The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 363

In the evening, Aurelia returned to the Rosewood Manor when she received a call from William, who was at Arnold's place.

She headed over to pick up William.

Arnold had been waiting for her, with countless explanations in his mind. But once he laid eyes on her, the words lodged in his throat.

"Aurelia..."

She knew he had something to say, so she asked Abbey to take William home first.

Once they were gone, she gave a smile and said, "Congratulations, Brother Arnold!"

Her words erected a chasm between them, shattering Arnold's heart to pieces.

"Aurelia, it's not what you think. I was set up by that damn woman, I would never touch her otherwise."

She shrugged, "Whatever the reason, it's your personal matter, and you don't need to explain to me."

What good would explanations do now? A searing pain, like a hot iron, scalded Arnold, and he said, "I'm sorry I let you down."

Aurelia looked up at him, a melancholic smile gradually making its way onto her face.

"You don't need to apologize to me because we're best friends. Friends don't need to apologize to each other. I've decided to say goodbye to the past and start a new life. You should forget about our past too, and start anew."

It was like a bolt of lightning had struck Arnold, and he fell to the ground.

He knew this was her final goodbye, and she wasn't going to give him another chance.

"Aurelia, don't give up on me." His eyes were a burning red, tears blurring his vision.

A single tear trickled down her cheek, "The day you chose to marry Lisa, I knew we were destined to be star-crossed lovers. Stop insisting. You will always be my dearest friend, my family. I hope you find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

Arnold clutched his head. She was his source of happiness. Without her, his world would become a desolate wasteland. How could he ever be happy?
