Chapter 279

Leopold's face was slightly overcast.

She was probably hoping for a divorce to be with Arnold, wasn't she?

When he entered the room, Jolin, quite wisely, left them alone.

Aurelia lay back on the bed and sighed, glancing at him, “When are we going to get the paperworkdone?”

A flash of anger appeared on his face. Of course, she was thinking about that.

He walked over to the kitchen counter, got himself a glass of water, and took a large gulp to cooldown.

“In the Stirling family, regardless of the type of marriage, once it's registered, it must follow thefamily rules. I am the current master of the Stirling family, and you are the matriarch. For a divorcebetween the master and the matriarch, we must hold a family meeting, with two-thirds of the familymembers approving, and there must be a serious fault on the part of the matriarch!”

His tone seemed casual, but every word was squeezed out through clenched teeth

Aurelia was stunned, her long, thick eyelashes slowly drooping.

She had made a mistake, not protecting their child, an unforgivable one!

“Can we start the paperwork before the family meeting? Is that possible?”

His gaze hardened, icy and deep, “If the master violates the family rule, the punishment will besevere. You want me to be punished?”

Aurelia took a sharp breath. No wonder Mr. Chad had struggled to get a divorce. These procedureswere too complicated.

“When are you planning to hold the family meeting?”

His deep eyes glinted, inscrutable.

"On the day of the baby’s christening.”

"Oh," she replied softly.

He was definitely more eager to divorce than she was, he just didn't show it.

After all, as the master of the family, he had to follow the rules.

Seeing her finally show a hint of relief, as if she were about to be released, the deep freeze inLeopold's eyes deepened. He drained the glass, turned, and walked out, in case he lost control andsnapped at her.

As he opened the door, he ran into Jolin. She hadn't left, but was listening at the door.

Hearing her daughter mention divorce again, she was close to passing out.

Seeing Leopold come out, she pulled him aside, “Leopold, Aurelia is still grieving. She's just talkingout of anger. Please don't take it to heart and be patient with her. And please, don’t impulsivelydivorce.”

“Then you should talk to her.” Leopold said in a low voice.

Jolin patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry, as long as you don't agree, I won't let Aurelia make thedecision on

her own.”

Leopold went to the yard to see the baby.

Jolin prepared some nutritious sustenance, and brought it into the room.

“Aurelia, it's just us now, so I'll be straightforward with you. You are not allowed to divorce. If youdare to divorce, I'll never contact you again!”

Aurelia was taken aback. She had to admire Leopold's cunning. He had played the perfect son-in—law in front of her mother, maintaining his reputation. When the divorce happened, she would bethe one to blame!

“Mom, I didn’t marry him out of love.”

“Then who do you love, Arnold?” Jolin asked directly. She was most worried about Aurelia beingindecisive between the two brothers.

Aurelia wanted to tell her about the medical accident and the arranged marriage, but she knewLeopold didn’t want her to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have interrupted her at the hospital.

He had a bad temper, and she couldnt provoke him. She had to divorce peacefully.

“Mom, it has nothing to do with Arnold.”

“That's good to hear. Although I really like Arnold, and he is a great guy, you are now married to hisbrother. You can't be involved with both!”

Jolin was clear, direct, and decisive.

Aurelia lowered her eyes, and her long, thick eyelashes cast a melancholic shadow.

Even if she didn't bring it up, Leopold would still want a divorce. After all, he was still in love with hissweetheart.
