The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 325

But her son's life was something she couldn't meddle with.

Over the past three years, Jessica had tried to match her son with countless wealthy heiresses, even European royalty, but he remained as cold as ice, not even sparing them a glance.

"Mrs. Stirling," Aurelia greeted with a respectful nod.

Jessica gave her a slight nod in return, then walked towards the backyard, her demeanor icy.

Aurelia could tell that she was not well-liked. Being a commoner, a girl from a humble background, she knew she wouldn't be favored by her rich mother-in-law, especially since she was soon to get a divorce.

Kane was in the study.

As she was about to go upstairs, Laura came over, "Madam, there's an elevator over here."

"Laura!" Aurelia exclaimed, hugging her excitedly, "I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too, Aurelia. I'm relieved to see you're alright." Laura's eyes welled up with tears.

"Laura, thank you for taking such good care of Kane."

"Kane is just like his father was at his age. He insists on doing everything himself. He may only be three, but he's incredibly smart." Laura said with a smile.

Aurelia could tell that her two sons, despite looking alike, had completely different personalities. Kane was introverted and steady, while William was lively and energetic.

Upon exiting the elevator, she ran into Leopold, who was dressed in a casual but elegant outfit, exuding a sense of laid-back luxury, which showed his stunning good looks.

"Come here," he called softly.

"What for?" she replied, not wanting to be alone with him.

"We've discussed personal matters before. Today, let's talk business." He turned around and walked towards his study. Aurelia followed him, confused.

"I am a man who separates business from personal matters. Our relationship will not affect your work, and I believe you feel the same. If you're willing to come back, I will establish a brand for you at Astral Enterprises. If you plan to become a homemaker, burying your talents, then ignore what I've said."

Aurelia rubbed her hands together. She had to admit that his offer was very tempting.

Her brand! That was the ultimate dream of every designer. But...

"Everyone knows about our relationship now. Won't it be awkward if I go back?"

Leopold raised an eyebrow, "You earned your position as the director through your effort, not because of our relationship. What's there to feel guilty about?"

Aurelia sighed. They were about to divorce, and she would soon go from being the CEO's wife to his ex-wife. She didn't know how many strange looks she would have to endure.

While she was pondering, Leopold suddenly closed the gap between them. His handsome face was almost touching hers, the overwhelming sense of pressure making her nervous.

He lifted a finger, touching her chin gently, "Astral Enterprises is your only choice. You can only be my ally, never my competitor."
