Aurelia had always thought that he was going to be a lone wolf, never settling down.
Perhaps even the wind gets tired sometimes, hoping to find a cloud where it can rest and find peace.
However, the chances of finding a soulmate are even slimmer than winning the lottery. The vast majority of men who cheat and women who tempt them are not driven by true love, but by greed and lust.
She believed that Arno's mother was after not just love, but also a prince's position and the Stirling Group empire. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so desperate to climb up the ladder.
Snapping out of her thoughts, she picked up her glass of juice and smiled, "I wish you the best in finding your soulmate. May all lovers unite!"
"Same to you." Arnold clinked his glass with hers, his eyes filled with a soft, foggy affection that was too intense to dissipate.
Halfway through their meal, he checked his WhatsApp.
The chat group was buzzing again today. The rumors about Leopold and Evelyn were continuously brewing, causing quite a stir. A lot of ambiguous videos of the two were released from the Rose Coast yacht party.
"Leopold and Evelyn went to the yacht party. It looks like Elowen will be crying a river again tonight."
Aurelia's hand, holding her fork, suddenly tightened, then slowly relaxed, and she put the fork down.
"Can I see?"
Arnold handed his phone to her.
In the video, Leopold was leaning on the alligator skin sofa on the deck, dressed in casual beachwear, radiating an indescribable lazy charm. His handsome features, highlighted by the glow of the sun, were so captivating that one could hardly take their eyes off him.
Evelyn, in a very sexy swimsuit, was flaunting her attractive body.
She was sitting next to Leopold, constantly leaning against him, being overly touchy-feely.
Aurelia felt she was short of using super glue to attach herself to Leopold.
"She's not you, and she could never be you." Arnold said.
She sighed lightly, "When I was in school, teachers always said that where there's a will, there's a way, as long as you persevere, you will succeed. But it wasn't until I entered society that I realized that many things can't be achieved by sheer persistence. Sometimes, knowing when to give up is a good thing."
Arnold's gaze fell on the juice in his glass, a trace of indescribable expression quietly passed over his handsome face.
"Perhaps." he said in a low voice, his tone as soft as a whisper.
Just then, Aurelia's phone rang, Leopold had sent a WhatsApp message, "Are you at the Sunbeam Retreat? I'm sending Yuna to pick you up."
She was taken aback, thinking she must have read it wrong. Did the yacht party end so soon?
Was the big boss rushing over to do prenatal education for his children? What a master of time management, balancing both love and family!
