She didn't mind his words, and it was better than wearing her heart on her sleeve, only to be left battered and bruised.
Genuine men were a rarity in this world. Especially him, so fickle and unreliable.
"I don't care, and I've grown indifferent towards love."
Her words were light, like a soft breeze, ruffling Leopold Stirling's brow.
"Heartless."
His temper flared, irritation creeping in. He snatched the coconut she held, taking a hearty sip.
She rolled her eyes at him.
"Mr. Leopold, you're a married man. Don't discuss love with your ex-wife before the divorce, because it's too damn ironic."
Leopold was like a mute eating sour grapes, his grievances unable to be voiced, causing him deep anguish.
At that moment, William's voice echoed from a distance, "Mommy, come over here, and look at the sandcastle I made."
"Alright, sweetheart." Aurelia got up from her seat and walked towards William.
Her phone lay on the table, vibrating suddenly with a WhatsApp notification.
Leopold glanced at it subconsciously, finding it was a message from someone named Jimmy.
[Madam, I just finished working out. Do my muscles look more defined?]
Following this, he sent a picture flaunting his abs.
Leopold was taken aback. He picked up her phone, opened WhatsApp, and scrolled through the chat.
[Madam, if you ever feel lonely, you can call me anytime. I'm always online for you.]
[That's sweet. I'm going to bed now, sing me a lullaby.]
[What song do you want to hear? I can sing any.]
[As you wish.]
Leopold was stunned. He couldn't believe that this was something Aurelia would do.
A spark of fury flickered in his eyes. His finger slid across the screen, blocking Jimmy instantly.
