The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 310

"Kane, fancy a game of chess? The weather's great today. Perhaps I could take you out to fly a kite later?"

Kane remained poker-faced, responding indifferently, "I have a competition coming up. I don't have time for games."

"Where's the competition?" Elowen asked, intrigued.

"Sydney." Kane lied effortlessly. He wouldn't risk telling her the truth for fear she'd tag along.

Elowen, quick-witted as ever, immediately set to book a flight. "I will definitely bring along a cheer squad to cheer you on."

Kane's attention returned to the chessboard, ignoring her completely.

Elowen pouted, disgruntled. The boy was just like Leopold, both of them as cold as ice, hard to melt. When she had her own children someday, she'd kick him out of sight.

Leopold was back.

Hearing the butler's greeting, Elowen hurried downstairs to greet him.

"Leopold, you're back. I came to see Kane, bought him some new toys."

Leopold's handsome face was as cold as ice. Ever since Aurelia left, his world had lost all its warmth and light, filled only with coldness and pain.

He brushed past her without a word, heading upstairs as if she were merely a wisp of air.

The coldness radiating from him froze Elowen's smile instantly, her disappointment surging like a tide. But she wasn't discouraged. After all, he wasn't just ignoring her, and he was the same with all women.

She, on the other hand, had an advantage. After all, she had free access to the Stirling mansion, while other women could hardly catch a glimpse of him.

"Leopold, Aurelia's gone. You should find a mother for Kane, because child needs a mother."

"I'll only marry once, to one woman. Don't waste your time." Leopold left those words behind, disappearing around the corner of the staircase.

Aurelia, alive or dead, would be the only woman he ever married.

If she was truly gone, when Kane grew up and could stand on his own feet, he'd go find her. No matter where she was, he'd find her, and they'd never be apart again.
