The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 403

"Whatever, I don't love you, either. Had you agreed to the divorce, I would have been married to Arnold and back in Goldstone, living my happy life by now. You ruined my happiness, so don't you dare expect me to fulfill yours. Let's rot together in this hell!" She spat out the words as if daring him to react, her resentment bubbling like a raging river.

A sharp pain pierced through Leopold's gaze as every word she uttered was a blade, slashing mercilessly at his heart, leaving him wounded and cold.

He knew her heart always belonged to Arnold, and he was merely a footnote in her life.

If Arnold wasn't married, she wouldn't be bearing such resentment against him.

After all, where else could hate possibly stem from if there was no love?

"You refused to divorce because Arnold isn't divorced either, right?”

“You've been competing with Arnold since you were kids, and you've always been one step ahead, except in front of your father." Aurelia turned to look at him, her eyes filled with resentment. "Sadly, I'm not a trophy you can win. You may have claimed me as your own, but you'll never own my heart. In my eyes, Arnold is a thousand, no, a million times better than you. You'll never measure up." She spat out the harshest words, venting the bitterness in her heart.

She despised him, his betrayal, his deception, and his sudden coldness. If their marriage has turned into a grave, let them be trapped inside together. No one could get out, and no outsider could get in. Sacrificing her happiness could at least secure their child's future.

After all, he had ruined her life and her love.

A sharp and intense pain radiated from Leopold's chest, forcing him to grit his teeth and endure.

A wave of fear swept over him. He had just managed to bridge their relationship a little, but they were not only back to square one, but also at an all-time low.

He was afraid she might do something irrational that would leave him no chance to make amends. By the time everything was over, they could never go back.

Her actions always surpassed his expectations, leaving him unable to predict.
