The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 105

With a slight smile, she said, "True friends are those with whom you can share your deepest thoughts. If something ever troubles you, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with me and let me help carry the burden."

A bitter smile tugged at his lips as he dropped his hand and leaned back on the couch, rubbing his throbbing temples. "Sorry, I think I've had a little too much to drink tonight."

He had been pondering over Avery's words, feeling a suffocating heaviness in his chest, which made him have a few more drinks than usual. He was indeed drunk, otherwise he never would have said those things.

Aurelia dialed room service and requested some lemon. Then, she got him a glass of warm water, "Drink this warm water first. I'll make you a lemon tea to sober up."

"Thanks," he took the water from her hands.

"Friends don't need to say thanks, remember?" She gave him a radiant smile.

Arnold couldn't help but smile back.

Once the lemon arrived, she cleaned it and prepared him a cup of lemon tea.

"Drink it. Remember not to take a cold shower tonight, keep your body warm."

"Alright," he nodded.

After he had finished his tea and was tucked in bed, she left.

Upon exiting his room, she ran into Avery who had just finished talking to their mom and was on his way to find her.

"Was Arno drunk?" he asked.

"A bit," she replied as they walked to Avery's room.

Avery whispered, "Arno seemed a bit off today. Do you think he got jealous seeing his brother take you away?"

Aurelia swatted his head playfully, "Stop making up stories, Avery. Your matchmaking can lead to some awkward situations."

Avery stared at her, as if trying to see through her twinkling eyes and decipher her thoughts. "Do you like Arno?"
