The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 179

"Huh? What are they doing here?" Aurelia's heart jolted in surprise.

Ritchie was her uncle Rahul's son, the big baby of the Hawthorne family, spoiled by Rahul, Perla and his grandparents. He was nearly thirty and still a layabout, living off his parents.

Jelena pulled a face, "Apparently, Ritchie met a friend online, they've known each other for a year, and he's coming to meet her. Perla didn't feel comfortable with him traveling alone, so she's accompanying him."

Aurelia broke into a light sweat, instantly thinking of Emma.

Damn, Ritchie's online friend couldn't be Emma, could it?

If Perla became Emma's mother-in-law, that would be a sight to see!

If things didn't end up in chaos, it would be a surprise!

"If you're available tomorrow, I'll come over and we can grab a meal together."

"Sure." Jelena nodded.

Aurelia chatted with her for a few more minutes before ending the call.

Coming out of her room, she saw Leopold sitting on the couch, his eyes particularly deep, as if they were tinted by the night.

"Ritchie is your cousin?"

She blinked in surprise, "You know him?"

"No, just asking." Leopold switched to a casual tone.

She didn't think much of it. The big boss wouldn't be interested in her family affairs.

She went to the cabinet and took out two bottles of juice, handing one to him.

He opened it, took a small sip, and lazily said, "You and Ritchie don't seem to get along well, do you?"

Aurelia was secretly amazed. True to his status as a big boss, he was astute and wise. He could accurately judge her relationship with Ritchie just from her brief comments.

To be precise, her family didn't get along with Rahul's family, or even her grandparents!
