The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 24

She picked up her glass, took a sip of water to pacify her swirling emotions. "Don't be too upset. You'll have a wife and kids in the future. They will be your closest people." Aurelia said.

Arnold exhaled softly, "It's not easy to marry someone you truly love."

Aurelia agreed with this sentiment. For remarkable men, women who gain their affection were rare. Most of the time, the women were smitten while the men remained indifferent.

As she was pondering, Arnold's voice rang out again, "Do you have someone you like?"

"No." Aurelia answered.

Aurelia pursed her lips. She wasn't one for unrequited love. If it was one-sided, she'd give up immediately, unwilling to torment herself.

A charming smile played on Arnold's lips, subtle yet intriguing, "Maybe you'll have someone soon."

At the earliest, she'd have to wait until her child was born and divorce Leopold. Aurelia responded with a light smile, steering the conversation back on track, "I'll make some design sketches according to your request. You can pick one you like later."

"Okay." Arnold nodded.

Afterwards, Aurelia escorted him to the elevator, "I'll send the sketches to your email when they're done."

As the elevator door opened, she turned to leave and only to be stopped by Arnold. "Wait a moment, Aurelia." He walked over and gently brushed her hair with his long fingers.

Her cheeks flushed, "What’s wrong?"

"Don't move." He removed a piece of lint from her hair.

She felt a bit embarrassed and scratched her head.

She had thought... Ah, what was she thinking!
