Does Leonora leave her husband?

In Loving Adults, while trying to find her friends, Christian comes to know about her ex-boyfriend, who died. It was rumored that Leonora killed him because he was cheating on her.

So, she threatens him and tells him if he wouldn’t leave Xenia, she would tell the police about the fraud he had committed years ago. Christian doesn’t want to stay in this marriage. So, he plans to kill his wife to get out of it. He goes and kills his wife when she goes for her run. Little does he know, she has changed her route.

Leonora figures it out when the police come to their place for the inquiry of the murder. She leverages that information and blackmails Christian. After this, she reveals the truth about the murder of her ex-boyfriend. Leonora tells Christian that she can’t trust and forgive him because Xenia is still around. Therefore, she plans the whole murder by leveraging the two crimes which she has the evidence for. However, she had her own doubts about Christian killing Xenia, so she kills Xenia. They both go home and then the police arrive again at their house.

How does Love Adults end?

At the end, when the police arrive at the house of Leonora and Christian, they both inform the police that they were away in a hotel for the weekend. They have evidence of their hotel stay. Then, what about the body of Xenia after murdering her? Before Leonora killed her, Christian and Xenia make love. If the police can find the body, they will know about Christian because of the DNAs. Therefore, they hide the body in their sack of wood. The entire plot leads the narration to the Midsummer festivities.

Therefore, they hide the body in the sack, and before the police can find it, they burn the sack along with Xenia. The police officer cannot let the case go. He knows and can feel Christian’s involvement in the murder and wants to solve the mystery. However, before he can find anything, Christian and Leonora are seen throwing the remaining bones into the river. The case doesn’t have any evidence against the couple.
