The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1746

The moment she heard Leonard's name, Stella frowned reflexively.

She turned her head and, sure enough, saw Leonard pushing the door open and walking in.

Abby's expression tensed when she saw him, too.

"Star, should I call Jake and Harold over?"

Before Joshua left, he had stationed Jake and Harold there, telling Stella she could call them if she needed anything.

Stella shook her head slightly. "Not for now. If anything happens to me, Joshua will find out immediately and rush back. Besides, if I can't even handle a small matter like this, I might as well just give up."

Though Stella's reasoning was sound, Abby was still worried.

She knew Leonard had feelings for Stella, but in Abby's eyes, Leonard was not a normal person. She was terrified he would suddenly snap.

Stella gave her a reassuring look and said softly, "You and Wilbur wait for me outside."

This only made Abby more anxious. "But…"

"If he wanted to hurt me, even Wilbur might not be able to stop him," Stella said. "Don't worry, he won't do anything rash."

Abby knew she wouldn't be much help if she stayed. It was better to wait outside and keep an eye on things. If Leonard made any sudden moves, she could at least call for help.

"Let Wilbur stay," Abby suggested. "He can handle himself, at least."

Stella nodded slightly. "Alright."

As Abby was leaving, Leonard walked right up to Stella.
