The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 202

Chapter 202

Leopold was taken aback slightly, casting an inscrutable yet piercing gaze at her.

“You're aware of her affair with Fredric, aren't you?”

That explained why she was suddenly so interested in Fredric and Sheryl's marital life last week. Aurelia quickly replied, “I think there's been a misunderstanding. My cousin and your older brother are just boss and employee, just like us.”

Leopold extended his arm, wrapping it around her waist. His icy eyes twinkled ominously under the light, “Are you certain that's all we are to each other? Just boss and employee?”

If not, then what?

Aurelia playfully grimaced, “Despite getting married and having two children, we've always been respectful and never crossed any lines!”

Leopold's eyes darkened even further, becoming cold and profound.

Had she really taken the initiative, not stopped at the crucial moment, they would have crossed so many boundaries by now. Because she had the ability to stir his hormones, to make him lose control completely, and he didn't mind separating emotions and physical needs.

His gaze briefly lingered on her ample chest, adding a touch of heat. He picked up the glass from the coffee table and took a sip of water, saying, “Fredric and your cousin have been staying at the Royal Emerald Resort for a month now. Sheryl is truly worried this time.”

Aurelia took a deep breath. No wonder she ran into Fredric at the Royal Emerald Resort the other day. So they had been “living together”?

“If that's true, then my cousin must have been deceived by your brother's sweet talk. He's just like Mr. Chad on treating women, wanting to have his cake and eat it too. What a jerk!"

Leopold showed a hint of mockery, “If she doesn’t want to, who could deceive her?”

It was possible between a willing buyer and a willing seller.

Aurelia picked up a cherry, put it in her mouth, and spat out the pit after eating it, “In Pebblebrook, there are many rich and handsome men chasing after my cousin. Why would she get involved with a married man and create a mess for herself?"

Leopold played with a strand of her hair, seemingly amused, “That depends on what she's after.” Aurelia made a face. Her aunt's family was wealthy, so her cousin was definitely not after money. Fame or thrill, perhaps?

She sighed, “She could at least date someone who's single!”

She checked Twitter and was relieved that it had not made the trending topics. Fredric must have managed to keep it under control.

“Sheryl must be behind what happened today, right?” Aurelia asked.

Leopold didn't respond. But Aurelia was sure that he thought the same. After all, those drama queens wouldn't dare to be so brazen.

She ate a few more cherries and said leisurely, “I heard Sheryl herself was a homewrecker and stole her best friend's man. As the saying goes, don't air your dirty laundry in public. It's best not to make a big fuss about this. It won't do her any good. If word got out that she forced her best friend to commit suicide

because of her pregnancy, I doubt if many people would support her.”

Leopold looked at her with narrowed eyes, reached over, and ruffled her hair. This woman was definitely smarter than the average person. “You'd best not get involved in Jelena's matters.”

She pouted, “I'm her relative. How could I just stand by and do nothing? If she’s sinking, I'll definitely lend a hand.”

Leopold pinched her cheek, “Would you help her if she wanted to climb up the social ladder?”

Of course, Aurelia wouldn't. Her moral compass wouldn't allow it.

She never agreed with her cousin's actions.

“I just want to help her leave Fredric and marry someone who truly loves her. Women must learn to cherish themselves and not waste their time and emotions on the wrong person.”

Leopold's face got gloomy. He had a feeling that the last sentence was somewhat ambiguous Should he praise her for being clear-headed or over-rational?

No wonder she was still single.

After all, falling in love requires a bit of impulsiveness.
