The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 905

But the reality was that Leonie had saved his life. If she hadn't forced Hawthorne to step in, Dorian would have undoubtedly been beaten to death in Sully's club.

Dorian watched silently as Leonie peeled the apple. He was completely at her mercy now, his future entirely out of his hands.

Leonie sliced the peeled apple into neat, bite-sized pieces and prepared to feed them to him. Encased in a heavy cast, Dorian's mobility was practically non-existent.

But opening his mouth felt awkward, and keeping it closed felt ungrateful. Having Leonie feed him felt entirely too intimate. However, she quickly dismissed his hesitation with a single comment.

"Why aren't you eating? What's wrong? Am I not a good enough nurse?"

Afraid of upsetting her, Dorian opened his mouth and accepted the apple. Leonie beamed with satisfaction.

"There we go. That's more like it. You just need to let me take care of you."

She fed him several more pieces before Dorian's gaze drifted toward the doorway.

A tall, lean figure was leaning casually against the doorframe. Connor looked as arrogant as ever, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips as he watched them with a dark, unreadable expression.

Dorian spoke softly. "Leonie, your boyfriend is here."

Leonie followed his gaze and immediately spotted Connor.

She didn't want to engage with him, but she also knew that ignoring him would only provoke a barrage of sarcastic insults. She kept her tone flat. "If you want to come in, then sit down."

Connor tilted his head back and let out a dramatic scoff.

"I just came to see if you two were still alive. Why is this guy still clinging to you? Are you two really that desperate to be together?"

Leonie glared at Connor, her frustration boiling over.

"If you're here to check on Dorian, you're welcome to stay. But if you're just here to pick a fight, get the hell out."

Connor's eyes darkened slightly, his fiery arrogance dimming, though he refused to let the argument go.

He chewed aggressively on the unlit cigarette in his mouth. "I'm just trying to look out for you, but clearly, you'd rather bite the hand that feeds you."

With that, he vanished from the doorway. Leonie waited a moment before turning back to Dorian. "Just ignore him. He's always like this. Don't let it bother you. He's never going to change his awful attitude."
