The CEO’S Unplanned Heir ( Aurelia Hawthorne ) - Season 3 Episode 82

Leopold shot her a meaningful glance, “And what about your opinion?”

She murmured, “The initial promotions for ‘Destiny‘ are already in place. I am very confident and cart

split half of the advertising slots to ‘Eternal Love‘, but it has to be an even split. Mr. Louis can’t just take

all the prime spots.”

Leopold nodded slightly, seeming reasonable.

She blinked, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips, “I plan to start working from home tomorrow, and

return to the office in two weeks.”

Leopold rubbed his forehead, “You’re such a dedicated employee, but you’re nothing like a traditional housewife!”

Aurelia scoffed inwardly. Did maintaining a household and raising children put money in the bank? True

respect for a woman could only be earned through her own efforts and achievements!

“Mr. Leopold, as I’ve said before, I’m career–focused.”

She loved her work, and she could forget all her troubles while working.

Although a month had passed, when midnight dreams returned, she would still think of the child she

had lost prematurely, her heart aching in waves.

The thought of him once in her belly, playing with his brother, listening to stories together, kicking her

belly with his tiny feet, yet not being able to come into this world safely with his brother, tore her apart.

She couldn’t forgive herself.

This pain might follow her for the rest of her life, no amount of painkillers could suppress it. Only

throwing herself into work could distract her thoughts, preventing her from thinking of the child.

Her eyes welled up.

Leopold perceptively noticed and pulled her into his arms, “You can work from home, but you’re not

returning to the office until your maternity leave is over.”

She swallowed, suppressing her sorrow, “Why? I don’t need to breastfeed the child. When I’m not

around, mum and Laura can take care of the baby. I can totally go to work.”

Leopold’s expression became stern, “The delivery man that caused the accident has disappeared, we

haven’t found him yet.”

She looked at him in surprise, “What do you mean? Wasn’t it an accident?”

Was someone trying to harm the babies?

Leopold’s eyes narrowed, a chilling light shooting out, extremely sharp. “Every accident might hide a

conspiracy.”

A chill ran down Aurelia’s spine, “But no one knows our secret, everyone thinks the baby is Arno’s.”

Leopold’s eyes grew darker, as if stained by twilight, “What if the previous artificial insemination wasn’t

an

accident?”

Aurelia shivered violently, “You mean the doctor deliberately made a mistake?”

“The doctor who performed your surgery was Georgina, she resigned the day after the surgery and has

never shown up since.” Leopold said in a deep voice.

A chill crept up Aurelia’s spine, “If it was premeditated, the person behind the scenes definitely knows

children’s identity. He probably thought the children were aborted like Elowen did, but when my

pregnancy was exposed, he knew the children were still alive. So, he deliberately arranged for

someone to hit me. hoping I would miscarry!”

This thought aligned with Leopold’s.

“Stay home until we clear things up” he said.

Aurelia hung her head, muttered, “I’m useless after giving birth. The most important thing is to protect

the child.

Leopold’s gaze slid from her beautiful face to her heart, apart from giving birth, she was of use in other

ways. “You’re recovering well.”

She felt the heat in his gaze and her heart skipped a beat. She tried to stand up instinctively but his

firm grip didn’t loosen.

1. I’ll go check on the baby.” She tried to pry his hand away, but he tightened his grip.

“Shouldn’t you consider fulfilling your duties as a wife?”

She blanched, ‘I’m just temporary, what duties do I have to fulfill?”
