The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375 

A chill crept up from the soles of Aurelia’s feet. 

She was almost certain this wasn’t her hallucination. She was completely sane, with no mental issues to speak of. 

There was only one explanation – she had seen a ghost! 

It must have been there for Leopold, not her. She wanted to ask Leopold if he had seen it, but choked on her words at the last moment. 

If she were to bring it up suddenly, Leopold would likely get upset. 

Drawing the curtains, she followed Leopold back to their room. 

The next day, after breakfast, Nina and Mira care for Kane and William. They had planned to go crab hunting on the rocky beach together. 

Aurelia sat on a nearby beach chair, keeping an eye on the children while she painted. 

Arnold walked by and glanced at her canvas. 

She was painting a woman in red, but only the body. The face was left blank. 

“Who’s that you’re painting?” he asked curiously. 

Aurelia put down her paintbrush, giving him a reserved yet meaningful look. 

“Do you believe in ghosts?” 

Her voice was so soft that only Arnold heard her. 

Arnold was taken aback, thinking she was joking, and adopted a teasing tone, “I’ve never seen one. I guess they’re afraid of me, so they don’t dare come near.” 

Aurelia’s gaze fell back on her painting. “I saw one last night.” 

Arnold was visibly shaken, his eyes quickly moving to the faceless woman on the canvas, “You’re painting… a ghost?” 

Aurelia didn’t answer, picking up her paintbrush to fill in the woman’s features. 

Arnold was shocked, his eyes widened in surprise, “Is this… Megan?” 

She raised an eyebrow slightly, “Does it look like her?” 

Arnold nodded. It was uncanny. 

“Did Leopold see her too?” 

“I don’t know,” Aurelia shrugged. “She must have been looking for Leopold, not me.” 

“That’s not necessarily true.” Arnold’s expression became serious. “If you see her again, let 

1/2 

me know right away. I want to see whether she’s human or a ghost.” 

Aurelia’s eyes darkened. If Megan was still alive, why didn’t she show herself? Why the mystery? 

Was she deliberately trying to scare her away? 

Just then, Leopold walked out of the hotel. He had just finished a video conference, 

Upon spotting him, Lizzy quickly approached, flashing a charming smile, “Mr. Leopold, care to join me for a drink?” 

Leopold’s response was as cold as ice, “Not interested.” 

Lizzy felt a chill run down her spine. Which man doesn’t feel their pulse quicken at the sight of her? Who could resist her beauty? But Leopold treated her like she was invisible. He completely ignored her! 

Lizzy was starting to question her own charm!
