Chapter 535 These past few days, without Leopold, Aurelia found herself working and coming home as usual. But for some reason, she felt a certain emptiness, a dullness that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
Sometimes, loneliness wasn't just about being alone. It was about not having that special someone by her side.
She needed more than just familial love and friendship. She needed romantic love. Leopold in her heart couldn't be filled by anyone else.
One Saturday morning, Leopold arrived with Kane in tow.
He had returned home the previous night. Today, they had planned a valley camping trip, an idea proposed by the kids.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAvery had just wrapped up shooting for his new film and happened to be at home. Aurelia decided to invite him and Leah.
Avery had been swamped with work since the Christmas holidays and hadn't taken a break, so he gladly accepted the invitation.
Two RVs hit the road and they arrived at the pleasant butterfly valley.
Away from the city's lights and noise pollution, the air here was fresh, the mountains beautiful and the water pure.
William brought Chirpy along. Upon reaching the valley, the parrot felt a sense of familiarity and began singing and spreading its wings joyfully.
William chuckled. Chirpy must have picked up the lyrics from him watching the cartoon - Think I'm just a sheep, but it's just a deep disguise, wit and charm...
"Chirpy, you're a parrot, not a sheep." William said.
Chirpy said, “I'm a sheep, a happy sheep, a pretty sheep..." Kane reached out a small hand to pat its fluffy little head.
It would be great if Chirpy could play with them but there were eagles in the valley. It could be dangerous to let it out of the cage.
Leah stepped out of the RV, stretching her arms and inhaling the fresh air. The air was a mix of earth, grass, and a hint of floral scent. It was refreshing.
Avery patted her head, knowing that he had mainly brought her out to relax. She had been constantly on set with him, filming movies, shooting commercials, recording variety shows, and rarely had time off.
Butterfly Valley was, of course, a paradise for butterflies. Gorgeous butterflies could be seen fluttering among the flowers. By nightfall, there would be fireflies.

“Wait for us, Leah!" Leopold and Aurelia hadn't yet exited the RV, or more accurately, Leopold had forcibly kept Aurelia in the vehicle.
He missed her, and if it weren't for his late arrival the previous day, he would have gone to see her at Blossom Villa.
"We're on vacation, so can we not have sex?" "No. He flashed a mischievous smile, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so shouldn't you take good care of me?" Aurelia playfully glared at him, “We're not newlyweds, and we're divorced.” She was starting to feel like she was sneaking around, being secretive and cautious.
He pinned her onto the soft couch, "Don't spoil the mood" Aurelia playfully punched his shoulder, "I don't want Avery to discover our lingering feelings." Leopold frowned, “Are you worried about him finding out, or is it Arnold you're concerned about?" Aurelia was speechless, "What does Arnold have to do with this?" "Hopefully nothing." Leopold knew that the man she liked was Arnold and if he hadn't been married, she would have returned to Goldstone with him long ago.
Lisa was about to give birth, and Amold had already hired a team of elite lawyers. As soon as the child was born, he would file for divorce.
After regaining his single status, he would surely launch a determined pursuit to win her back.
Aurelia glared at him, "What's between us has nothing to do with anyone else, so don't bring others into this." “Anyway, you're my woman and no one can take you away.” He leaned in and fiercely kissed her.
By the time Aurelia came out of the RV, her legs were a bit weak.
Fortunately, he had shown some restraint and only had sex once, to release some of his pent-up longing.
