The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 965

She stuck out her tongue playfully. "So, Mr. Leopold, you're not only a self-deprecating act but also a master of self-mockery?"

He spread his hands and chuckled. "What can I do? I must win my wife back, or what if someone else steals you away?"

She leaned back in the lounge chair, gazing at the distant sunset, her beautiful eyes twinkling in the sunlight. "Well, it will depend on you, right?"

He leaned in suddenly, capturing her soft, red lips with his. "Do I need to pull out all the stops to show you every trick in the book?"

It was unnecessary. Leopold’s devilishly handsome face was an army in itself.

"I want someone who's all in," she murmured against his mouth.

"Good. That's what I am." He indulged in the sweet kiss as if he couldn't get enough, the taste of her lips so intoxicating, so alluring.

"Is your... period over?" he whispered, his voice heavy with desire.

She nodded, her mind a little light-headed from his kisses.

He scooped her up without warning. "Back to the hotel."

He was desperate to become one with her, to claim and conquer, not wanting to wait another second.

...

The next afternoon, Beverley headed to the Stirling Mansion.

She thought Aurelia had fired the bodyguard, but to her surprise, she saw him when she entered the living room.

She blinked in astonishment. "Why are you still here?"

"Where should I be?" Guardian Leopold countered with an unruffled question.

Beverley was shocked, and as she was about to retort, she saw Aurelia descending the staircase, who had just returned from the office and changed into a loose-fitting outfit.

"Beverley, you're just in time. We've got lobsters tonight. Stay for dinner."

"Okay" was all Beverley could say before she walked over and linked arms with Aurelia. "Aurelia, let's take a walk in the garden."

But Beverley wasn't convinced. She didn't believe for a second that Aurelia didn't care and that she would keep a married man as a boy toy, risking scandal and disgrace, unless Leopold had blinded her.

"Aurelia, Leopold must have hurt and disappointed you, right?"

Aurelia shrugged. "Leopold often just plays the part, very different from Mr. Chad."

Beverley sighed. Even now, Aurelia was defending Leopold. It seemed she had fallen for him at some point.

She must have realized it was over with Leopold, so she kept Peter, a replacement, close like a treasured gem.

"Aurelia, you still have Arnold. He loves you. When he returns from the Arctic, you two should get married."

Aurelia smiled. "I'm enjoying the single life right now. I'm in no rush to be caged by marriage again."

Beverley replied with worry, "You've got to be careful. Don’t do anything rash."

Aurelia playfully scolded her, "Me? I'm the most rational person here."
