The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 

Fredric chuckled, “You all seem to be in a rush to have babies.” 

“I’m not in a hurry, but it’s Leopold who wants to get hitched soon.” Evelyn’s face flushed with a hint of shyness. 

“Is that so?” Fredric was skeptical. After all, it was Evelyn’s older sister, Megan, who was the true love of Leopold. 

Aurelia finished her juice and got up to use the restroom. One of the worst parts of being pregnant was the constant need to pee. 

Exiting the restroom, she had to walk through a long corridor, eerily quiet and devoid of any human 

presence. 

As she passed by the lounge, the door suddenly swung open. A strong arm reached out, pulling her inside with a swift motion. 

She was terrified, almost screaming out in fear. But when she saw his handsome yet icy face, her voice got stuck in her throat, leaving only fear. 

Leopold looked grim, his aura akin to a brewing storm. “So, you and Arnold are moving so fast, and you’re planning a wedding in Malta?” 

Aurelia calmed her nerves. Her wide–eyed defiance surfaced, “Aren’t you the same, Mr. Leopold? The moment you remarry, I’ll find someone else too.” 

Leopold glowered at her, his eyes aflame with anger. “Are you trying to provoke me?”

Leopold squinted, and his gaze was unfathomable. 

He could command everything, but he could never get her. She was unpredictable wild and cunning, elusive and bold. He couldn’t control her even if he had tried everything. 

His long fingers traced her cheek, moving over her skin, “You want me to be devoted to you?” 

“No.” She shook her head, “I’ve never held any hopes for you. I know we’re bound to divorce eventually, and I won’t entertain any vain fantasies.” 

Her candidness annoyed him to the point of gritting his teeth. 

“Have you never thought of being my wife?” 

Aurelia looked at his handsome face, seemingly chiseled by Venus herself, flawless. Yet, she couldn’t get him. 

No matter how hard she tried, she could never achieve the goal. 

“It’s impossible. Your wife should be a lady from a noble family, not a commoner like me. You don’t even respect me. I might be insignificant, but I have my dignity. I won’t cling to you and face your disdain.” 

Hearing this, Leopold was sad, like a sudden prick of a needle. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back, leaving only silence 

Aurelia knew he had accepted her words, as they were his true feelings. 

A bitter smile crept onto her face, and she said, “Mr. Leopold, we are like two diverging rays. Once we part,
