The CEO’S Unplanned Heir ( Aurelia Hawthorne ) - Season 3 Episode 88

“Mind your own business first. Aurelia tossed back, leaving with her parents.

As her father just arrived, Aurelia asked her mother to stay at the Sunbeam Retreat for the night and

come back to pick her up the next day.

When she returned to their villa, Leopold was in the midst of feeding their baby. The scene was so surreal that Aurelia could hardly believe her eyes. The once aloof, high–and–mighty boss had turned

into a doting dad.

Upon seeing her return, he asked casually, “Did you sort out everything with Ritchie?”

She sighed, “As long as he hasn’t got money from us, he will cause trouble,

Once the baby was done feeding, she took him from Leopold’s arms and burped him gently, resting

him on her shoulder.

Leopold’s expression darkened slightly, “Ritchie can indeed stir up trouble. Those rumors during the

anniversary celebrations were all spread by him.”

Aurelia was taken aback, but not surprised, “It must have been Emma who asked him to do it. They’ve

known each other online for quite a long time. I knew there was a mole. Was the video also taken by

Emma?”

“She’s not that capable yet,” Leopold replied in a deep voice.

Aurelia gave him a sidelong glance, her heart churning with a sudden wave of shock.

He must have already investigated this issue thoroughly, but chose not to disclose it, intentionally

hiding the truth.

“You knew Elowen was innocent, didn’t you?”

“Innocent how?” he retorted.

Aurelia fell silent. He was determined to make Elowen take the fall, giving him a reason to call off their

engagement. Such a sly fox!

“Who was the one who plotted against Elowen?” she asked quietly.

He leaned back on the couch, nonchalantly replying, “When it’s time for you to know, you will.”

Typical! Aurelia thought to herself, he’s clearly trying to protect someone. When dealing with people he

dislikes, he can be as ruthless as a hawk. But for those he cherishes, even if they committed a felony,

he’d still treat them gently.

Such a hypocrite!

“Never mind, rest assured. As long as we agree on the terms, I’ll cooperate with the divorce and won’t

give you any trouble.”

At her words, Leopold’s brows furrowed slightly, a flash of fire in his eyes. Suddenly, their son Kane

whimpered, then burst into tears, as if he was upset by his mother’s words.

Leopold’s face became icy cold, “If you dare mention the word ‘divorce‘ in front of our son again, you’re

grounded for a month!”

Aurelia choked on her words, “He can’t understand anything. He probably just needs a diaper change.”

She checked his diaper, which was dry. This was awkward.

Leopold shot her a glare, took their son and went upstairs, cooing softly to him. It seemed both father

and son were angry with her.

She felt suddenly isolated, was her son just daddy’s boy, with no regard for his mom?

Just as she got up to follow them upstairs, Leopold’s phone, left on the coffee table, buzzed.

She glanced at it curiously; it was a message from Evelyn.

[Leo, this is the engagement dress I designed myself, isn’t it beautiful? My mom says that February 8th

is a lucky day, should we set our engagement ceremony then?]

Aurelia smirked. Evelyn seemed to be in a rush, even nudging him to get married.

She was waiting for him to beg her for a divorce. When that time came, she would maintain her image

as a dutiful wife and mother, so as not to let their son misunderstand!

Time flew and it was the day for her postnatal check–up.

Dr. Fallon did the check–up for Aurelia. Her recovery was going well and she could return to her normal

activities.

Regarding the loss of their baby, Aurelia still had some questions, wanting to clarify, she asked, “Is the midwife, Karol, who delivered my babies on duty today?”

Dr. Fallon’s expression changed slightly, “Karol, she passed away a while ago, quite suddenly.”

A bomb seemed to explode in Aurelia’s head, “How did she die?” she asked anxiously.

Dr. Fallon responded, “Karol was good at her job, but she had a small vice, she loved betting on

football. I heard from colleagues that she was watching a game in a bar that night. She had bet on

Saudi Arabia, an underdog, to win, even put quite a lot of money on it. Unexpectedly, the underdog

won that night and she was so excited that she had a heart attack.”
