Chapter 480

Yuna said, I'm here for you now, and my job is to assist you, not to report to Mr. Leopold unlessyou're in danger.”

Aurelia chuckled. That's good to know. Let's keep this under wraps for now. Once we have solidleads and evidence, we'll tell him.”

“Alright.” Yuna nodded, “Jimmy has been at the Twilight Club for five years. He must know

alot.”

Aurelia thought so too, which was why she decided to keep him.

He probably didn't know about Kerry's involvement with the crime syndicate, but he might be ableto provide some clues, like who Kerry often hung out with.

Once home, Aurelia created a new account on WhatsApp and added Jimmy.

Jimmy was quick to respond. “If you're ever feeling lonely, just hit me up. I'm always online andready to accompany you.”

Aurelia was impressed by his promptness.

Many women choose to marry not only for love but also to share the costs of life. After all, in this.country, many women were facing discrimination from both their families and society. They didn’thave access to quality education and decent jobs, and they needed a man to help share the costs ofraising children.

But if they achieved financial independence, they didn't need a husband. Unless they found truelove, a man who loved them wholeheartedly and faithfully. Otherwise, it was just

self-torture.

What was the point of staying with a man who didnt love you, wasn't gentle or considerate, andeven cheated on you?

The next day, Leopold brought Kane over in his car. He and William had arranged to spend

the weekend at the beach.

This was mainly Kane's idea. He thought that if his parents spent more time together, they mightreconcile.

The weather was perfect, sunny, and cloudless, a great day for a beach outing.

Once at the beach, the two boys started building sandcastles.

This was William's forte, and he could build some impressive structures.

Aurelia sat on a beach chair, sipping from a coconut and soaking up the sun.

Leopold sat next to her, his gaze trailing over her attractive figure, turning him on like he being setablaze by the sun. He was constantly consumed with desire for her,

"We should have more family activities. It could help strengthen the bond between Kane andWilliam.”

He was pleased to see the boys getting along well. Although he had three brothers, he never reallyexperienced much sibling affection. All he knew was constant competition.

Aurelia saw the longing in his eyes.

“Lucky people spend their lives reaping the benefits from their childhood, while the unfortunatespend their lives trying to recover from their miserable childhood.”

The sins of the adults often hurt the children the most.

“Kane and William are very well-behaved and sensible. They won't fight with each other. If theywere half-brothers, they wouldn't get along this well. With the mothers fighting for attention andgetting jealous, how could the children possibly get along?”

Leopold gave her a pointed look, his gaze loaded with meaning, “Are you worried that I have a childout of wedlock?”

“Yes.” She admitted candidly, “I don’t want any threats to my children. In the ancient courts, the firstprince to be named heir often had a hard time becoming king. He became the target of all the otherprinces and their mothers. You were in a similar situation, weren't you? If you have a child out ofwedlock, my Kane would be in danger too. I don't want that to happen.”

Leopold's gaze darkened, “Can't it just be about me?”

She faltered, a sad smile appearing on her face, “Are you joking, Mr. Leopold? There's no lovebetween us.”

He had never loved her, and it was unlikely he ever would. So, she would carefully hide her feelings,never revealing them to be ridiculed by him.

Leopold felt the sting of her words, his mood darkening rapidly, “Indeed. It's challenging to replace youlikeable.
