The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 163

He made a circuit around the place, failing to spot a trace of Aurelia. His frustration mounting, he ordered Kevin to find Aurelia without delay.

Shortly, Kevin called back, "Mr. Leopold, Ms. Aurelia has left early with her little brother."

Leopold's mouth tightened at the corners. "Arrange a car for me immediately; I need to get back to Rosewood Manor."

Meanwhile, Aurelia and her brother were already on their way back, sitting on the subway.

Aurelia's cell phone rang; it was her mom, Jolin. "Sweetie, why didn't you tell me you were ill?"

She drew a sharp breath, "I'm not ill, mom. I'm fine."

"You're not married yet, and having fibroids could seriously affect your health and your ability to have kids in the future," Jolin warned.

Aurelia felt herself speechless. That big mouth Avery had secretly snitched on her!

"I'm already on medication."

"I've just booked a train ticket. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. We'll go to the hospital and have you properly checked out."

"Mom, there's really no need..."

Before she could finish, Jolin cut her off. "The ticket's already booked. Remember to pick me up tomorrow."

Aurelia was left reeling after the call. Angrily, she smacked Avery's head. "Why did you tell mom about my condition? Now she's in a panic and coming over."

If her mom discovered that she wasn't suffering from fibroids but was pregnant, she'd be in deep trouble.

Avery pulled a face. "I was just worried about you. Mom knows more about women's health issues."

Aurelia rubbed her forehead.

This was so messed up!

"Forget it, I'll stay at your apartment tonight. We'll pick up mom together tomorrow."

Avery nodded. "Sounds good. I live alone, so it's easier than your place with all those roommates."

...

Leopold returned to his apartment, only to find no sign of Aurelia.

"Hasn't Aurelia come back?"

"She did, just to pick up some fresh clothes. Said she's staying at Avery's tonight," Laura answered.
