The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 164

When they arrived at the private dining room, Arnold was already there. He stood up to offer a polite greeting, "My lady, how was your day?"

"Mom, this is my good friend, Arno." Aurelia introduced.

Jolin carefully examined him and smiled warmly.

This man was handsome and charismatic, with an extraordinary presence. Her daughter certainly had good taste!

"Hi, Arno. Aurelia often mentions you on the phone. Thank you for looking after her and Avery."

Aurelia felt a bead of flustered. When had she ever mentioned Arnold on the phone? Not a word, seriously!

What she didn't know was that Avery had talked quite a bit about Arnold that he nearly asked Jolin prepare the wedding for Aurelia. .

Arnold smiled and glanced at her, his gaze filled with a hint of tenderness "It's my pleasure. Aurelia's matters are my matters.."

Jolin's eyes twinkled with delight. It was crystal clear that Arnold had feelings for her daughter!

Avery had said there was a still a paper-thin of separation between Arnold and her daughter, maybe her daughter was just a bit slow to catch on.

"Aurelia is still young, and being on her own in a foreign place is not easy. But with you by her side, I can rest assured."

Aurelia rubbed her forehead. It was obvious that, her mother had misunderstood her relationship with Arnold.

She quickly changed the subject, "Mom, Avery has to go out of town for a film shoot tomorrow. I'm taking a day off. How about I take you for a day trip to Elysium?"

"That sounds great," Jolin nodded.

Avery took a sharp breath, "Aurelia, I don't need to go to the film set tomorrow. I don't have any scenes. I'm going to shoot your advertisement with Arno."

How could Aurelia forget something so important?

Aurelia was taken aback; she had indeed forgotten.

Goodness, it seemed like she had experienced a lapse in memory since her pregnancy.

"I'm sorry. I must have not slept well last night in your apartment. My mind's a bit foggy."

She hadn't slept well as she had a nightmares. She had dreamt of a heated argument with Leopold, which left her crying when she woke up.

Arnold got her a glass of yogurt, "Try to get some rest early tonight." His voice was tender .

"Okay," she nodded with a smile.

Jolin watched the two of them with a delighted smile.

With Arnold being so attentive to her daughter, there was no need to help him get her daughter anymore.

"How about I go watch Avery shoot the advertisement tomorrow?"

But there was an inexplicable discomfort nagging at his heart, as if a nerve had been twisted.

He picked up the cup from the coffee table and took a sip of his coffee, and absentmindedly opening Aurelia's Facebook page.

She had just posted a photo with a caption: Mom's in Elysium! Treating her to a feast!

In the photo, there were Avery, Jolin, and Arnold, sitting next to her, appearing just like a family.

It was as if a needle had pierced his eyes, and even his corneas ached.

He clenched the mug so tightly that it shattered with a resounding crash.

Coffee sprayed in every direction.

In his fury, he hurled the broken shards against the wall, where they hit the wall and shattered into countless pieces.

In her world, he felt like an outsider, and yet, Arnold had the audacity to take the center stage?

Her brother came, and Arnold was the first to know.

Her mother came, and Arnold was the first one to greet her!

But him? He was always the last to find out!
