The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 28

Annoyed, Leopold’s face was just as icy, "I don't have an interest in others' affairs. If you insist on dragging me into a web with some insignificant woman, then I can grant you your wish."

Elowen recoiled, daring not to speak again. If that little minx got involved with Arnold, she'd certainly be shown the red card by Leopold.

After dinner, Aurelia took a shower once back home. It was just her and Laura at home, so she dressed casually, slipping into a camisole nightdress before getting out. In the middle of the living room, a tall figure caught her eye, causing her to startle.

"Mr. Leopold, what brings you here?" Aurelia asked.

Leopold was boiling with anger. There was a fire inside him that he couldn't quench. He had to confront the root of it all! He approached, step by step, and his imposing shadow gradually engulfed her, "Do you think I don't know about your little schemes?"

Aurelia instinctively backed away, until her path was blocked by the wall. The man's aura was too overpowering and domineering, making it hard for her to breathe. "What schemes?" Aurelia asked.

She was so innocent and harmless. How could she have any malicious intent!

Leopold's hands braced against the wall, trapping her in a corner. His gaze darkly fixed on her. Her nightgown was somewhat sheer. Its pale pink hue accentuated her glowing skin.

It was worn over bare skin.

He was a head taller than her, and from his vantage point, he could take in the gorgeous sight in full. A light fragrance emanated from her hair, acting like a catalyst and causing his body to suddenly tense. His blood vessels subtly expanded.

Damn it! Realizing his own reaction, he became even more irritated. Had she anticipated his arrival, so she deliberately dressed in such a way to tempt him?

"You're indeed cunning." Leopold said.

Aurelia didn't understand a thing, staring at him with a blank look. Her heart was pounding. "I didn't do anything, really." Aurelia said.
