The CEO’S Unplanned Heir ( Aurelia Hawthorne ) - Season 2 Episode 73

“Mom, I assure you, I’m still a virgin. It’s just that uterine fibroid has grown a bit, making my belly appear like I’m pregnant. If you don’t believe me, I can go with you to the hospital for a check–up right now.”

Jolin looked at her body, “Once you’ve finished your medication, I’ll go with you to the hospital for a follow–up. If it’s still growing, we’ll get it removed with surgery..”

“Okay.” She nodded, feeling like she’d just survived a disaster.

Jolin picked up her knife and continued to cut the steak. “Young people these days are too open, moving in together and getting pregnant before marriage. If they break up later, it’s only the women who get hurt; the men suffer no losses.”

Aurelia put the washed lettuce in a colander, “If I get married and then divorce after having a child, would you be angry?”

Jolin shot her a sidelong glance, “That would mean you’re blind, choosing a scumbag.”

She shrugged, “I was just kidding.”

After all, her boss might be cold and ruthless, but there was a difference between him and a scumbag.

At the Stirling mansion, Leopold sneezed, as if he had heard someone cursing him.

Jessica was looking at an ultrasound disc with a big smile on her face.

Her precious grandchildren, would be born in few months.

Thankfully, Aurelia was a clever and beautiful girl, not dragging down her son’s excellent genes. And she was carrying twins, turning adversity into a blessing.

Otherwise, if her grandchildren weren’t turned out good–looking, she would be quite upset.

“I’ve thought about it. After the children are born, we should keep it a secret and announce it when they are

a bit older. As for Aurelia, after the divorce, we should make appropriate arrangements to avoid any mess.”

“I’ll handle it properly; you don’t need to worry,” Leopold said in a deep voice.

Jessica took a sip of her water, “How do you plan to deal with the Elowen matter?”

Leopold leaned back in his chair, “It depends on how the Alcott family handles it.”

Jessica let out a soft sigh, “It’s been three years, and you still haven’t let go of Megan Alcott?”

Leopold remained silent, his deep eyes shimmering in the sunlight, appearing especially enigmatic and impenetrable, like a thousand–year–old well with no visible bottom.

Jessica patted his hand, “I liked Megan too. Her fate has been full of hardships and your relationship with her was fleeting. You should try to let go of her and embrace someone new.”

“Elowen could not be the one I want.” his voice turned colder.

Jessica’s mouth moved as if she wanted to say something, but chose to hold it back.

Just then, the butler knocked on the door.

Elara had arrived.

After putting the ultrasound images and disc in the safe, Jessica and her son went downstairs.

Naturally, Elara was here for her daughter’s sake.

“Leopold, Elowen says you’ve been ignoring her, and she’s been crying at home every day.”

Leopold helped Jessica to the couch, “Is she willing to apologize to the Alcott family?”

Elara scoffed, “The matter hasn’t been fully investigated yet. Why should she apologize? Let’s wait until we caught the person who took the video. I’ve already hired a private investigator, and I believe we’ll have

results soon.”

A servant brought coffee and pastries to the room.

Leopold picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip of it, “Then, I’ll wait for good news.”

Elara’s expression darkened, “With all these rumors circulating about you and Evelyn Alcott in the industry, don’t you think you should keep your distance from her?”

Leopold’s lips curved into a sinister smirk, “Aunt Elara, I remember grandfather always said that women should be forgiving and broad–minded. I hope you’ll teach Elowen according to his standards. After all, it’s impossible for her to be the only woman in my life.”

A muscle in Elara’s face twitched. He used to be focused on his career and avoided romantic entanglements. How did his attitude change so completely when Evelyn returned?

“You’re back to your old ways?”

Leopold showed a hint of mockery, “Aunt, relationships between men and women aren’t just about S**; the most crucial part is a spiritual connection. Besides being jealous all the time, what else can Elowen do?”
