The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 350

Chapter 350

William's reliance on Arnold was emotional, not blood-related. Even if he knew the truth, he wouldstill choose Arnold,

“Sweetie, Uncle Leopold Isn't like other stepdads, and he’s your real uncle. You two are blood—related, so he'll always be good to you.”

“But what if my stepmom doesn't like me? What if she has a baby and drives me away?”

The more William thought about it, the sadder he became, tears streaming down his face.

Kane walked over, reaching out to clean his tears and saying, “William, don't cry. If she bullies you,I'll help drive her away.”

“Really?”

“Yep.” Kane patted his chest, like an adult, “I'm your big brother, and I'll protect you.”

William extended his finger and said, “Pinky swear?”

Kane hooked his finger, “Pinky swear!”

“Pinky promises are forever!”

Aurelia and Leopold exchanged a glance. As a kid, William needed other kids to cheer him up. Kanewas very sensible. With him around, they believed William would slowly adapt to the changes.After dinner, they went to the Grand Theater.

The children’s play was spectacular, and both William and Kane were thrilled

Later, Leopold dropped off Aurelia and William at the Royal Emerald Resort

Condominiums.

As soon as they got out of the car, they ran into Arnold.

“Daddy!” William ran over and jumped into his arms.

Arnold picked him up, kissing his small face, “Did you have fun tonight?”

William hugged his neck, rubbing his masked face against Arnold's, “It was okay, but I still prefer itwhen you take me to see children’s plays.”

Arnold was pleased to hear this because in his mind, William was his child, not Leopold's. Aureliawas also his, and he was determined to win her back, just like three years ago.

“Do you want to sleep with me tonight?”

“Yes!” William nodded eagerly.

Chapter 350

Aurelia stroked his head, perhaps William was destined to be unlucky, hence he was kidnapped atbirth. He was saved by Arnold, so it was destined that he would be closer to Arnold.

Leopold wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his arms, clearly claiming hislove.

Aurella flinched, instinctively wanting to break his hold, but he didn't loosen his grip and he held hertighter.

“I'll accompany you upstairs.” He whispered into her ear as if whispering sweet things.

Aurelia knew he was doing it on purpose, making her uncomfortable, her face paled slightly.

"Arno, I'll leave first. Please take care of William.” After saying that, she hurriedly led Leopold inside.Arnold's heart was shattered. But he could tell Aurelia hadn't responded to Leopold, so she hadn'tfully accepted Leopold. She still had room for him in her heart.

William, sensitive as ever, noticed his discomfort. He patted Arnold's shoulder like an adult, “Daddy,don't be sad. Mommy will come back. After the stepmom leaves, we'll bring mommy back, and goback to Goldstone together.”

“Okay.” Arnold hugged him tighter, proud of William who always stood by his side because heraised and loved him from a young age.

When Aurelia entered the apartment and saw Kane was in the restroom, she said to Leopold, “Eventhough Arno and I are separated, he’s still my best friend, my family. I don't want to do anything tohurt him.”

Her words hit Leopold like a bullet, “Being with me is hurting him?”

Her expression slowly cooled, “We're in the cooling-off period, so I haven't agreed to reconcile withyou."

Leopold felt a painful twist in his heart, “Are you still hoping Arnold will divorce and reunite. withyou?"

“I'm not.” She replied without hesitation, “The moment he chose to marry Lisa, we were over. But hesaved my life, and he cared for me tirelessly. When I was paralyzed, he encouraged me. And you,apart from throwing a divorce agreement at me, never gave me a single moment of warmth. So, atno time will I ever hurt him because of you.”
