The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 122

"You sure know how to keep me awake," she chuckled awkwardly, heading into the room to change into a loose-fitting sweatshirt.

Settling into the couch, she nibbled on an apple slice.

Pregnant women need plenty of fruits, to give their babies balanced nutrition.

"Mr. Leopold, are you being too harsh on poor Elowen? Each time she comes over, you're nowhere to be found. She's not just your fiancée, but also your nominal cousin, you two practically grew up together. There should be a close bond, if not love, then family ties at least."

Leopold shot her a dark look, "Sympathizing with her, are you?"

Aurelia shrugged, "Just womanly empathy. Her love for you is crystal clear to anyone who sees it."

Leopold stuffed another apple slice into her mouth, effectively silencing her prattling, "Enough with the needless compassion."

Aurelia suspected that Leopold subconsciously equated Evelyn with Megan.

Clearly, Evelyn was striving hard to replace her sister, right down to the way she dressed and did her makeup, mirroring Megan.

"Do you plan on breaking off your engagement with Elowen?" She asked, chewing her apple, her voice muffled.

Was it for Evelyn?

Was he going to risk it all for a woman?

Leopold leaned in slightly, his handsome face coming closer, his eyes glinting mysteriously in the light, "Do you want me to break it off with Elowen?"

She stroked her belly, "Depends on who you're doing it for."

"And who do you hope it's for?" Leopold's lips curled into a wicked smirk.

"Of course, I'd hope it's for the children, to find them a kind-hearted, gentle stepmother. But if it's for some gold-digger, then forget it," she said frankly.

Leopold raised an eyebrow, "Which gold-digger?"

She rolled her eyes, who else but Evelyn?

"Do you have a lot of gold-diggers around you?"

A sharp, icy glint flashed across Leopold's eyes.

No gold-diggers, just one manipulative diamond digger.
