Chapter 434

Aurelia gently stroked his head, a poignant sorrow overwhelming her.

Back then, when Kane was just a small boy, she had been forced to separate from him, and now,it seemed, history was about to repeat itself.

Unable to stay by his side, to protect him personally, she was constantly worried about his safety.“Kane, this isn’t home for mommy anymore, so I can't stay here. This time, mommy came to warnyou about Megan. She's a very dangerous woman. You must stay far away from her, don't touchanything she gives you, in case she tries to poison you.”

Kane nodded, “I understand, Mom.”

He wouldn't accept anything from Megan. By the way, she couldn't even set foot in the StirlingMansion.

“You must remember it, don't ever forget.” Aurelia repeatedly warned, her heart full of worries.Kane lifted his little hand, patting her shoulder like a grown-up, “Don’t worry, Mom, I won't forget,I'll protect myself.”

He had an eidetic memory, the word “forget” simply did not exist in his life.

Aurelia hugged her son tightly, kissing his head. The more sensible he was, the more heartbrokenshe felt. Her heart was tightly bound, unable to beat regularly.

Kane pulled out a necklace from his pocket.

“Mom, this is the necklace you made, right? Dad gave it to me the day before yesterday. He saidyou made it. I really like it, the little dolphin is so cute, and I'll always wear it.”

Aurelia was stunned, her eyes widened in surprise.

Wasn't this the necklace that was auctioned at the party? How did it end up around her son's neck?Could it be... In her shock, Leopold returned.

She sent her son back to his room, because she needed to talk to Leopold.

“The mysterious person who bought my necklace at the Muse Club auction, was that yourarrangement?”

Leopold poured himself a glass of water, and sat down on the couch, “It's your design. How could Ilet others take it away?”

"What do you mean?” Aurelia stared at him, her gaze sharp as an arrow, trying to peer

through his icy eyes, into his heart, to understand his deep and inscrutable thoughts.

Leopold maintained his usual cold demeanor, his face seemed to be wearing a mask, hiding all hisemotions behind it.

“Whatever you think it means, that’s what it means.”

Aurelia took a step forward, grabbing his shirt collar, "Are you regretting it? Regretting divorcingme and marrying Megan?”

Leopold didn’t answer, she was too close, her captivating body almost pressing against his.

Her alluring scent enveloped him, causing his inner balance to be lost, his rational mind graduallybeing consumed, his hormones raging.

He desired so much to kiss her soft lips, touch her enchanting body, to possess her completely. Buthe couldn't, he could only suppress his impulses, causing his entire body to ache.

Aurelia noticed his unusual reaction.

“Leopold, if you regret it, divorce her. I'm willing to remarry you.”

For Kane, Aurelia found herself capable of bearing the weight of his betrayal, of living in theaftermath of his abandonment, as long as it kept Kane out of harm's way. It didn't matter ifhappiness was no longer within her grasp, or if she had to exist in a marriage devoid of love.Leopold swallowed hard, his throat dry and painful. In fact, he hadn't married Megan at all. With hisinfluence, arranging a fake marriage was a piece of cake, but he couldn't tell Aurelia.

He pulled her hand away, stood up, and went to the table to pour a glass of water, trying to remaincalm.

“You're overthinking.” He forced his voice to sound even more indifferent than he had intended.Hearing his words, her heart chilled to the core, filled with despair.
