The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 275

Chapter 275

Leopold's heart jerked as if it had been pierced by her words.

“So you can’t wait to get a divorce and be with Arnold, can you?”

She sank into the couch, her body heavy and tired from standing. “Think what you want!”

She didn’t want to explain, there was no need. They weren't a real couple, they never planned onbeing together.

With him, she had never felt a hint of affection, a touch of warmth, even a gentle word was toomuch to ask for.

She should be grateful if he didn't get angry, didn't mock her, and didn't disdain her.

The husband meant the man who could hold the sky for his wife, but the sky he held up, it didn'tbelong to her!

Leopold's lips tightened, he clenched his teeth, his heart spewing fire!

He seriously doubted this woman existed just to infuriate him.

“I've told you, if you dare to cross the line, you'll end up with nothing. I mean what I say!"

She understood what he meant, he was talking about that compensation after she gave birth to hischildren. In his heart, was she still a gold digger?

She bit her lip, a hazy mist of tears gradually surfacing in her eyes.

After a long time, she whispered a few words, “I don’t want your money anymore.”

He was slightly taken aback, “What are you saying?”

“I said, I don't want your money, I just want freedom.” She raised her voice slightly, a tear hangingon her

lashes.

He was shocked, his face turned pale due to the excessive surprise and anger.

“Is it for Arnold?”

She lifted her gaze, straightened her spine, staring at him unblinkingly, “No, it's for me. If I don'ttake your money, I can leave you with dignity.”

Those words hit him like a bullet, a strange dull pain shot through his heart, making him draw asharp breath through his clenched teeth. His handsome features twisted.

“I know what you're up to, but have you forgotten my warning? Once you're my wife, even in nameonly, don't expect to marry into the Stirling family again. No woman has ever married into theStirling family twice! Who do you think Arnold will choose between you and the Stirling family?”The blood drained from Aurelia’s face at his threatening words, leaving her as pale as marble.

She lowered her head again, clutching her skirt, a tear slid down and splattered on the back of herhand.

“Do what you want. Maybe I owed you in my past life, so in this life, I have to be ruined by you.What else can I do but accept my fate?” Her voice was so faint, so low, filled with sadness,helplessness, and despair.

Seeing her like this, Leopold felt like his anger fist was hitting a bag of cotton.

His fist clenched again, the water bottle in his hand crumpled grotesquely.

He looked down at her, staring hard at her, his thin lips moved as if to say something, butswallowed it back. What he couldn't swallow back was the hesitation on his face.

The living room fell into a deathly silence, as if the air itself had frozen. He just kept looking ather, silent for a long time.

Then, he turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind him with a resounding “bang”.

Her heart trembled at the sound, the tears she had been holding back rushed forth like a torrent.If she could do it all over again, she would never go to the hospital for that check-up. Then shewouldn't have gotten pregnant, wouldn't have become entangled with him. He would always bethat aloof boss she only got to see once a year! And she was just an insignificant employee, soinsignificant that he would never know she existed.
