The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1222

In her mind, Charles and Harriet had always been the picture of marital bliss. Could Charles actually be playing the field?

She hadn't thought it possible. Men really had no self-control.

Slipping an arm around Beverley's shoulders, she said, "Alright, we've shopped enough. Let's head out for lunch."

Out of sight, out of mind.

After paying, they left the store together. Watching Aurelia's retreating figure, Megan's eyes nearly bulged out of her skull. She wished her glare could be as piercing as an arrow, striking Aurelia through the heart from behind.

In the restaurant, they requested a private booth. Beverley took a sip of her juice and leaned in to whisper, "Aurelia, about Dad and that young actress..."

Aurelia interrupted hastily, "How could I ever believe Megan's gossip?"

Beverley exhaled deeply, "It's true, though. Dad really is keeping that actress on the side. He's got a sugar baby."

Aurelia choked on her drink, "Could there be some mistake? Weren't Uncle Charles and Aunt Harriet always so loving?"

Beverley replied, "Life is long, and even the happiest couples can grow weary of each other. When they were young, they were great together. Mom was young and beautiful, a real catch, so of course, Dad adored her. But now that Mom's aged, and Dad has all these young beauties around him, it's hard for him not to crave some variety."

Aurelia felt like she'd been punched in the gut.

Is it really so tough for a guy to keep it in his pants? Do they all start wandering once their wives start showing wrinkles?

Would Leopold do the same once she grew old and unattractive?

"Does Aunt Harriet know about this?" asked Aurelia.

Beverley nodded, "She knows. She's aware of all Dad's escapades but chooses to ignore them. I mean, he's just having fun, right? He still comes home to Mom every night, and doesn't neglect her because of his fling."

Aurelia was reeling.

So they appeared to be in love, but Charles already had many mistresses.
