The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 220

His fingers tightened abruptly, causing the glass cup in his hand to shatter with a loud "pop." Water trickled down onto the table, startling her.

"Are you alright, Mr. Leopold?"

Leopold sucked in a breath through his teeth, tossing the shards into the trash bin with a violent gesture that caused them to become even more pulverized.

Aurelia felt a bone-chilling coldness creep over her. She took a step forward, then retracted it.

Was the boss in a bad mood?

Had there been an argument with his sweetheart at the yacht party?

No wonder he had fled here before the party ended!

He was using her as an outlet for his anger, wasn't he?

She hadn't realized her role was multifunctional. Not only was she carrying his children, but also bearing his emotions!

"Mr. Leopold, I... I'll go take a shower." She tried to slink away along the wall, but he was on her in a flash, cornering her against the wall.

His gaze was direct and icy, like two sharp swords that could pierce her at any moment.

"Where did you go for dinner?" he demanded.

She shrank back slightly, "A creative restaurant at the Royal Emerald Resort."

"With whom?" His handsome face was covered in storm clouds, heralding a tempestuous mood.

Aurelia swallowed hard, "Your brother." She quickly added, "And my younger brother."

She didn't want to lie, but given his irritable mood, she feared any misinterpretation would make her the target of his anger, like that shattered glass.
