The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 890

After a tumultuous day, Aurelia returned to the Stirling Estate with Kane in tow.

Leopold awaited her in the room. And as soon as she stepped through the door, he pulled her into a tight embrace.

She blinked in surprise, "What's this all about?"

"I'm in a foul mood. You've got a knack for getting under my skin and it takes days to shake it off." He buried his face in the crook of her neck, his stubble grazing her porcelain skin.

Aurelia was speechless, sensing a hint of emotional blackmail.

"Since when did you, the unshakable tycoon, become so fragile?"

His lips pressed against her neck, and he sucked gently, "I'm no Iron Man, how could I be indestructible? People would be upset, so cut down on the barbs. If I were to suffer a fatal blow one of these days, you'd be filled with regret."

Aurelia was speechless and said, "How could I possibly have such an effect? If I upset you, you could just kick me to the curb."

Leopold pinched her nose playfully, "Don't even think about it. If you truly angered me, I'd just lock you up in the attic."

Pushing against him with all her might, she tried to break free, but his arms were like steel bands, unyielding.

She aimed a kick at his shin.

"I'm not your property, and you can't restrict my freedom."

He captured her chin firmly, each word clear and forceful, "Alive or dead, you are mine. Heaven or hell, I'll always be by your side."

Aurelia thought it wasn't about affection or longing, and it was his colossal ego and competitive nature rearing his head.

"When I needed you, you coldly turned me away. Now I don't need you anymore. Let me savor the single life before I consider anything else."

Leopold's heart sank with the rising and falling tides of his emotions, and he could tell she had no plans to remarry him. Her heart was adrift, unwilling to settle.

"I'll change your mind. You're destined to be my wife." He said in determination.
