware of my situation. Perhaps it was tate's way of allowing us to part ways.
