The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Aurelia, a seemingly unremarkable woman, would have likely gone unnoticed by him had it not been for a medical mishap.

But she was like an unexpected variable in a fixed equation, unpredictable and constantly eluding his

control.

The most incredible part was how she could effortlessly breach his formidable defenses, subtly altering him and causing him to lose control.

He thought he had her figured out, but would soon realize that he might not truly know her at all. "Don't forget that you signed a three-year contract with the company.”

Aurelia’s thick eyelashes fluttered, revealing a hint of cunning. “The penalty can be deducted from my compensation.”

His face immediately darkened.

“It seems you have everything calculated.”

Just like a nesting doll, always scheming.

Aurelia casually plucked a daisy, twirling it in her hand while a bitter smile slowly appeared on her lips.

“Actually, my leaving might not be such a bad thing for you. If I leave, all ties between us will be severed. You won't have to worry about running into me in the elevator anymore.”

She swallowed, not knowing why her heart felt a little bitter, “If it were up to you to choose the mother of your child, I doubt you would choose me, even after going through all the women in the world. I hope your -wish comes true and that the child looks like you, not me. That way you can completely erase me from your

memory.”

She lowered her head, plucking a petal from the flower. With a slight release of her fingers, the petal drifted. away in the wind, freely tumbling in the air.

Leopold stared at the petal until it disappeared from the balcony.

Once a petal left a flower, it can never return, their connection forever lost, just like him and her. His heart suddenly felt as if it was being heavily pressed by a chunk of ice, causing it to beat irregularly.

He finished the remaining coffee in his cup.

The coffee seemed to have gone bad from sitting too long. It was bitter and sour.

He frowned, “Can you read my mind? How do you know what I'm thinking?”

She blinked, giving a mysterious smile, “I don't know. I'm just guessing. Usually, my guesses are pretty

accurate.”

Even if she was the last person on his mind, she could still see it.

Leopold's mood took a turn for the worse. He was feeling inexplicably irritable.

At that moment, his phone rang. It was his mother calling. Elara had come over and wanted him to return. home.

His face darkened even more and without a word, he turned around and left.

Back at the Stirling mansion.

Chapter 79

Elowen was sobbing in front of Jessica.

"Aunt Jessica, those Alcott sisters are like bad pennies, always turning up! One is gone, and now the other one is clinging to Leopold. What should I do?”

Jessica was getting a headache from her complaining, rubbing her temples, “Stop overthinking. It's normal for Leopold to have female friends. He can't avoid women altogether, can he? You know what kind of man your uncle is, he has more women than I can count. Look at your three cousins, they change women more often than they change clothes. Compared to them, Leopold is practically a saint. What more do you

want?”

Seeing her growing discontent, Elara quickly added, “Elowen is just too concerned about Leopold. As long as they are not married, she can't find peace.”

Jessica sighed, “She is my own niece, so I won't beat around the bush. She really needs to change her attitude. If she can’t ensure that she will hold onto a man’s heart forever, she needs to learn to be patient. No matter how many women he has outside, she needs to turn a blind eye. Only then can she keep her place. Otherwise, she'll end up divorced sooner or later.”
