The Marriage That Never Was (Leonard and Lisa )
Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Leonard gained some understanding of Lisa’s temperament during their interactions. His earlier attitude was unfavorable, and he knew Lisa would not let things slide so easily.

Soon enough, Lisa filled a bucket with water and approached Leonard’s bed. His eyebrows twitched as he hurriedly moved toward her, gripping her arm tightly.

With a cold expression, he asked, “Lisa, what do you think you’re doing?” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I’m about to pour this water on your bed. If I can’t sleep, I won’t let you sleep either.” Lisa’s bright eyes in her chubby face resembled a deep pool.

Leonard was startled and warned sharply, “You wouldn’t dare!”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Lisa responded, her gaze cold. “Leonard, I’ve endured enough from you. You wanted a divorce, and I complied. What about you? You told me to leave yesterday and then slandered me in front of the police.

“Then you claimed to be a germaphobe and refused to let me use your bathroom. Fine, I used the other bathroom instead. I didn’t even argue when you claimed the bed. All I asked for was a pillow and blanket. You know how you’ve treated me.”

Leonard, who stood significantly taller than her, lowered his head and noticed her soft pink lips moving as she spoke.

‘She’s giving me a headache.’

“It’s just a blanket. Can’t you go and get it yourself?”

“I’m not familiar with anything here. How would I know where it is?” Lisa asked angrily. “Leonard, I know my family isn’t as wealthy as yours. You can look down on me all you want, but we’re in a partnership.

“You’re a businessman, right? Do you treat your partners like you treat me? I don’t need to respect you if you don’t respect me,” she said as she approached the bed.

“No!” Leonard shouted as he grabbed both her arms.

Lisa tried to break free, and the two pushed against each other forcefully. However, Leonard’s physical strength was more significant. The water in the bucket splashed onto Lisa’s chest during the struggle.

Sploosh!

The room fell into a sudden silence. Leonard looked down and realized Lisa had just showered and was only wearing light pink cotton pajamas.

The water soaked Lisa’s upper body, and her shirt clung to her skin, revealing the color of her bra. Leonard’s gaze deepened as he took in the sight. Lisa was skinny, so he thought she would have more proportionate assets.

“What are you looking at?” Lisa’s face was steaming when she noticed Leonard staring at her chest. She was enraged and humiliated.

In the heat of the moment, her anger got the better of her. She grabbed the bucket and poured the remaining water on Leonard’s pants, drenching his lower body and splashing water all over the floor.

An immediate chill filled the room. Leonard looked at his drenched lower body, his handsome face darkening.

“Lisa!” He growled through clenched teeth and glared at her as if his gaze could kill.

“What goes around, comes around.” Lisa subconsciously gathered her courage and stood firm in her wet pajamás, despite her shivering.

Leonard wanted to strangle her but could not face her soaking wet, almost revealing attire. He clenched his fists and stormed toward the door, unable to stay in the house any longer.

Suddenly, he realized he had wet pants on and reluctantly returned to the dressing room to change his clothes before forcefully slamming the door shut.

Lisa felt more at ease when he left. She figured the distraught Leonard would not return.
