The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel 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 assume regarding 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 came back 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 tells me everything 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.

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.
