Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) -
Chapter 287
Chapter 287 Bad Feeling
Ivy wasn't exactly the warm-hearted type. Though she was wealthy, she was incredibly stingy. The gifts she gave during holidays were often unimpressive, but she would always take stuff from the Harmon residence.
Mr. Harmon Senior would usually say she was small-minded and that her family was an upstart. Hence, they weren't the same as real elites. Mr. Harmon Senior looked down on her. But since Luca was somewhat outstanding, the family remained in contact.
I had been married to Leonard for so long. Ivy had never been friendly with me, let alone buy me gifts. She was also only nice to Lily because the latter was pregnant. So why was she treating Amelia so well now?
Someone like her wouldn't do anything without expecting something in return. There must be some benefits for her. I looked at Amelia and the supplements, but I still couldn't figure out the reasoning. Noticing my gaze on the supplements, Ivy quickly had a maid take them away. Amelia linked arms with Ivy affectionately. "You're the best, Ivy."
Leah raised her brows at me and pursed her lips. She clearly disliked the pair. Once again, Amelia was back to being clueless.
She seemed serious just a moment ago, and now she totally forgot that Ivy was Luca's mother. The enemy's mother suddenly treated her well. Not only did Amelia not feel strange about it, but she was all affectionate with Ivy.
There was no helping her-she chose to ignore her senses. I looked away, not wanting to say anything.
Ivy glanced at me mockingly.
"As the elder, how could I not care for the younger generation? In the past, we were worried that a certain someone wouldn't give Leonard an heir. His parents passed away early, so we were of course worried about him. I'm glad you and the baby showed up, Amelia." Ivy had always called me infertile, and I had gotten used to it. However, as I saw how clueless Amelia was as she kept smirking at me, I started to get frustrated.
"Luca's her son," I commented casually, sipping on my tea.
Amelia's hand that was linked with Ivy froze, and she looked a bit uneasy. Clearly, she knew what I was getting at.
Ivy's face darkened. "What do you mean by that Eva? So what if Luca's my son? Can't I treat Amelia well?"
"I'm just stating facts," I replied calmly, still focused on my tea.

Just then, a maid brought bone broth over. She even made it a point that it was a gift from Ivy.
Ivy sneered at me before smiling at Amelia. "I bought this from a friend. A pregnant woman should have this more.
Though I didn't look up, I could feel Amelia's hesitation.
Putting down the bowl, Amelia said, "I'll have it later, Ivy. I've just eaten. I can't have any more broth."
At least she wasn't completely foolish. I averted my eyes from her, deciding to go replace Mr. Harmon Senior.
However, Leah suddenly spoke up. "Amelia, this broth is good for you. I had this every day when I was pregnant. If you want your baby to be healthy, then have the broth. Ivy bought this out of kindness. It wouldn't be good to reject it."
I glanced at Leah curiously. Her eyes remained on Amelia, and only when Amelia drank the broth did Leah smile happily.
A strange feeling washed over me, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Even when Mr. Harmon Senior called me upstairs, I still couldn't grasp it.
As I went upstairs, I turned to look at the three women in the living room. I had a bad feeling about this.
