"Aurelia, give me a chance. I'll prove to you that I can be a good husband," he gently released her, pleading earnestly.
Aurelia was already exhausted and scared. When she finally mustered the courage to overcome all obstacles and be with Arnold, he married another woman. Perhaps even the deepest feelings couldn't withstand unexpected surprises.
If the man standing before her encountered the same dilemma as Arnold, he would surely make the same choice, wouldn't he?
"I'm tired. I need some peace." Aurelia replied weakly.
Leopold stared at her profoundly, his gaze subtle and intriguing.
"Alright. I'll give you time. But remember, I won't give you up for anyone or anything. You are my wife in this life unless I die."
Aurelia lowered her gaze, her long, thick eyelashes concealing a hint of sadness within her eyes.
Who could predict the future? Even now, if he showed a bit of sincerity towards her, but when she aged and lost her beauty, he would likely discard her for a younger, more attractive woman.
He would promise her a good life, but he would have the other woman. This was probably the most respect she could expect.
"Today, I need to go home and take care of William."
"In the future, you can bring him to the Stirling Mansion. He is also a child of the Stirling family," Leopold said in a deep voice.
Aurelia had no intention of revealing William's identity yet, as she had no plans to reconcile with Leopold.
Perhaps being single was better, that way, she wouldn't get hurt anymore.
The news of Arnold's marriage quickly spread throughout high society.
Magnolia's transplant surgery was successful, but she was still in danger and needed Lisa to regularly donate blood to her.
On Saturday, Leopold brought Kane to Rosewood Manor.
Upon seeing them through the peephole, William was shocked.
No way, both Kane and Mr. Ice were here to compete for his mom.
He quickly put on a mask.
Aurelia patted his head, "It's Kane and Uncle Leopold, William. You need to behave well, okay?"
