The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 261

Chapter 261

Fredric, with a knowing glance, realized she was intentionally losing to him. Aurelia was a breath of fresh air, no wonder Arnold was so smitten by her.

Aurelia slapped her forehead, “Mr. Fredric, you are always one step ahead.”

Fredric chuckled, “Next time when we both are free, we'll have a real showdown.”

After the party, Aurelia headed back to her apartment.

Feeling exhilarated and not quite ready for sleep, she took a shower and then sprawled on her bed, humming to the soft music playing.

Leopold came over.

He was in a bad mood, especially after being provoked by her in the lounge, and had lightened considerably watching her battle during the game. It was incredible how she could affect his mood without even trying.

Looking at him, Aurelia’s eyes sparkled with mischief, “I heard you are unbeatable in e-sports. How about we have a match sometime?”

Leopold, with a smirk, responded, “You are already feeling cocky after winning a few rounds?”

She pouted, “Don’t underestimate me. I won the university e-sports championship.”

It seemed like he always looked down on her. There was actually a lot of good in her, but he just didn't want to find it.

Leopold ruffled her hair, “If you lose, you have to accept a penalty.”

Her heart skipped a beat, “What kind of penalty?”

His irresistible lips curled up into a smirk, “I haven't decided yet. It can wait until after you give birth.”

Aurelia asked, “What if you lose? Would you have to accept a penalty too?”

He chuckled, his voice as soothing as a gentle breeze, tinged with a hint of mockery.

“Sure, if you are capable of making it happen.”

“Then it's settled. We'll find a time for our match.” She grinned, feeling unexpectedly excited. She was always overshadowed by him in every other aspect, but e-sports might be an exception. She had some confidence in that area.

After a moment of silence, she thought about Jelena and said in a low voice, “Sheryl must despise Jelena now. I always feel like Fredric is the one pursuing Jelena, but she hasn't agreed yet. The crux of the problem. lies with Fredric. If Sheryl cant make him change his mind, it's useless to kick Jelena out. There will always be other women. Wasn't Fredric unfaithful even before Jelena appeared?” She was right, and hearing her words, he kept silent.

“Sheryl has two choices, either leave or endure.” Aurelia sighed, “Enduring is like having a knife hanging over your head. Not everyone can accept that. If it were me, I would kick my cheating husband to the curb, never to cross paths again.”

Leopold knew that she would choose to leave. Even now, when he was faithful and self-disciplined, she always mentioned divorce, much to his annoyance.

During his silence, Aurelia spoke again, “But Sheryl isn't innocent either. She openly seduced her best friend's man. Poor Joyce, young and beautiful, faced betrayal from the man she loved and her best friend in the prime of her life. It was a devastating blow. What goes around comes around. Sheryl's troubled

marriage is payback, I guess.”

Leopold got her a glass of milk, replying, “Stop overthinking. Focus on your issues. We are all adults and should take responsibility for our choices. You can't control everything.”

Aurelia dropped her gaze, and she was in a mess. There was a big misunderstanding about the father of her children. What would happen when the truth came out?

She wasn’t worried about herself, but Arnold. He had sacrificed his reputation to protect her, to shoulder everything for her. She couldn't let him be tarnished.
