Chapter 218
Aurelia had always thought that he was going to be a lone wolf, never settling down.
Perhaps even the wind gets tired sometimes, hoping to find a cloud where it can rest and find peace.
However, the chances of finding a soulmate are even slimmer than winning the lottery. The vast majority of men who cheat and women who tempt them are not driven by true love, but by greed and lust.
She believed that Arno’s mother was after not just love, but also a prince’s position and the Stirling Group empire. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so desperate to climb up the ladder.
Snapping out of her thoughts, she picked up her glass of juice and smiled, “I wish you the best in finding your soulmate. May all lovers unite!”
“Same to you.” Arnold clinked his glass with hers, his eyes filled with a soft, foggy affection that was too intense to dissipate.
Halfway through their meal, he checked his WhatsApp.
The chat group was buzzing again today. The rumors about Leopold and Evelyn were continuously brewing, causing quite a stir. A lot of ambiguous videos of the two were released from the Rose Coast yacht party.
“Leopold and Evelyn went to the yacht party. It looks like Elowen will be crying a river again tonight.”
Aurelia’s hand, holding her fork, suddenly tightened, then slowly relaxed, and she put the fork down.
“Can I see?”
Arnold handed his phone to her.
In the video, Leopold was leaning on the alligator skin sofa on the deck, dressed in casual beachwear, radiating an indescribable lazy charm. His handsome features, highlighted by the glow of the sun, were so captivating that one could hardly take their eyes off him.
Evelyn, in a very S**y swimsuit, was flaunting her attractive body.
She was sitting next to Leopold, constantly leaning against him, being overly touchy–feely.
Aurelia felt she was short of using super glue to attach herself to Leopold.
There were many other people on the deck, but the two were unashamedly flaunting their affection, not caring about the presence of others.
Aurelia didn’t want to watch anymore. Her eyes hurt, and her chest felt like it was being suffocated by something.
Leopold was so picky and strict with her, even dictating how she dressed, forbidding her from wearing low–cut tops, or short skirts….
And Evelyn was dressed like that, almost naked, and he didn’t mind at all.
Indeed, for someone you like, you give them the green light in all aspects, pampering them to death no matter what they say or do. But for someone you dislike, even breathing is a mistake, and it’s a sin just to exist!
She handed the phone back to Arnold, picked up her glass, had some juice, and tried to wash away those inexplicable emotions that she shouldn’t have.
“Poor Ms. Elowen, if I were her, I would have broken off the engagement without hesitation, instead of torturing myself like this.”
Arnold gazed at her unblinkingly, his hazel eyes twinkling in the starlight, making him look mysterious and unfathomable.
