Chapter 401

Evelyn suspected Leopold had grown tired of her, especially since he was keen to send her away after her sister returned.

As she mulled over this, Aurelia’s voice echoed again. “Surely, you don't think I'm the only woman in Leopold's life, do you?”

Evelyn was slightly stunned. “He has other women? How did I not know?”

Aurelia chuckled. “They're all hidden shadows. No man of the Stirling family is ever faithful in love. I don't care much if you are with Leopold. If your sister takes my place, I don’t think she'll allow you to be his mistress. She stole Leopold from your hands, and you are the first she'll guard against.” This last sentence instantly sent Evelyn's

resentment soaring.

In her eyes, Aurelia was no match for her. She didn't give a shit on any woman like Aurelia, who had no money, power, or a strong background. Aurelia was no threat.

She had successfully elbowed Aurelia out once, and she was confident she could do it again.

As for Megan, it was a different case altogether. Evelyn had never won against her. Megan was the golden child of the family, and their parents were partial to Megan. Undoubtedly, they would go all out to support Megan this time. She was Evelyn's biggest adversary.

“Aurelia, I do pity you,” Evelyn mused. “You're weak and no match for Megan. She's a combination of cunning and innocence. You can't defeat her.”

Aurelia pulled out a bottle of water from her bag, took a sip, and retorted, “Pot, meet kettle. You're just as bad off against her unless you can dig up some scandal from her missing six years to use against her.”

Evelyn's face clouded over. Aurelia's words reminded her of Megan remaining silent about what happened during those six years. She was determined to uncover any skeletons in her sister's closet.

Upon returning to the Stirling Mansion, his son, Kane, immediately approached Leopold. “Daddy, is Mommy coming today?”

On hearing it, Leopold's heart gave a painful lurch.

Would Aurelia even come back? From then on, he would have to sleep alone, lingering in the shadows of loneliness.

Struggling, he managed a response. “Mom... will visit when she can.

Kane's penetrating gaze bore into him, full of doubt. “You promised you wouldn't remarry.

Are you going back on your word?”

Leopold stiffened it was the first time his son had looked at him with such an accusatory gaze and spoken with such a condemning tone.

“I have my reasons. I will keep my promise to you.”

Kane was confused Wasn't his father divorcing his mother to marry another woman?

you divorce Mom, she'll never come back. You'll regret it.”

Leopold bent down to rub his son's hair and said, “Kane, you have to trust me. / won't let you down.”

Kane looked puzzled but decided to trust his father one more time, believing he wouldn't do anything rash

Just then, the butler’s voice echoed from the foyer. “Mrs. Stirling is back.”

Kane's eyes lit up. “Daddy, Mommy is back.”

He excitedly ran downstairs and threw himself into Aurelia’s arms. “Mommy, I thought you weren't coming back.”

Aurelia picked up their son, kissing his cherubic face., “This is my home. Of course, I have to come back.”

Would she just hand her home over to the other woman?

She ascended the stairs, passing by Leopold without a glance, ignoring his presence entirely.

Her husband and marriage were no longer worth her attention. But for the sake of her son, she would hang on with it no matter what
