The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 169

Aurelia playfully stuck out her tongue.

Actually, Avery and Sophie do make quite a good on-screen couple .

After all, age-gap romances have been in vogue lately. As the saying goes, age is just a number.

Arnold picked up a pebble and lightly tossed it. The little pebble skipped across the water's surface, creating ripples that spread out in concentric circles.

“If I really do start dating someone, will you get jealous?”

“Huh?” She paused, then burst into laughter. “You're not the type to prioritize romantic relationships over friendships, why would I get jealous?”

Arnold lowered his gaze, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

The sunlight illuminated her face, making her look more innocent, pure, bright, and youthful.

Perhaps this kind of relationship was just nice, carefree and without any reservations.

“I've always put my closest friends first. Friends are more important for me.”

She blinked, her glistening eyes were like two bright stars in the sky, shining and pure.

“Wouldn't your girlfriend be upset, thinking that you don't value her?”

He fiddled with the sand beneath his feet, a smirk playing on his lips. “If she's too petty, it only means we're not a good match. I've dated a few girls before, but unfortunately, none of them were the kind of person I could truly connect with.”

She let out a soft sigh, and revealed a touch of self-deprecating humor, “True love can't be sought out; it's a matter of fate. I'm quite zen about it, not wanting to make an effort, just waiting for fate to come to me.”

Arnold couldn't help but chuckle. She truly was indeed a slow-type, someone who needed him to warm her up gradually.

...

After the shoot, they had dinner together before Aurelia headed back to her apartment.

She had no choice but to follow the orders of her boss; otherwise she would face severe consequences.
