The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 423

Chapter 423

She raised her index finger, jabbing it into his chest with force.

The harsher her words were, the deeper her pain grew and the stronger her resentment

was.

Leopold felt like his chest was being punctured by her sharp words. He could no longer control his emotions, pulling her into his arms.

Aurelia was both embarrassed and furious, punching his shoulder. “Let go of me! We're divorced! You have no right to touch me!”

He wouldn't let go. Aurelia was out of control, driving him to the edge of sanity.

“My absence will only be temporary. I'll be back, so you're not allowed to see anyone else.” Aurelia was drunk, her mind clouded by alcohol, unable to process his words.

She thought he wanted to have his cake and eat it, too. He had discarded her but still expected her to be hopelessly devoted to him, just like Elowen and Evelyn.

Well, he had another thing coming!

“Don't even think about having a second chance. I'm done with you. Let me go! Let go!”

She pushed him forcefully, punched his shoulder, and kicked his shin.

Unable to free herself, she bit his shoulder. Just thinking of him making out with Megan made her lose all reason, biting him hard and deep.

The taste of blood spread in her mouth.

Leopold grunted, his handsome features contorting in pain.

“You can hate me and blame me, but it's better than not caring me.”

For a moment, he wanted to tell her the truth, but he held back. She was unpredictable, always doing things he didn't expect.

He feared she would secretly take on Megan, secretly risk her life, and fall into the

enemy's trap.

The enemy had painstakingly planted Megan, not just to help her become the lady of the Stirling family but certainly for some other plan.

The enemy knew Aurelia was his weakness. That was why they targeted her.

They were in the open, while the enemies were in the shadows, which made it hard to guard against.

He couldn't take any risks. He had to ensure Aurelia’s safety.

Once the lab developed the bacteriophage, he could tell her the truth and started fighting

back

Hearing his words, Aurelia froze as if someone had hit the pause button.

She swore not to get angry for him, not to feel sad for him, and not to let him affect her!

She suddenly let go, looking at his bitten and bloody shoulder, and her heart ached slightly.

“Mr. Leopold, I hate lingering feelings. Since we're divorced, let's cut ties.”

Taking advantage of his loosened grip, she pushed him away and fled.

Could it be more ironic that he had left his newly-wed wife alone at home and come to his ex-wife's bachelorette party?

He was high and mighty and spoiled by all the attention. He must have thought Aurelia would be like Elowen and Evelyn, who cried their eyes out daily and were devastated by his absence, and that he was upset when he saw she was joyful like nothing had happened. That must be the reason he came to bother her again.

What did he think of her? A plaything in his palm?

In the party hall, Arnold looked at Elvis, his eyes flashing a warning. “Aurelia isn't someone you can covet.”

Elvis stood his ground. “Aurelia is single, so I have the right to pursue her. Arnold, are you single?” Arnold was hit where it hurt, his heart giving a jolt. “I'll soon divorce and take Aurelia away from Elysium.”

Elvis showed a determined expression. “Aurelia is my ideal wife. I won't give up on her. We can compete fairly, to each according to his abilities, and leave the final choice to Aurelia.”

Jelena timidly interjected. “I think it's fair. After all, everyone has the right to pursue love.”

Arnold and Elvis turned to look at her simultaneously.

She put on a stern face. “I hope Aurelia can get a man who truly loves her and is willing to spend his life with her. Don't let her get hurt again. She's already been hurt twice.”

Arnold's eyes darkened. He gave her the first hurt. Aurelia wouldn't have been back together with Leopold if he hadn't married Lisa.
