The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 1106

Leopold turned his head, his voice icy, "Of course Arnold gave up. How could he possibly care about my wife?" A flicker of cold light passed through Arnold's eyes. If it hadn't been for his last-minute decision to marry Lisa, would Leopold ever have had the chance to reconcile with Aurelia? He hadn't lost to Leopold. It was his mother who had played him for a fool.

"Don't worry. I just want to be Aurelia's one and only confidant, nothing more." Even if Leopold had Aurelia, he would never replace the place Arnold held in her heart.

Arnold and Aurelia shared a bond and common interests as soulmates, which was something Leopold could never compete with.

Arnold emphasized the word "only." Leopold darkened his expression slightly.

In Leopold's perspective, the sole role that Arnold could assregarding Aurelia was that of her brother-in-law.

"She doesn't need a confidant. She has me. I'm enough to handle anything for her." Arnold hummed to himself, "You should realize. Aurelia cback to you not because of you, but because of her kids." That hit Leopold where it hurt.

"Can she even tell you why?" Leopold retorted.

Arnold arched his eyebrow coldly, "She tellseverything and we have no secrets. Isn't that what confidants are for?" A flush of irritation crept into Leopold's furrowed brows.

Fredric sensed the tension in the air and quickly stepped in to mediate.

"There's a difference between a friend and a husband. A friend can't beca husband, and a husband rarely becomes a friend.

Even though a marriage is the closest of relationships, it's not without its secrets. Leopold, there are things you wouldn't tell Aurelia, right? And likewise, Aurelia wouldn't share everything with you. If she needs to talk, she'll turn to a good friend or sister, whether that's Arnold or Jelena." A sensitive nerve twitched in Leopold's heart. So did Aurelia cback to him for the sake of Kane just as Arnold said? Although Leopold knew it was true, the thought of her sharing intimate details with Arnold ignited a jealous rage within him. His mouth was as sour as if he'd bitten into a lemon, spreading the bitterness through him.

Just then, Aurelia and Jelena returned.

Aurelia was about to sit down when Leopold, with a swift move, hooked her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.

She blushed with embarrassment. Such public displays of affection were inappropriate. Couldn't he show srestraint? "The kids are here. It wouldn't be right for them to see this..." Before she could finish, Leopold pressed his lips hard against hers. Her cheeks turned crimson as red as ripe Washington apples.

Arnold tensed his shoulders, clenching his fists tightly, jealousy burning within him.

He knew Leopold was challenging him, declaring his territory.

Aurelia instinctively tried to push him away, but he was too strong.

Nearby, the children caught a glimpse of the scene.

Skyler stuck out his tongue, "Leopold and Angel are playing kissy-kissy." Mira quickly covered her eyes, "Mommy says we shouldn't watch grown-ups kissing, or we'll get sores on our eyes." Nina giggled, "Are Uncle Leopold and Aunt Aurelia going to make a baby?" Kane chuckled, "Mommy does want a little sister, after all." But it was William whose gaze fell on his father. With Uncle Leopold kissing Mommy, his dad must be sad.
