The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2184

Leonard's eyes narrowed. "Forget-me-not?"

The assistant nodded. "Yeah, that's what this bouquet is called. Forget-me-not."

Leonard's gaze turned somber. He took the forget-me-nots from the assistant, glanced at his own baby's breath, and fell into deep thought.

...

To verify Joshua's words, Leonard had Rhett investigate if Calico had really run away.

Rhett's reply was clear: "No. We checked all the surveillance cameras along the route, and there wasn't a single trace of a cat. Moreover, the street where Joshua lives is a private road. The security footage is strictly managed by the homeowners, so we have no access."

Leonard's expression turned ice-cold.

Not a single word out of that man's mouth was true.

Calico was definitely still in Joshua's hands.

Leonard had intended to deal with Joshua himself. However, he soon received news that Joshua had temporarily returned to Aetheria on business. His informants reported that Joshua had taken a pet with him on the flight. Leonard couldn't even use his absence to steal Calico back.

Joshua was truly taking the word 'despicable' to a whole new level.

Stella had also been keeping an eye out for news about Calico. When she learned that Leonard's idea of handling it himself meant he hadn't even managed to see Joshua face-to-face, she was stunned. She figured Joshua would at least make things difficult for Leonard in person. But Leonard didn't even get the chance to be messed with.

Joshua's whereabouts were unpredictable, especially since he didn't want to be found. Even with Leonard's men staking out locations day and night, they came up empty.

A week passed with no news of Joshua or Calico.

Even so, Leonard didn't call Stella to ask for her help. She only found out the cat was still missing when she asked the cafe assistant and subsequently checked in with Leonard.
