The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 213

Leopold shifted his gaze, stood up, walked over to the easel, picked up the brush, and began to paint a image representing himself.

She was stunned.

He could paint, and he was damn good at it!

Heaven, was he trying to hog all the talent? Was there any left for the rest of us?

He painted himself next to her, making it look like they were a loving couple with two adorable children. It was so warm, so beautiful.

That was a sight Aurelia never dared to imagine. After all, such fantasies could only lead to melancholy and disappointment. He and she were only passing ships in the night. Once they crossed paths, they would diverge indefinitely, never to intersect again.

Quickly shaking off these thoughts, she gave him a thumbs up, grinning, "Mr. Leopold, you're quite a Renaissance talent. I'm thoroughly impressed."

Leopold put down his brush, turned around and walked over. With a dominant gesture, he pinned her against the glass door of the terrace. His handsome face hovered over hers, nearly touching. His eyes, shimmering in the sunlight, were fixed on her.

"Are you sure you can still look at other men after meeting a catch like me?" His voice, deep and enchanting, was filled with arrogance. But he had every right to be!

She took a quiet, deep breath. His musky scent was mixed with her breath, wafting across her face, making her feel tipsy, like she had too much wine.

Swallowing hard, she finally managed to say, "Let me put it in metaphor. Even after having a luxury dinner, I would still crave a homemade burger. Even after carrying a Hermes Birkin, I can still hold a normal handbag. I’m...not picky."

Once their divorce was finalized, she would immediately erase him from her memory to avoid any stark contrasts.

Leopold frowned, flicking her forehead without holding back, "Is that even a fair comparison?"

She hung her head low and sighed, "Mr. Leopold, I’m already striving hard at work. I don’t want to have to fight for love or marriage. That's too exhausting. I just want to take it easy and wait for Cupid to bring my soulmate to me."
