The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 692

"If you can't do it, don't sweet-talk me with promises you can't keep."

Aurelia wasn't one to get swept off her feet by honeyed words.

Leopold leaned in close, his whisper tickling her ear, "Except for you, I've never had anyone else. Not before, not now, not ever."

A jolt ran through Aurelia's heart like a boulder had been hurled into a still pond, rippling waves across its surface.

“How could he possibly have never had sex with Megan? Wasn't it Megan who seduced him into a tryst while I was fighting for my life in the ICU? And where did the baby in Megan's belly come from, if not from him?” Aurelia was confused, thinking like this.

"Are you lying to me because you think I can't check the truth?" Aurelia spat out.

"I'll prove it to you now if you want," he said as he began to unbutton his shirt, revealing a chiseled chest.

Aurelia caught her breath. Was he trying to distract her with his looks again?

"You should go before Megan comes looking for you again."

"She won't be coming," he said with a mischievous grin, having already sent someone to lead her away.

She shot him an annoyed glance, "We're supposed to have dinner soon."

"There's time," he murmured, capturing her lips in a swift kiss, "Let's have a quick bite first."

His warm breath enveloped her, drawing her deeper into his tender embrace, and they both drifted in the ebb and flow of their connection.

In another room.

William was playing checkers with Skyler when Tanya arrived. Seeing her, William excused himself to the balcony for some alone time.

Tanya called Skyler into the room.

Without thinking, Skyler pulled a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.
