The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1663

She said gently, "Leonard, I made some food for you. I'll leave as soon as you've eaten."

Leonard replied, "I've already eaten. I don't have an appetite right now. You should take it with you. And please, don't visit me again unless it's important. We aren't that close."

The smile on Aurora's face slowly faded.

Leonard wasn't mincing his words. If she continued to pester him, he would likely say something even harsher. At that point, there would be no turning back.

Aurora said softly, "Since you want to rest, I won't disturb you."

She left, but she didn't take the food she had made with her.

Leonard glanced at it and said to his assistant, "Take what Aurora brought and eat it."

The assistant studied Leonard's expression, not daring to disobey, and took the food away.

Leonard turned back to stare blankly out the window.

Abby said, "I heard the fire at the Wright palace was probably set by Leonard. King Wright is furious with Aurora and has put out a huge bounty for her capture."

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

Stella got up to open it and was slightly taken aback by the person standing outside.

"Ms. Quinn?"

Laurel Quinn held up a fruit basket. "I heard Joshua was injured and in the hospital, so I came to see him."

Stella immediately welcomed her in. "Ms. Quinn, please, come in."

Laurel Quinn entered the room, her gaze lingering for a few seconds on Joshua's bandaged and immobilized arm.

"Joshua, are you okay?"
