The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 278

"What?" Jolin was utterly shocked, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. "But what about Arnold? Didn't he claim the child was his?"

"He's only the children's uncle," Leopold said in a low tone.

Jolin collapsed onto the couch. She had considered that the child might be Leopold's, but she hadn't expected that they were actually married.

Lowering her gaze, she took a look at the infant in her arms, whose features were strikingly similar to the man standing in front of her.

"You young guys are really..."

She was bewildered, her mind in a whirlwind of emotions. But there was one thing she was resolute about. "Since you're married, you can't divorce! The children were just born, and you want to divorce? Do you take marriage as a game? Have you ever thought about your child?"

Aurelia bit her lip, replying, "Mom, he and I are only..."

She was quickly interrupted by Leopold. "She's upset with me for not being there to protect the other child."

Jolin sighed deeply. "Aurelia, I understand you're heartbroken, but you need to consider the living child..." As she was speaking, the baby suddenly started crying. The cries tugged at Aurelia's heartstrings, and all her emotions were instantly suppressed. All she wanted was to protect this remaining child.

"Mom, let me hold him!"

Jolin stood up. "You rest, I have experience with this. The baby is hungry, it's feeding time."

Leopold quickly called Laura from the other room to prepare milk formula for the baby.

Once the baby was fed, he stopped crying, sucking on the pacifier contentedly.

As Jolin fed the baby, she tried to comfort him. "Did you get scared because you heard mommy and daddy talking about divorce? Don't worry, they're just venting their frustrations. They'll reconcile soon and won't really divorce. Our little angel needs a complete family to grow up healthy and happy."

Her words were actually directed at her daughter and son-in-law.

Aurelia's heart was twisted in knots. Their marriage was initially just a contract, how could they not divorce? He's probably waiting to marry his sweetheart! As for his unusual attitude today, it's probably due to guilt over the lost child, right?

Thinking of the child, her heart was once again wrapped in sadness.

After staying at the hospital for two days, Aurelia was discharged and moved into a villa arranged by Leopold.

Jessica buried her grandson. He rested in a small crystal casket, buried in the Stirling family's cemetery.

Aurelia was filled with confusion. She was sure she had heard the baby cry. Why did the doctor say he didn't breathe when he was born? Was it all her hallucination?
