The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Tears, the pets off a string tumided from her eyes, falling one by one onto Leopolda pant leg

He could damely feel the moisture seeping through

Was this woman truly naive, or just playing dumb?

Don’t play games with me. If you do, I’ll have you out the door in a heartbeat!

He turned on the frahight from his iPhone, instantly Ruminating the dark elevator shaft

Aurelia esught her reflection in the glossy metal wall

She was kneeling on the floor, her head wedged between his long legs

I was a bizarre and incredibly awkward position.

Her face flushed crimson, as red as a tomato, as she awkwardly wriggled and squirmed, finally freeing herself

“Mr. Leopold, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to… I couldn’t see anything, I really thought I was stuck…

She bent over in a deep apology, her voice a continuous stream of contrition.

They say pregnancy brain can make you do strange things.

Was she already experiencing it?

Leopold loosened his tie, the woman’s antics making him feel uncharacteristically flustered.

“Do you have a secret you want to share with me?”

Aurelia didn’t dare to say a word.

He must have misunderstood, thinking she was making a pass at him. If he found out his seed had mistakenly been implanted in her, wouldn’t he be furious enough to wring her neck?

“I… I just wanted to say that even though you’ve just taken over the company, everyone looks up to you a lot.”

Leopold’s lips curled in a mocking smirk.

He’d heard plenty of such flattery before. There was nothing original about it.

“Don’t be a sycophant. Focus more on your work.”

“Yes, you’re absolutely right. I will remember that.”

Aurelia retreated to the corner of the elevator, as if being punished.

The elevator finally jolted back to life.

Like a scared mouse, she scuttled out, disappearing down the corridor.

Life was full of surprises, but today, she had encountered far too many!

As soon as Leopold stepped into his office, he received a call from his subordinate.

The Stirling family gene bank had been robbed.

His sperm had been stolen!

A spark of fury flared in his eyes, and he immediately rushed back to the Stirling mansion.

At this time, Elowen was sharing the good news with Leopold’s mother, Jessica Stirling.

Jessica was beaming from ear to ear.

Two years ago, her son was attacked by a poisonous snake in the Amazon rainforest. Although he survived, the venom had affected the quality of his sperm, and there was no telling when he would fully recover.

Thankfully, he had stored his sperm prior to his trip.

Jessica grabbed his hand. “I did all of this for you. Your dad had four sons, but you are my only son. You may be the head of the Stirling Group now, but your three brothers are always lurking in the shadows. Only when you have a legitimate heir will they give up.”

She placed her other hand on Elowen’s belly and continued, “The operation was a success. Elowen is pregnant. Take her to the city hall to register for marriage tomorrow. Keep the pregnancy a secret to protect the child from any harm. We can announce it when it’s almost time for the delivery.”
