The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 327

When Aurelia rushed back to her apartment, Arnold was already home, cradling William in his arms, gently massaging his stomach.

“Feeling better?”

“Just a little.” William was over the moon. He had both his mom and dad by his side.

Aurelia heaved a sigh of relief, and gently pinched his chubby cheek, “Less ice cream in winter, okay?”

“Okay.” William stuck out his tongue and said, “When are we going back to Goldstone?” He was worried about his mom here. It felt dangerous like she could be taken away at any moment. Arnold shared his son's sentiments. The longer Aurelia stayed here, the more he worried.

Aurelia had something to discuss with Arnold, “I've been doing nothing at home. I'm thinking about returning to Astral Enterprises. If you agree...” Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Arnold's heart skipped a beat and asked, “Did Leopold ask you to come back?”

Aurelia pursed her lips, “After Leopold announced our relationship, Evelyn Alcott left Astral Enterprises and moved abroad. Darcy is managing the Design Department now. Ethereal Gems' newly organized design team, using my previous ideas, has made quite a few innovative designs. They've surpassed Astral Enterprises in sales for two consecutive quarters. Astral Enterprises is the company I used to work for, and Darcy is one of the members of my team. I can't just watch them lose.”

Arnold wrapped his arm around her and said, “I always respect your decisions. But you can't get too close to Leopold, or I'll get jealous.”

She looked up into his eyes, her gaze serious and sincere, “Leopold and I are finished. There's no lingering connection. I'll divorce him in six months, and I promise.”

Her words reassured him, and a smile of relief tugged at his lips.

William had fallen asleep in his arms. Arnold lovingly kissed his forehead, laid him down in bed, and tucked him in.

Just then, his phone rang. Marcia had sent a message, "Arnold, do you still want to know who my accomplice is? Let's go to Freysland tomorrow. I'll introduce you."

At the Stirling Mansion.

Back in his room, he called William on his smartwatch.

William woke up from a dream, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

“What's up, Kane?” He wasn't trying to take Mom away, was he?

Kane asked, “William, is your stomach ache better?”

William replied, “No, it's still hurting.”

Kane said with concern, “Then rest and take your medicine. I made pancakes. When you're feeling better, I'll have Mom bring some for you.”

“Okay.” After hanging up, William felt guilty. Had he done something wrong? Kane was mom's child too. He needed her as well. If only they could live together. That way, they wouldn't have to worry about losing mom.
