Chapter 102

Aurelia loved seafood, lobster, abalone, clams... all were her favorites.

She picked up a chunk of abalone, popped it into her mouth, “Wow, this is absolutely divine, thefood at this. restaurant never disappoints.”

Leopold reached out and gently patted her head, “From now on, only positive things are allowed inyour mind, no negativity, remember to maintain a positive subconscious environment for yourbabies.”

“Oh.” She obediently nodded, but couldn't help but grumble inwardly; her negative emotions wereall because of him.

A hint of a smile tugged at Leopold's lips.

This woman was more attractive when she was compliant.

“You're too thin, you don't even look pregnant, eat more.”

Aurelia took a bite of lobster.

That was the whole point, to slip under the radar.

After all, she was a woman. She had to pay attention to her body shape, she couldn't let herselfbecome

bloated and unattractive.

Moreover, eating too much would make the babies grow too big, which might lead to a difficultdelivery.

“This is the result of practicing prenatal yoga, a pregnant woman can't just eat anything andeverything, maintaining a balanced diet is the most important.”

Leopold's gaze swept over her chest, subtly warming.

It had definitely gained some extra weight, going up a cup from before.

There was a moment of silence at the table..

Aurelia had some soup, and suddenly, she murmured, almost in a whisper, “Mr. Leopold, have youever thought about what we would do if our little secret was discovered?”

Leopold raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly tossing back a few words, “I'll handle it, don’t worry.”Aurelia could tell he had a plan, after all, he was a man of deep scheming.

But...

“Don't you dare think about putting me under house arrest abroad again, I would rather die thango."

Leopold's gaze turned frosty, the sea breeze suddenly turning chilly.

“It will depend on whether you behave or not.”

She pouted, “I've always honored the contract, I've never stepped out of line.”

Leopold grumbled, a shadow of hostility crossing his face, “Flirting with other men while carryingmy children, is that honoring the contract?”

The mere thought of her and Arnold laughing and chatting drove his temper through the roof.She choked a bit, rolling her eyes at him, “That's just normal socializing, making friends. Besides,Arno isn’t an outsider, he’s your brother, the babies’ uncle.”

Leopold clenched his fork a little tighter. He had never experienced brotherly love growing up.“Since you know he’s part of the Stirling family, you should understand, being my wife, even inname only, means you

can't have any connection with him.”

Aurelia felt a twinge in her heart, her eyelids instinctively falling, casting a shadow on her eyelids,"He and I are just friends, whether you're in the picture or not, it won't change our relationship.”Her voice became very low, like twilight hanging in the air.

Leopold caught this subtle reaction, his heart twisting uncomfortably.

He grabbed his glass, gulping down a mouthful of wine.

He thought the wine was incredibly sour!

The dining table fell into a deathly silence.

The waves furiously crashed against the rocks, roaring in the background.

The sound seemed to invade their hearts, threatening to shatter it.

Aurelia kept her head down, taking small bites of the food on her plate, occasionally sneakingglances at

the man across.

His expression was icy, so cold it made her feel uneasy, goosebumps forming on her arms.During their time together, she had learned to read his moods..

Men like him, who kept their feelings close to their chest, the colder their expression, the worse theirmood.

She had no idea what she had said wrong, what line she had crossed that made him so upset.Perhaps for him, even her breathing can be a mistake!
