The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)

Chapter 1106

Leopold turned his head, his voice icy, "Of course Arnold gave up. How could he possibly care about

my wife?"

A flicker of cold light passed through Arnold's eyes. If it hadn't been for his last-minute decision to

marry Lisa, would Leopold ever have had the chance to reconcile with Aurelia?

He hadn't lost to Leopold. It was his mother who had played him for a fool.

"Don't worry. I just want to be Aurelia's one and only confidant, nothing more."

Even if Leopold had Aurelia, he would never replace the place Arnold held in her heart.

Arnold and Aurelia shared a bond and common interests as soulmates, which was something Leopold

could never compete with.

Arnold emphasized the word "only."

Leopold darkened his expression slightly. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

In Leopold's perspective, the sole role that Arnold could assume regarding Aurelia was that of her

brother-in-law.

"She doesn't need a confidant. She has me. I'm enough to handle anything for her."

Arnold hummed to himself, "You should realize. Aurelia came back to you not because of you, but

because of her kids."

That hit Leopold where it hurt.

"Can she even tell you why?" Leopold retorted.

Arnold arched his eyebrow coldly, "She tells me everything and we have no secrets. Isn't that what

confidants are for?"

A flush of irritation crept into Leopold's furrowed brows.

Fredric sensed the tension in the air and quickly stepped in to mediate.

"There's a difference between a friend and a husband. A friend can't become a husband, and a

husband rarely becomes a friend. Even though a marriage is the closest of relationships, it's not

without its secrets. Leopold, there are things you wouldn't tell Aurelia, right? And likewise, Aurelia

wouldn't share everything with you. If she needs to talk, she'll turn to a good friend or sister, whether

that's Arnold or Jelena."

A sensitive nerve twitched in Leopold's heart. So did Aurelia come back to him for the sake of Kane just

as Arnold said?

Although Leopold knew it was true, the thought of her sharing intimate details with Arnold ignited a

jealous rage within him. His mouth was as sour as if he'd bitten into a lemon, spreading the bitterness

through him.

Just then, Aurelia and Jelena returned.

Aurelia was about to sit down when Leopold, with a swift move, hooked her slender waist and pulled

her into his embrace.

She blushed with embarrassment. Such public displays of affection were inappropriate. Couldn't he

show some restraint?

"The kids are here. It wouldn't be right for them to see this…"

Before she could finish, Leopold pressed his lips hard against hers. Her cheeks turned crimson as red

as ripe Washington apples.

Arnold tensed his shoulders, clenching his fists tightly, jealousy burning within him.

He knew Leopold was challenging him, declaring his territory.

Aurelia instinctively tried to push him away, but he was too strong.

Nearby, the children caught a glimpse of the scene.

Skyler stuck out his tongue, "Leopold and Angel are playing kissy-kissy."

Mira quickly covered her eyes, "Mommy says we shouldn't watch grown-ups kissing, or we'll get sores

on our eyes."

Nina giggled, "Are Uncle Leopold and Aunt Aurelia going to make a baby?"

Kane chuckled, "Mommy does want a little sister, after all."

But it was William whose gaze fell on his father. With Uncle Leopold kissing Mommy, his dad must be

sad.
