The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 268

Chapter 268

Cindy heaved a sigh, “You're right. The matriarch of the Stirling family sure has her hands full. Between the family’s charity events, gatherings, and foundation affairs, she’s got plenty on her plate.”

So much to handle? That would surely leave no time for a career.

Aurelia had no idea about all this. Well, she didn’t need to know. After all, once she had the babies, she'd be out of there.

Darcy chuckled and felt relieved as long as Aurelia was back.

“Aurelia, when you have the baby, I'll manage the team well. I won't slow you down.”

As he was speaking, Aurelia’s phone rang. It was Elowen, who was outside the office building. The security had blacklisted her, barring her from entering.

“Come out and join me for afternoon tea.”

Aurelia didn't expect her to be released from home so soon. Just thinking about her last outburst gave her the creeps. “Ms. Elowen, I'm at work.”

“I have something important to discuss with you.” Elowen said.

Aurelia hesitated a moment before agreeing.

Darcy quickly warned, “Aurelia, be careful. If she loses control and freaks out again, it'd be a disaster.”

The last time something happened, they were all out at the factory, and Jenny had to rush from the restroom. Otherwise, they would've stopped Elowen.

“No worries, I'll take Ferne with me.”

Aurelia draped her coat over her shoulders and left with Ferne.

Elowen was on the verge of getting angry. The damned security wouldn't even let her into the building. Was she that dangerous?

Aurelia didn't walk with Ferne, and they went separately, pretending not to know each other. Compared to her last outburst, Elowen seemed much better. Time indeed was the best healer. Aurelia’s anxious heart eased a bit. She led Elowen to the coffee shop downstairs, choosing a window-side table. Ferne took a seat nearby.

Elowen was in no mood to pay attention to such details.

Looking at Aurelia’s belly, she sneered, “You sure are sturdy, arent you? You had an abortion not long ago, and now you're pregnant again.”

Aurelia awkwardly smiled, “It was a total surprise.”

Elowen didn’t doubt it. After all, it was Arnold who admitted it, and the whole social circle knew about it. He wouldn't claim Leopold's child as his own, would he?

“I knew it. Arnold has been with you for so long and yet didn't break up with you because you were pregnant.”

Aurelia gave an embarrassed smile. She sympathized with Elowen, but Elowen wasn't an easy nut to crack either. Once Elowen discovered the truth, she'd be dangerous.

Hadn't Megan died at her hands? And Evelyn had nearly died because of her. Otherwise, Leopold wouldn't constantly want to get rid of her.

Chapter 268

Men were all greedy, wanting to enjoy a carefree life with their mistresses and living in harmony so they could be worry—free. They wouldn't keep a jealous woman around to trouble them.

And she couldn't risk telling the truth. She could only try to fool Elowen for as long as she could. Her most important duty now was to protect her children, bring them safely into the world, and hand them over to Leopold.

After having some coffee, she changed the subject, “Didn't you have something important to tell me? What is it?”

Elowen covered her mouth, whispering, “Is Evelyn pregnant?”

“If she was, I'd make sure she had an abortion.” Elowen thought. No one except her would give birth to Leopold's child.

Aurelia felt speechless. Was this considered important?

Maybe to her, it was. As she still hadn't given up hope of getting Leopold's heart.

“I have no idea if she’s pregnant. It's hard to tell in the early stages.”

“Has she been feeling nauseous often?”
