The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1051

Lisbeth took a leisurely sip of her coffee and said in a relaxed tone, “Aurelia, if you take Sheryl's side, do you think Jelena won’t hold it against you?”

Aurelia replied, “It's not as if Jelena is pursuing Fredric, rather, it's Fredric who's relentlessly pursuing her. Jelena even quit her job and went abroad to avoid him. There are plenty of well-off bachelors after her, and since Fredric can’t get a divorce, wouldn’t it be better for her to find someone who’s devoted and marry him instead?”

Beverley curled her lip in disdain, “So that means Fredric truly fell out of love. Once a man’s heart changes, not even wild horses can drag it back.”

Sheryl's face turned pale. In her eyes, Jelena was clearly playing hard to get, luring and rejecting at the same time. Jelena was nothing but a modern-day Helen of Troy.

“Men always want what they can’t have. If a woman keeps him on his toes, he’ll always be itching for her.” Sheryl said.

Beverley chimed in, “But hasn’t he got her already? They had sex in the car for five hours. Maybe it’s just that Jelena is too gorgeous. No one in the Aurelia’s family isn’t drop-dead beautiful. Any normal guy who lays eyes on a bombshell like Jelena would have his blood pumping and hormones raging.”

Sheryl retorted, “No matter how beautiful a woman is, she’ll age. I was even prettier than her in my youth. As beauty fades, so does love. Once a woman gets old, men naturally start looking for younger, prettier faces. If Aurelia reaches my age, who’s to say Leopold won’t be out chasing some younger beauty?”

Aurelia was speechless. How did the conversation end up focusing on her?

“It’s not always like that. Some couples grow old together. A pretty face is common, but a lively spirit is one in a million. A woman has to maintain her charm, not just with her looks, which will fade with age, but with her character and soul.”

The words were casual, but they struck a chord.
