Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 494 Your Family

Jack seemed to sense that I was at the door. He stopped knocking after a while. However, he didn't leave either. Instead, he just stared at the peephole quietly.

I thought he must've seen me, and he was just waiting for me to open the door. I spent a long time preparing myself mentally before I unlocked the door and opened it slowly. "I-It's been a long time." I could feel my voice trembling, but he uncharacteristically chuckled.

"Are you afraid?"

"Yeah. A little." I couldn't pinpoint my feelings. In any case, fear was definitely one of them. I hurriedly welcomed him inside when I saw the suitcase behind him.

The hotel room I chose wasn't particularly spacious. After Jack came inside, it suddenly seemed cramped, and even the air felt thinner.

"How about I get another room for you?" As I moved to the door, Jack grabbed my hand.

"That won't be necessary."

I was stunned by his action, and he was also equally surprised. Then, he immediately explained, "We're leaving tomorrow and returning to the company together. I won't leave this matter hanging and let you feel sorry for yourself." "It's not like that." I lowered my head and mumbled.

In fact, I wouldn't let myself feel sorry. After all, no one could finish my design. I knew that better than anyone else.
