The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 613

Chapter 613

Melissa was speechless for a while before she replied, “Megan, we're just looking out for you. You're pregnant and you've been bitten by a nasty bug. It might be better to rest up at the hotel. We're not heading back tonight, and if something happens to you, we'd have to haul you back, and that'd put a damper on everyone's fun.”

Megan retorted, “I'm feeling fine, and what could possibly go wrong?"

“The sea is rough, and the boat's rocking like crazy. Are you sure you can handle it? Leopold is just thinking of the baby, after all, it's his child. You can't be so headstrong,” Melissa reasoned.

Megan was taken aback to find Melissa spouting wisdom at her. Was the world turning upside down?

Aurelia had been sitting quietly by the side. The mention of Megan's child pricked her heart with a dull ache.

She stood up, “William, Skyler, I'm off to make your favorite, barbecued eel.”

"Yay!" Both of them clapped their hands happily, following her to the kitchen.

Megan shot her an irritated glance.

She thought, “Such a schemer, always trying to seduce Leopold at every turn.”

Melissa handed her a big coconut. Despite Megan on the dark side, she wasn't planning to cut ties with Megan.

After all, it was because of her that Melissa had been cut off financially. She owed her.

"When did you become so inflexible? I used to think you were smarter than me, turns out you're just as foolish"

She sighed, “I've been doing some thinking. The reason that jerk Elvis looks down on me is because I'm always clinging to him, like a lapdog. I need to change my tactics, and I can't keep going down this dead-end road.”

Megan was taken aback. Had Melissa had an epiphany? Suddenly so lucid?

"Melissa, I'm different from you. Leopold and I are legally married, and you and Elvis aren't even engaged. He fell in love with Aurelia"

“Why do girls like us, born with a silver spoon, get pushed aside by nobodies like her? Because she's smart, and she knows what makes men tick” Melissa said.

"What makes them tick?” Megan leaned in eagerly.

Melissa curled her lip, "The tease. The subtle, under-the-radar tease that makes men itch with desire without giving them satisfaction. Men can't help but obsess over that.”

Megan huffed, “Right now, she’s playing coy with other men while roping in Leopold”

“Men love a challenge, especially those blue-blooded boys. The more someone else vies for something, the more precious it becomes to them,” Melissa explained.

Megan ground her teeth, “It's not like we don't have suitors. It's just that we're loyal, and we keep ourselves pure, not like Aurelia, flirting with everyone in sight.”

Melissa patted her shoulder, "I'm telling you all this so you'll ease up on Leopold. You're not preventing his wandering, and you're pushing him away. Look at Aurelia, how carefree she is. No matter who Leopold is with, she doesn't bat an eye. Over time, he'll start to see her in a better light and think of you as a nuisance. Look at you now, and he barely wants to deal with you."

Megan felt a sharp sting, “I'm just so afraid of losing Leopold.”

“You're pregnant now, so you can't meet his needs. You can't expect him to abstain sex for so long. He's bound to seek out women. If not Aurelia, then someone else,” Melissa said, “When my mom was pregnant, my dad was never idle, always had a woman by his side,"

Megan pursed her lips, “But would you be so nonchalant if it were Elvis?"

Melissa exhaled, “He's had plenty of women around him. Who knows who he's been cuddling up with in Europe.

The only thing I can do is stop him from marrying and having a love child. I can't keep him from his sex, and he's an only child. God forbid he gets sick from abstinence, otherwise the Cooper family would have my head.”
