PopularNovelChapter 581 Aurelia sliced into her juicy steak, glancing up with piercing eyes. "Leopold, can you for once give it to me straight? Whose baby is she carrying?" A hint of mystery danced in his eyes. “Patience, darling. All will be revealed in due time." A sharp glint flickered through Aurelia's darkened gaze. “You're also clueless, aren't you? Or maybe you're not sure if it's yours and plan to wait for a paternity test after the baby's born?" Leopold massaged his temples helplessly, wondering how her imagination had run so wild.
"Trust me, Aurelia. | won't eat my word" But trust was a currency she was currently running low on. The intentions of a man were as elusive as finding a needle in a haystack. He was cunning, his mind an enigma. How could she easily take his word? "You've fooled me, toyed with my affections, turned your back on me without a second thought. What can | do? I'm no longer your wife. Without the law's protection, | can only suck the bad luck on my part.” True love in a man was a rarity, while heartbreakers were a dime a dozen.
The best defense for a woman was never to give her heart away. As they say, love is blind.
The priority was to chase the money, not the man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeopold felt a twinge of helplessness.
He was a faithful lover, yet she painted him as a playboy. What a tragic misunderstanding about him, which was more wronged than the purest of souls.
"I'm not as terrible as you think. You've got to have a little faith in me.
Aurelia took a sip of her juice. “I'll believe it when | see you keep your promises.” "Fine." Leopold stroked her hair with a tender look in his eyes. “It won't be long now." Meanwhile, Megan stormed the beach, searching high and low for Aurelia, or more precisely, for Leopold.
She wouldn't allow them any time together.
“That vixen Aurelia is surely scheming to seduce Leopold while I'm vulnerable with child.” she thought.
In her mind, the bond between Aurelia and Leopold was over for good.
The title of Mrs. Stirling was hers alone, and she'd take down anyone who dared challenge her.
Scouring the area, she saw no sign of Aurelia or Leopold. Could they be hiding on purpose? William and Skyler approached.
“Ma'am, still looking for my mom? What's so important that you need her?’ inquired William.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMegan shot him a look of annoyance. "Stay out of grown-up business, kiddo." William shrugged. "Mom's probably at the rock pools. She loves basking in the moonlight there." Instantly, Megan pictured Aurelia and Leopold having sex on the rocks. She was thinking, “that little temptress always picked the perfect spot.” Fuming, Megan marched toward the rock pools.
Dark clouds veiled the moon, casting shadows all around. On a massive rock, two silhouettes moved rhythmically, clearly locked in a hot encounter.
Megan, seething, charged forward, her foot slipping on a slick rock. With a shrill scream, she tumbled backward, landing with a thud.
Her bodyguard rushed to her aid. “Mrs. Stirling, are you alright?" A sharp pain gripped her abdomen, terror flooding her senses. "Ah, my stomach... Call an ambulance!" The bodyquard dialed for emergency services immediately.
The couple on the rocks, startled, quickly dressed and vanished into the night.
Megan was sure it was Aurelia and Leopold. Enraged, she bellowed, "Leopold! Help! I've fallen. My stomach is in agony... For God's sake, think of your child!" But the man was gone, swallowed by the darkness.
"Ms. Megan, you must be mistaken. That wasn't Mr. Leopold. He's having a meeting in his room’ said the bodyguard.
Megan scoffed and didn't believe that. Leopold's people would always cover for him.
