The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 898

Today, Aurelia was on a day off, planning a down-to-earth date with Leopold, to give him a taste of common folk's life.

She'd bet her last dollar that he'd never ridden a public bus or subway in his life.

As the leader of the Stirling family, he was always under close guard.

They slipped on latex masks before heading out, blending in with the crowd anonymously.

Leopold had a thing about cleanliness and wasn't fond of rubbing shoulders with strangers. Stepping into the subway station, he was immediately hit by the discomfort of the bustling crowd.

"Let's just drive. I'm really not a fan of the subway."

"Do you even have a regular car?" Aurelia quipped, knowing full well that all his vehicles were custom-made luxury models.

Leopold's eyebrows arched as he dialed Kevin. Soon enough, a nondescript Volkswagen Passat rolled up.

"Honey, there's nothing I can't do in Elysium."

Aurelia sighed inwardly, acknowledging Leopold's formidable wallet.

She had it all planned out, lunch first, then a mall crawl.

They found themselves at a cozy noodle shop.

No sooner had they sat down than familiar faces walked in, Megan and Jewel, taking a spot right beside them.

Megan was out for a little retail therapy and frowned upon seeing the modest establishment.

"Seriously? This is where you're taking me to eat?"

Jewel replied, "Try the pasta here, and they're the best in all of Elysium. You'll see."

Aurelia massaged her temples. The universe really did have a twisted sense of humor.

She ordered spicy pasta for herself and black pepper beef tenderloin pasta for Leopold since he couldn't handle spicy food. She added some bok choy with mushrooms, and a couple of servings of dessert to the order.

"I used to come here all the time. The pasta is amazing."

The girl shot back, "Must be why your husband left you, so you can't stand to see others happy."

Her boyfriend wrapped an arm around her, "Don't mind her, and she's probably just divorced."

The girl pouted, "Figures. Who'd stick around with someone like that?"

Their words hit a nerve. Rumors were swirling that Leopold would divorce Megan as soon as he was out of the hospital, and everyone was laughing at her behind her back.

She was on the verge of losing her mind.

"Who do you think you're speaking to? I'm someone you don't want to mess with in Elysium."

"Then enlighten us, who are you?" the girl challenged with a dismissive snort.

Jewel quickly intervened, "Let's just calm down, okay? She wasn't talking about you. You misunderstood. How could she see you with her back to you? She was talking about another table."

Aurelia couldn't help but smile, saying, "Actually, she was probably talking about us."
