The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 633

The waiter delivered a feast to the table.

Arnold deftly served Aurelia a slice of prime rib, while Leopold offered her a succulent chunk of lobster tail.

Avery, with an air of nonchalance, chimed in, "Now that Arnold's signed the divorce papers with Lisa, when are you planning to devoice, Leopold?"

Leopold shot him a withering look, "I'll handle my affairs, and thanks for your concern," he retorted coolly.

Avery snickered with a hint of mockery, "It's because Megan's developed sleepwalking, isn't it? When Aurelia was hospitalized in the ICU, you started seeing Megan behind her back, insisting on a divorce. Now Megan's unwell, and you're ready to drop her too. Fair-weather couples we may be, in times of trouble, alone we flee. That saying couldn't be more apt for you."

His past infidelity and abandonment of Aurelia were stains that could never be washed away.

Leopold felt the sting of Avery's words, like swallowing bitterness with no chance to voice his pain.

Aurelia, not wanting Avery to provoke further tension, hurriedly smoothed things over, "Avery, let's focus on our meal and skip the unpleasant talk. You've only got a two-hour break before you're back on set."

She had crafted an entire soap opera narrative in her mind, the likes of which were common in old melodramas.
