The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 344

Leopold nearly choked on his drink, coughing into his hand to cover it. He said, "I've never even slept with her, so how's she pregnant?"

"That's not possible." She blurted out. They were always showing off their affection in public, so there was no way they hadn't been intimate. She wasn't a fool.

"I'm not one to fuss about these things, so you don't have to hide anything from me."

Leopold chuckled, putting a hand on her shoulder and looking at her seriously, "I always keep my word. I told you, no other woman will bear my child and I intend to keep it that way."

For a moment, she was at a loss. She hadn't crossed any boundaries with Arnold either, but she couldn't say a word. Otherwise, William's secret wouldn't be safe.

Until the cooling-off period was over and until she decided to reconcile, she wouldn't reveal the secret.

"Aren't you high-society types all about marrying within your circle? Why don't you find a rich heiress to marry?"

Leopold playfully nudged her nose, grinning, "Didn't you say you wanted to achieve financial freedom through your efforts, to be a high-society woman yourself? That's far better than being a rich heiress."

She blushed, that was her lifelong goal, but it seemed so far away.

"I'm just starting, and I don't know when I'll achieve it." She said.

He gently patted her head and said, "I believe in you, and you can do it."

She smiled awkwardly, falling silent for a bit before changing the subject, "I heard that Arnold's mother will be at the wedding, and do you think Mrs. Jessica will...?" She hesitated, but he understood.

Leopold wasn't worried, "My mother's seen it all, and she can handle it."

Hearing this, Aurelia felt reassured. "What's Arnold's mother like?"

Leopold didn't want to comment, he simply warned, "Don't get too close to her, and don't believe everything she says."
