The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 152

"Big boss isn't really gonna call off the engagement, is he?" Jenny stuck out her tongue.

"Who knows? It's not a small matter, but it's not exactly a big deal either. It all depends on how it's handled," Darcy replied.

Lily pouted. "If the engagement is really off, wouldn't that make Evelyn the CEO's wife?"

Aurelia took a sip of her water, standing up. "A marriage proposal set by Mr. Chad isn't something easily dismissed. Let's stop gossiping and get some lunch."

With that said, everyone stopped their chit-chat, closed their laptops, and left the office together.

In the afternoon, a memo was sent from management.

A team-building event was being held this weekend at Greystone Hollow.

Aurelia was somewhat excited. She always loved company team-building events.

Unfortunately, due to her pregnancy, she couldn't fully participate in the activities.

For the next two days, Leopold was out of the office, on a business trip.

The apartment was unusually quiet. After dinner, she would lounge on the sofa and binge-watch her favorite shows.

For some reason, she felt a little bored. Even though Laura sat beside her, watching the shows with her, she still felt a pang of emptiness, as if something was missing.

Thursday was the airing of Avery's reality show, "Dream for Young."

After dinner, she sat in front of the TV, waiting for the show to start.

Suddenly, the door opened, and she turned her head to see a familiar, handsome figure.

Leopold was dressed in a custom-tailored suit. It was clear that he had come straight from the airport, as he hadn't changed his clothes.

Soon?

Leopold's eyebrows furrowed. Why did it feel like these past two days were especially long, as if each day had 72 hours?

Laura came out from the kitchen. "Have you eaten, sir?"
