The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1009

Leopold said, "You should know that custody of the Stirling family's son stays within the Stirling family."

Aurelia was well aware, so she kept William's lineage a secret. A headstrong man like Leopold would undoubtedly snatch away her William if he knew.

"Do you know the biggest difference between you and Arnold? He consults with me on everything and considers my feelings and opinions. On the contrary, you always make decisions by yourself without regard for how I feel."

Her words left Leopold feeling helpless and gloomy.

He'd never measure up to Arnold in her heart, would he? Arnold was the man she truly wanted to marry. If it hadn't been for his coercion, she would never have agreed to remarry.

"You're just looking at him through rose-colored glasses."

She scoffed. "I don't look at anyone through rose-colored glasses. I'm down to the ground. You’ve broken my heart, and it won't heal so quickly."

Leopold sighed. Her ability to heal was indeed poor, and he was hurting, too. How could he feel okay when she was in pain?

"Maybe I should get you some vitamins to help heal those wounds faster."

Aurelia rolled her eyes, picked up a chocolate from the table, and began to eat, not wanting to deal with him any longer.

In the garden, the children were feeding the fish.

William glanced at Arnold beside him.

"Daddy, can you bring Nova over tomorrow? She'd be over the moon to celebrate Nibbles' birthday."

"Of course." Arnold smiled indulgently.

He had deliberately stayed away from Aurelia and Leopold, choosing to be in the garden instead.

Arnold was a man of manners. Now that Aurelia and Leopold had remarried, he maintained a respectful distance from Aurelia, even as a family.

The Stirling family rules were strict, and he didn't want to cause Aurelia any trouble.

Suddenly, Skyler said, "Arnold, I think you all should move to Nepal, where a woman can marry two brothers. That way, you could all live with Angel, and no one would be sad."
