The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 209

As a single without experience in relationship, her heart yearned for an all-consuming romance, one that would lead her to the altar.

However, this was something that Leopold could never give her. She was no fool to harbor such illusions.

A shadow flickered across Leopold's mind, his eyes hardened with a cold laugh as he commented, "Childish."

A bitter-sweet expression crossed Aurelia's face. No matter what she said or did, he would always find fault with it. She was used to it. Suppressing a yawn, she stood up, "I'm tired, going to sleep. You can read the kids a bedtime story."

Enough talk for the night.

Leopold's lips tightened, his demeanor stern again, "Don't be Elowen's adviser again, or you'll pay."

"Sure." She shrugged indifferently, intending to play it both ways.

......

Aurelia arranged to meet Jelena for dinner at Starry Bites Diner after work.

Jelena arrived shortly after.

"Black Friday is coming up soon, have you been busy?" Aurelia asked.

"Not really, even though I do sell stuff live, I mainly focus on fitness and entertainment." Jelena replied.

"Oh." Aurelia sipped her fruit juice, "I saw some people causing trouble on your live show, hope it didn't affect you?"

Jelena flicked her hair nonchalantly, "I've seen my fair share of clowns. They're not worth my time."

"You're a public figure, any small incident can attract attention. Better be careful." Aurelia warned.

Jelena laughed, her tone teasing, "Are you worried that I'll become a home-wrecker?"

Aurelia shook her head quickly, "Not at all. You've got so many top-tier suitors, you'd never settle for a married man."
