The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1434

Lately, every time Simone went to see Leonard, she found him at his computer, emailing Summer.

Leonard refreshed his inbox a few times. Seeing no new messages, he slowly turned to Simone.

"What? Dating someone online?"

Simone said, "Leonard, you seem to be in touch with Summer a lot recently."

"We haven't spoken in three days," Leonard said flatly.

"Then what are you doing sitting at the computer?" Simone asked.

"Waiting for Summer to reply."

Simone paused. "Didn't you just say you haven't spoken in three days?"

Leonard said, "Yes. Summer hasn't replied to my message."

Simone was speechless. So, when Leonard said 'three days,' he meant it was a one-sided silence from the other person's end.

After a moment of exasperation, she finally asked, "Leonard, what's going on with you and Aurora?"

"It's over between us," Leonard said.

Simone froze for a couple of seconds before her expression hardened.

"Over? Are the Williamses that desperate to cut ties with us now?"

Simone's gaze fell on the painting of the figure on the wall.

"Leonard, are you that in love with Aurora? Even after she abandoned you when you needed someone the most, you can still treat her like a goddess and spend your days reminiscing?"

Leonard's gaze also landed on the painting before him.

He said gravely, "The person in this painting might not be Aurora."

Simone scoffed, "Leonard, stop being stubborn. If it wasn't Aurora, would you have spent so much money to buy this painting?"

"Even if this painting wasn't of a person's back, I would have bought it at any cost," Leonard said. "I admire Summers' work. It has nothing to do with Aurora. She and I have no relationship anymore, so don't bring her up again."

Simone found the whole thing absurd and ridiculous. She had once thought that after everything Leonard had done for Aurora, he might resort to extreme measures if he couldn't have her.
