Inever expected the Harmon family to be like this lan valued Leonard because he was truly capable of holding up the Harmon Group. But soon, I telt at peace company this large needed someone competent to lead, or it would have crumbled long ago. As I thought about lan's words and the debt owed Leonard, I couldn't help but offer scomfort. "Don't worry, I'll help you through this difficult time." "w!" Leonard gripped my hand tightly, and I awkwardly patted in before gently pulling my hand away. "Alright, let's go home. I'm tired" I really was tired. Given my current health, making it this far was already pushing my limits.

Leonard followed closely behind me, just like he used to back in school. But my heartfelt no ripples. My mind kept drifting back to the child in Lily's belly.

I had no appetite. Leonard ordered sfood, but after just two bloes, I set it aside.

Leonard looked atwith concern. "If you skip meals when your blood sugar is low, you're more likely to faint." The fact that he remembered I was ill surprisedI smiled without saying anything He handeda box of stod fruit. "A kastest sinuit, okay?" "You need to take care of your body. We both need to get healthier so we can have our own children in the future," he said.

He looked atwith such intense sincerity that found myself at a loss for words.

I wanted to tell him that I would never bear his child. Even if I could, I wouldn'L The words were stuck in my throat, though, and swallowed them down "What do you plan to do about Lily's child? Tsuddenly asked Leonard seemed flustered by the question but eventually met my gaze "When the tcomes, T'I do a DNA test. The technology is advanced enough now that we don'teed to wait until the baby is bor." "And then?"! "If it's not mine, I won't acknowledge it. I will hold her accountable.

"And it it is yours! e with the idea. A I asked the question without any emotion. Honestly, I suspected the child was his. Lily was so determined to becMrs. Harmon, she'd use any means necessary. Besides, Lily had been with him for quite stime. I didn't believe they had been careful abalong. Leonard can a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.

"Iva, believe me, I've only been with her twice, and both times I was a bit drunk. L' He seemed at a loss for what to say.

As He was not one to deny himself pleasure. The women who have cand gone over the years could form a beauty pageant. Who was he trying to fool? Besides, Lily always acted superior to. Leonard didn't favorher, where would she get the nerve to do so? Lasked again, the child is yours, what do you plan to do?" Leonard pounded the table in frustration, then lowered his head "Eva, if the child is mine, I'll take good care of him." Twasn't sure who this "him" referred to, but I know it wasn'ttan had already said I couldn Task for a divorce until the child turned three. And after that? Leonard could have another child, and I'd naturally becast aside.

I nodded experstunlessly.

His child. Of course, he should take good care of him.

Leonard looked up, his voice choking with emotion. "You know I grew up without parents, with only grandmother. Even if that child is Lily's, I can't bear the thought of mychild growing up withouta tany." "Eve, can you understand that?" he asked.

"Leonard, Tran." Treally could understand we were in school, he and his grandmother slind on each other. Even though he had a wealthy girlfriend Hume, he never spent my money.

When he finally got a good job, his grandmother belli, and I wanted to be rak up..........

for him to say something the this now-t understood perfectly.

Il mard didn't even care for his own child, that would be truly terrifying The new day, Leonard and I went to work together, and many colleagues eyes were on us.

Įsisidled up tmysteriously. "Exa, did you hear? Lily got reassigned to the logistics department" Trodded trunard had mentioned it yesterday, so it wasn't surprising Jow was cartled "Westerday, she claimed to be prepitant. Today, scolleagues said that she merely hurt her back and was taking it, though" Chapter 93 Take Good Care of Him "If she were really pregnant, would Mr. Harmon still let her cto work? I think he's fed up with her." I smiled but didn't say anything, not wanting to continue the conversation.

Without Lily stirring up trouble, my work progress was much smoother.

What I never expected was Luca to intervene in the marketing department. He even tried to take control of the design department's work.

He brazenly declared he wanted full control, especially with the collaboration with Brightwave Group.

"Ms. Green, I know it's been you overseeing this. Since Mr. Harmon askedto manage important projects, I can only follow orders, right?" He put on the facade of a smiling tiger, using lan as leverage against me.

Several colleagues in the design department stood up in anger, but I gestured for them to sit down.

Then, I turned to Luca. "You understand design? Great. Then, you'll draw, and I'll assist." "You're aware that many designs have been lost recently. You can help with that too-right now," I insisted.. Chapter Don Interfere Luca, of course, knew nothing about design. As the only Design Director, and with the design department fully united under me, there was no way he could interfere. In the end, The left with his tail in between his legs 1 wasn't sure whether he'd run off to complain to lan, but I knew one thing for certain wouldn't back down. if I did, those two crucial departments would fall into his hands, and Leonard's position would be seriously jeopardized Before the end of the day, received a call from jill She, as usual, had arranged everything in her whirlwind fashion.

I've already gotten him to agree to dinner tonight, so we can all meet up! Without waiting for my agreement, she sentthe Thinking this might be a burning point, I decided to go along with it and meet them.

When told Leonard that i was meeting, he seemed a bit displeased.

"Why are you still seeing her? I thought you two didn't get along?" "Who told you that? We've been close since school" I didn't feel the least bit guilty saying this, but Leonard just looked atin exasperation d after this.

I finally explained that Jill was the company's important ellent, so it wouldn't do to neglect her. He reluctantly agreed Now that we were pretending to be a loving couple, going to and from work together every day, I was starting to feel suffocated. Having spersonal space for once, I felt much better. When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw a striped shirt and glasses sitting beside Jill. No matter what she said, he remained stone-faced, and even she seemed frustrated.

"pulian, you're back in the country now. This is my turf, so could you at least try to smile?" "Imadoctor, not an entertainer." Thad just walked over when the stone-faced man said this, and I nearly stumbled

Hi, however, greetedenthusiastically. "Eva, why didn't a you wait until after we'd finished rating to show up? Do you even h sneak out, and no one would say a word." 1 gave her an exasperated look before turning to the man beside her.

Julian, however, showed no action and stated eating "Hurry up and eat. My cousin's brain needs proper nutrition, or he'll shut down soon," Julian didn't seem offended and even nodded in agreement Their interaction was amusing, and it lightened my mood.considerably.

We were having a good conversation when suddenly aman grabbed my arm.

"Well, well, if it isn't the Beautiful Nun. You're bald! The Harmandcoup's lady bous? I've seen your videos." The man was drunk. His friends tried to pull him back, apologizing profusely, but he stubbornly held onto me. "Beautiful Num, why are you wearing a wig? Con, letsee your real face." As he reached to pull off my hair, Julian grabbed his hand. Before the man could react, Julian punched him in the stomach.

It didn't look like Julia used much force, but the men collapsed in pain. Beach of cold sweat poured down his ofloold/sweat face, but he was unable to speak I stared blankly at Julian, and the man's friends looked terrified as well

Julian calmly wiped his hands with a napkin. "His live has issus-pain in the hols you liver region is unusual. You should take him to the hospital." "Valur your life, and don't trouble the Grim Reaper-or women," he added Themen hastily helped their friend away, and someone nearby even started clapping Julian remained untaxed and turned back to me. "You mentioned Ms. Agatha's final stagealer. Which stage was it?" Still shaken, answered his question.

The meal was nine-wracking, but when julian said he was willing to review my case and choose a treatment plan, I felt a wave of relief.
