The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 588

"God, I hope you're not a total screw-up like Mr. Chad," Aurelia muttered with a scoff.

Mr. Chad was indeed a bad penny. Not only was he a notorious playboy, but he also treated his wife like dirt. The poor Jessica must have been cursed to have ended up being with him.

Leopold draped an arm around her shoulder with a reassuring grip. "Don't worry. I didn't inherit his genes. Arnold, though, is practically a chip off the old block."

Aurelia shot him a playful glare. "Arnold just took your father’s look. The personality? Not at all. I bet your eldest brother Fredric did take after Mr. Chad in the playboy genes."

Leopold grinned slyly and said nothing, seemingly conceding to her point.

They were in the midst of their banter when a high-pitched voice trilled from behind. "Honey, I'm here!"

Leopold turned with a start, his mood souring at the sight of Megan, carried up the trail by a team of porters, like some modern-day Cleopatra.

Money talks, and with enough of it, there wasn't much that couldn't be done.

His frown deepened, and his day with Aurelia, which was supposed to be wild outdoor sex, was ruined by the bummer, Megan.

Aurelia admired her in a way. Megan's clinginess was like superglue on steroids.

She seriously doubted whether Leopold would manage to cut the ties and divorce her in two months.

The odds, as they stood, didn't look good.

Aurelia jogged ahead to catch up with William and Skyler, leaving Leopold to his brooding.

Leopold's gaze was sharp like a blade as it swept over Megan's face, then he continued up the path, determined to ignore her.

Megan's heart churned with tides of disappointment. "Hurry up. Keep up with my husband!"

She was determined to stick to Leopold like a shadow, not giving Aurelia, that wretched woman, a chance.

One of the porters commented, "Ma'am, it seems things aren't so hot between you and your husband. He's not even looking your way."
