She pulled a face, refusing to heed his unreasonable prohibitions.
"Your aunt and Elowen surely won't back down easily, their war with Evelyn isn't over yet."
Leopold clutched her disobedient ear, "Whatever they fight about, it's none of your business. Stay out of it!"
"Don't worry, I'd rather run than get involved." She pried his hand loose and rubbed her ear.
The man's most terrifying trait was his cold, cruel, and ruthless disposition. He didn't care about sentiments or relationships. It was a moth-to-flame situation to fall for him.
After a moment of silence, she sighed, "Even though Elowen lost for now, it doesn't mean Evelyn will ultimately win. When she gets old and loses her charm, you'll have to let her go."
Leopold choked a bit, glaring at her, "Do you know me that well?"
She smirked sarcastically, "Which tycoon doesn't like to have many lovers? I'd rather have a simple, honest man to spend my life with."
Hearing this, Leopold's temper flared up. Just as he was about to lose his cool, her belly suddenly moved.
A baby foot kicked, and they both felt it clearly.
Aurelia quickly changed the topic, "The babies might be waiting for your bedtime story, seems a bit impatient."
He sucked in a breath through gritted teeth.
Lucky her, for the sake of their children, he would let her off the hook this time.
He gently rubbed her belly, as if comforting the babies, then picked up the book from the bedside table.
