The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1766

Even if Stella had been slow to catch on, she realized now that Leonard knew everything she had ever done for Joshua.

Her expression as she looked at him grew complicated.

As if sensing her disbelief, Leonard said, "Star, I don't go back on my promises. I hope you can trust me this one time."

Whether she trusted him or not didn't seem to matter anymore. She had no other choice.

Stella asked, "Do you have any other conditions?"

A glint appeared in Leonard's eyes, and he ultimately gave in to the temptation.

"If possible, I'd like you to take care of my injuries during this time."

Stella looked at him. "Entrusting your health to someone who hates you... aren't you afraid I'll poison you again? Even if I can't kill you outright, a slow-acting poison would be just as dangerous."

Leonard said, "People like me are either killed by our enemies or by our own family. It makes no difference to me whose hand it is."

He looked at Stella. "If you want revenge, you can make your move anytime. No need to rack your brain coming up with a plan."

Stella remained silent. She didn't want revenge right now; she just wanted to leave. But leaving immediately was nearly impossible.

Looking at Leonard's injuries, Stella finally nodded.

"Fine, I agree. I hope you'll keep your end of the bargain. If you go back on your word..." An icy glint appeared in her eyes. "Leonard, I might just kill you."

Leonard's injuries had to heal completely, or he wouldn't be able to fly the helicopter to leave.

Leonard needed to recover, and she still had to prepare the gifts.
