Chapter 208

Was she taking shower too slow?

Just as she was about to say something to lighten the mood, Leopold threw his iPhone onto the table with a

thud.

"When did you become Elowen’s right-hand woman?” he demanded, his voice icy.

Aurelia’s heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the WhatsApp message on the screen. Damn, he knew.

“I just feel sorry for her. Her love for you is genuine, unlike some other people,” she defended. Leopold stared at her, his eyes full of mockery. “I never would have pegged you for a saint.” once.”

She batted her eyelashes and puckered her lips, making Leopold feel both annoyed and amused. “Your ears definitely deserve a punishment. They never listen.”

She pouted, “They like to hear nice things.”

Leopold pinched her lips with his fingers, “Then why can't this mouth of yours say anything nice?” Same to you! Aurelia thought to herself. He hadn't said many nice things to her either. He was always teasing her, belittling her, and being cold towards her.

“I thought you as such a wise and powerful CEO wouldn't appreciate flattery. So, I've always been straightforward. After all, truthful words are unpleasant to the ear, and sugar—coated bullets can kill.”

Leopold flicked her forehead, “You want to hear nice things, don't you?”

She stuck out her tongue, “I'm a woman. We're emotional creatures. Of course, we like to be praised and pampered.”

Leopold held her chin and scrutinized her from head to toe, his lips curling into a sneer.

“I'd like to compliment you too, but I can’t seem to find any good qualities in you.”

Aurelia could hear the sarcasm in his voice, and it left a sour taste in her mouth

To him, she was nothing compared to Elowen and Evelyn. Of course, he couldn't see any good in her. But she didn't care, because she didn't need his validation.

“You're not my knight in shining armor anyway. Someday, someone will love and cherish me. When I'm feeling down, he'll cheer me up. When I'm tired, he'll cook a delicious meal for me. When times are tough, we'll support each other. That's what true love is!”
