Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 59

Has Leonard lost his mind?

This was Mila's first thought as she tried to process the bizarre situation.

Who could blame her?

Leonard was the Montgomery family's trusted right-hand man, raised and trained by the family from a young age to be utterly loyal, answering only to the head of the family. Even the extended branches of the Montgomery clan had to show him respect, as he stood just below the family patriarch in power and influence.

Naturally, his authority extended beyond that of Mila, the so-called legitimate lady of the Montgomery family.

For the past seven years, Lysander had treated her with icy indifference. Whenever she displeased him, he would send Leonard to deal with her. Leonard, known for his curt demeanor, had witnessed her at her most vulnerable and humiliated.

But this? This was new.

To Mila, Leonard's sudden display of kindness seemed utterly absurd, just another facet of the same hypocrisy that ran through Lysander's veins.

A wolf in sheep's clothing!

Mila pressed a hand against Leonard's chest, her voice cold and firm. "Put me down!"

Leonard remained unmoved. "Ma'am, your leg is injured. You can't walk."
