The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 323

Aurelia's heart, once twisted in knots, began to unwind. As long as he was willing to divorce and set her free, she could agree to any terms.

"Alright, I agree. I hope you'll keep your word."

Leopold's deep, icy gaze flickered in the sunlight, a glimmer of malicious amusement in his eyes.

"You're to stay here every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to take care of Kane."

Aurelia was taken aback. How could she stay here? Just as she was about to refuse him, Kane came running from a distance.

"Mommy." The soft voice carried a powerful force that struck her heart.

"Kane!" Her shoulders trembled, and before she could turn around, the little boy had thrown himself into her arms with a hug.

"Mommy, you're finally back. I finally have a mommy."

Hearing this, Aurelia's tears could no longer be held back. They gushed out like a burst dam, unstoppable.

She had left when Kane was only a month old. She didn't owe Leopold, but she owed Kane. She owed him the motherly love he deserved.

"I'm sorry, Kane." She hugged him tightly, the words of refusal stuck in her throat, unable to be voiced.

"Mommy!" Kane clung to her neck. "You won't leave me again, will you?"

Aurelia choked, gently stroking his little face. He looked just like William, and she said, "I'll come to visit you often."

"Mommy, I'll show you my room."

"Okay."

She took his hand, and they walked out of the garden together.

Watching them retreating, Leopold's gaze deepened, like an ancient well that even blocked out the sunlight.

While Aurelia was taking a shower, William climbed into Arnold's lap. "Daddy, you have to keep a close eye on Mommy to keep her away from the bad man."

Arnold was taken aback and asked, "Did you eavesdrop on our conversation again?"

William made a face and held up his finger, "I only heard a little bit. Mommy met a bad man at the Elysium. He wants to take mommy away."

Arnold stroked his head, and asked, "Would you leave me?"

"No." William shook his head vigorously, "I love you the most. I'll always be with you, even when I grow up."

Arnold was comforted and gave his little face a loving peck. He had always treated William as his son, and he believed that between him and Leopold, William would choose him, just like Aurelia.

"Good boy." Arnold nodded firmly.

Even though William was not his own, as long as he was on his side, he would not lose to Leopold.
