The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 587

Megan was fuming, her eyes fixed on the figures ahead with such intensity that it looked like they might pop out of her skull.

Leopold waited for Aurelia at the foot of the mountain. Rolling her eyes, Aurelia gave him a look of exasperation. "Megan's probably blowing a gasket right now. Aren't you going to do something about it?"

"Don't even mention her. She’s a buzzkill," Leopold replied, his expression colder than a glacier. No woman, other than her, could ever expect him to bend.

Aurelia sighed internally as the well-known saying crossed her mind. “Men are like sand. The tighter you hold them, the faster they slip through your fingers.”

It was clear to her that Megan was anxious, desperate to cling to Leopold.

It was a big mistake. No woman could manipulate an imperious and aloof man like Leopold, especially since the woman was a mole from the AK Group.

William and Skyler started up the mountain path with high spirits.

"William, I'll carry you if you get tired," Skyler offered and chuckled.

He was a big kid at heart, strong and full of energy.

William raised an eyebrow and replied, "No need. I might look small, but I'm tougher than I appear."

Skyler patted his head affectionately. "I know how tough you are. Why else would I have taken you as my... apprentice?"

William's cheeky grin spread. "Well, behind every great student is a great teacher, right?"

Aurelia and Leopold trailed behind them.

"It would be nice if Kane were here, too."

The thought of Kane alone at home made Aurelia's heart twinge. Her Kane was so considerate and well-behaved.

"It’s too risky for Kane to be out in the open," Leopold said gravely. The AK Group's goons could be shadowing Skyler at any moment, and if they spotted Kane, they might target him.
