The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 918

Aurelia harbored dreams of growing old with him, of a love that would endure the test of time. But she knew it was a rocky road ahead. Leopold was fickle by nature. When his temper turned, he could be ruthless, ready to kick her to the curb without a second thought.

"Don't you think it's hilarious? We're divorced, and yet I can't let go of you. If I were gone, you'd probably mourn for a hot minute before finding someone new. No one's indispensable in this world. Some men have moved on before their dead wives' wills could be read."

Leopold rolled his eyes and flicked her forehead. "Don't lump me with those average Joes. They're not fit to hold a candle to me."

Aurelia snorted. "Ah, give me a break. Weren't you hooking up with Megan while I was lying unconscious in the ICU?"

Leopold felt like he was choked, burdened by an unjust accusation. "Do you think I'd have the mind to look at another woman then?" he retorted.

She shrugged, unconvinced. In her eyes, Leopold was the kind of man who would remain calm even if the skies fell, always plotting his next move with strategic calm.

That was his greatest strength.

What she didn't realize was that she was his Achilles' heel. He'd be powerless if she got caught by the enemies.

"Regardless of what happens to us, the other must go on. We must protect our children," she said, locking eyes with him. "Leopold, promise me you won't let anyone harm our kids, okay? No matter who it might be."

"Don't worry. No one's going to touch a hair on Kane and William's heads, and no one's going to touch you," he declared with conviction.

A light smile played on Aurelia's lips. "If you break your promise, I'll haunt you from beyond the grave."
