The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 230

He stooped down, his handsome face dangerously close to hers, almost touching. "Do you often dream of me?"

His warm breath, heavy with a heady mix of hormones, swirled around her face, like an intoxicating spell that made her cheeks redder, hotter, as if they were about to catch fire.

"Isn't it normal to dream of people close to us? I'm sure you dream of me too?"

A shadow of gloom crossed Leopold's face when he heard her words. Indeed, he often dreamt of this girl. He dreamt of her running around, playing hide and seek with him, yet never able to find her. He dreamt of her with other men, making him a cuckold, so infuriating that he woke up wanting to punch a punching bag...

"Dreaming of you must be a nightmare," he grumbled.

Right back at you, she thought.

"I thought you wouldn't come today," she said.

"Why?" He took off his coat, leaning against the bedpost, sitting next to her, an air of casual ease on his face.

She swallowed, whispering, "I heard you broke off your engagement with Elowen."

His eyebrows lifted slightly, his scorching gaze wandering on her face, seemingly trying to decipher her every subtle reaction. But she was calmer than he'd expected, so calm that it annoyed him. His eyebrows furrowed, "So what?"

"So, you should be celebrating your newly single status, not visiting me," she said seriously.

Her words felt like a bucket of cold water dumped over Leopold's head, dousing his mood and igniting his temper. "You don't wish for me to break off the engagement?" Leopold asked.

She bowed her head. It was his business. What did it have to do with her?

"You didn't break it off for me, did you?" It was for Evelyn!

She mumbled, as if talking to herself, but Leopold heard her, his eyebrows knitting together, anger flashing in his eyes.
