The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 850

Aurelia glanced sideways at Leopold, the last person she could ever trust. If he were reliable, pigs might just sprout wings and fly.

With an effortless flex of his iron-strong arm, Leopold pulled her into his embrace, his bushy eyebrows knitting together slightly. "Am I not charming in your eyes?"

Indeed, he was devilishly handsome, a sight for sore eyes. How could he not be charming?

It was just that her self-control was too formidable.

"I'm not some lovestruck girl anymore, all giddy on dopamine. My heart has got hurt too much. It's become still as a pond, in full-on defense mode."

Leopold heaved a resigned sigh. "Let's kickstart the romance again and get that dopamine flowing."

"Are you going to woo me all over?" Her eyes crinkled with amusement, a playful tease in her gaze.

"What do you say?" His handsome face nearly touched hers, his tall nose lightly brushing against hers, an intangible provocation. It was an outright temptation.

The deep, masculine scent of him was full of male hormones, sending her heartbeat into a frantic race, her pulse in disarray.

"It won't be easy. Those who've tried to woo me know that. They've nicknamed me 'The Iron Maiden.'"

His lips curved into an alluring smile. "I love a good challenge." He was determined to win her heart back from Arnold.

...

It was back-to-school season. Kane, William, and Skyler got out of a luxurious Rolls-Royce and walked into the campus, hand in hand.

The Pinnacle Ivy League School's elite district welcomed children with high IQs from all over the globe.

Kane and William were in Class A, the top class of the gifted school.

Laughter erupted through the class.

Rocky stuck his tongue out at Ramona. "Little isn’t even a name. I don’t want that."

Their teacher arrived, a middle-aged woman with black-framed glasses. She was Ms. Judy, a mathematics Ph.D. from Oxford and their math teacher.

Kane and William knew Ms. Judy, the star teacher at the elite campus. Arnold and Leopold were her students as well.

After getting acquainted, Ms. Judy led the students to the lecture hall for the grand opening ceremony, where they met other schoolfellows.

Following the school anthem, the principal took the stage. "You, our children, are destined for greatness from the start. The leap forward in human technology and the quantum jump we desire will come from you..."

Vivian's attention was secretly on Kane the whole time. She had never seen a boy as good-looking as him.
