The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 312

Aurelia stood there, as if turned to stone, bewildered and lost.

It felt like hundreds of wild horses were racing and trampling in her head, and thousands of sharp knives were stabbing at her heart. She had never thought that she would run into him here and now!

"Aurelia!" Leopold pulled her into his arms. Overwhelmed by emotions, his eyes burned, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his heart roared like a stormy sea, filled with a mix of emotions.

"You finally agreed to see me. Are you still mad at me, blaming me for not finding Liam, so you've been hiding and refusing to see me?"

He buried his face in her neck, desperately inhaling her sweet scent.

She could smell the alcohol on him. He seemed to be drunk, mistaking her for a ghost.

"I'm...not Aurelia. Aurelia is dead."

"No matter who you are, I won't let you go again." He held her tightly, afraid that once he let go, she would leave, she would disappear.

A tear slipped from his eye, falling onto her neck. The warm moisture made her heart tremble.

He was untouchable, prideful, and ever so arrogant—the golden boy of Elysium. How could he shed tears for someone as insignificant as her?

He had never liked her, had he? She was just a person who could be easily replaced.

"Leopold, from the moment I jumped into the sea, our fate ended. All I ask is that you take good care of Kane, then I'll be at peace."

He looked up at her, his eyes filled with pain. "And what about me? Don't you have any feelings for me?"

Aurelia looked down, her long eyelashes casting a melancholy shadow on her face.

She had a place for him in her heart. That was all she could do.
