Chapitre 147: Revamping the Research Branch (1)

The conversation with Meredith and Charlotte lingered in Eli's mind for days. The fact that she said it out loud, just like that, also confirmed what she felt towards Leon. 

If it was before Leon went to his mission, Eli could always argue that her interest towards Leon was only due to her dependence on him as a co parent. 

However, she didn't have any alibi now.

More than six months apart, but Eli could feel her heart yearning for his presence day by day.

Eli could still remember that before, Leon's presence was one that she would prefer to avoid at all cost. 

But how ironic! Leon was the one she longed desperately to see now!

Eli knew in her heart that what she desired for was more than just his presence, but a committed relationship with him and him alone. 

However… would Leon still feel the same? What if the time they were apart caused him to realize that he was not really in love with her at all?

What now?
