The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 561

Leopold strolled over and sat beside her, his arm sweeping around her casually but possessively.

"Let's change the subject, shall we?" A mischievous spark flickered in his deep eyes.

Aurelia sensed his mood shift, and her face changed. She tried to pry his arm away, desperate to escape, but his strength was immovable.

"Mr. Leopold, do we have to get personal during the day at work? You'll get me all worked up, and I’ll be uncomfortable for the rest of the day."

Leopold's lips curved into a devilish grin. "I'm giving you the day off."

Aurelia was speechless. "I've got a ton of work. I don't need a day off."

She seriously suspected he'd relegated her to the role of a casual fling.

"And what about Megan? She would lose her marbles if she knew you were still screwing with your ex."

A smirk tinged Leopold's expression, knowing well his double body would have sex with Megan now and then.

"Wouldn't you miss me if I wasn't around?"

Aurelia rolled her eyes exasperatedly. "Why would I miss another woman’s husband? What do I look like, a masochist?"

He sighed with a tinge of resignation in his voice. "Can't you just ignore that issue and focus on the sentimental side?"

Aurelia chuckled lightly. "What, Mr. Leopold, do you want me to be hopelessly infatuated with you, to love you to death, utterly ensnared? Sorry, but we're not at that level. At best, it's a bit of habit." She couldn't admit, even to herself, that she had feelings for him.

It's an age-old truth that the unattainable is always the most desirable.

A flicker of hurt passed through Leopold's eyes. "Really? You have no feelings for me at all?"

She looked at him squarely. "Of course, there's a bit of familial affection. You're the father of my child, my ex-husband. We were a family, after all." Then she countered, "And what are your feelings towards me?"
