The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 197

After the meeting, Kevin trailed after Leopold into his office, "Mr. Leopold, the handbag you ordered will be air freighted from Paris the day after tomorrow."

"Toss it!" Leopold squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, an ominous chill emanating from him that seemed to turn the office frosty.

Kevin sighed heavily. He had to do something. Being constantly in the crosshairs of Leopold's stormy moods felt like being on the verge of being struck by lightning at any moment.

"Ms. Aurelia's eyes are red and swollen. Did she cry yesterday?"

A cold light shot from Leopold's eyes, sharp as a blade. "Do you have too much time on your hands?"

Kevin cleared his throat, gathering his courage. "When a woman suddenly sulks, gives you the cold shoulder and cries in secret, she's probably jealous."

Leopold paused, a glimmer of light momentarily breaking through his icy gaze.

Aurelia was jealous? That was a new thought!

Seeing Leopold fall silent, Kevin continued, "Your recent affair with Evelyn has been all over the news. Ms. Aurelia must know something about it. The day you told me that Aurelia started sulking for no reason coincided with your trip to the horse racing track with Evelyn. There were many intimate videos of you two. Could it be that Ms. Aurelia saw them too?"

Leopold leaned back in his grand office chair, his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. Half of the anger in his chest extinguished upon hearing Kevin's analysis.

Seeing his expression soften, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Leopold, should we wait for the handbag?"

His long fingers swept over his cheek, his gaze suddenly sharpening, instantly regaining its chill. "Throw it away. Don't make me repeat myself."

...

For two consecutive days, Leopold didn't visit the apartment. Aurelia knew he would never come again.

It was fine, she enjoyed her freedom. He didn't need to run back and forth and could devote his time to his new girlfriend.

It was a win-win situation.
