The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 256

It wasn’t long after Aurelia returned to her seat that Jelena and Leopold trickled back in.

Leopold got himself a glass of iced water, draining it in one gulp.

He felt a dull ache in his chest as if something was blocking his airways. He drank water to alleviate the discomfort.

He didn't dare to drink alcohol, fearing it would make him lose control.

Jelena sneaked a glance at him. She guessed his mood wasn't good. He always had a poker face, his emotions hard to fathom. If she hadn’t seen him pull Aurelia into the lounge, she wouldn't have noticed his unusual mood. It seemed that he and Aurelia hadn’t had a pleasant conversation.

If it was indeed a love triangle, and Arnold and Leopold were involved, they couldn't have had a nice conversation.

She glanced again at Aurelia, who was eating fruit with her head down, probably worried about giving herself away.

Just then, someone appeared at the main entrance. Many eyes subtly shifted in that direction.

Aurelia looked up to see Sheryl gracefully walking in. She was like a dark cloud drifting into a clear sky, making the atmosphere in this corner somewhat peculiar.

Fredric frowned, wishing for some peace.

"Leopold, marriage is like a tomb. Those who are not married are looking forward to marriage, but those who are married want a divorce. Be careful before you tie the knot, in case you end up with a woman who is not willing to divorce," Fredric cautioned Leopold, who looked towards Aurelia with gloomy eyes.

She was the exact opposite, desperate for a divorce, acting like she hated him.

Upon hearing Fredric's words, Evelyn nearly choked, afraid that Leopold might change his mind about their engagement. She quickly reassured him, "I won't do that, and If we're getting a divorce, I won't pester him."

But she thought to herself once they were married, she would be his wife for life. There was no possibility of divorce. She had been deeply in love with Leopold since the first time she saw him. But he loved Megan.

She had sacrificed so much for his love, even competing with Megan and Elowen. Why should she give it up?

To ease Jelena’s discomfort, Aurelia quickly picked up a plate of pastries saying, "These pies are delicious, you should try them."
