The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 243

It felt as if a bomb had exploded in Leopold's brain. His heart was like a stormy sea, raging with emotions.

"Do you love him that much?" His voice trembled with shock.

Aurelia's expression was cold and calm, "Arno and I never truly dated, we cannot talk about love. Even though our marriage is a contract, I have my morals. I will not betray you or date someone else behind your back. Arno and I are still good friends. Only after our divorce, when I am single again, will I consider dating him."

She wasn't sure what it felt like to be truly in love. But one thing she knew for sure: she wouldn't waste her emotions on the wrong person. That would be self-inflicted pain.

Leopold let out a heavy sigh as if he had just survived a cataclysmic disaster.

He straightened up and walked back to his desk, picking up his coffee mug and downing the last remnants of his black coffee, trying to calm down.

He didn't understand why he felt so anxious and scared at that moment, fearing that she might fall for Arnold.

But he was sure it had nothing to do with feelings, because he couldn't possibly like this cunning woman. It must be possessiveness, after all, they were legally bound.

"I will show you that Arnold is not your perfect match."

She scoffed, "Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. I thought Elowen was a better fit for you than Evelyn, but you still divorced Elowen to marry Evelyn, didn't you?"

Leopold's eyes narrowed and asked, "Are you still defending Elowen?"

"Even though you never married Elowen, in my eyes, she is the rightful one, and Evelyn is the mistress."

Aurelia pouted, resentment rising in her mind whenever she thought of him breaking his promise to have children with Evelyn.

Once Evelyn had her child, wouldn't she see Aurelia’s children as a thorn in her side, a constant annoyance?

Leopold was speechless, seriously doubting her sanity, "Then what are you?"
