The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)

Chapter 326

The words had an intimidating grip, clearly cutting off all her escape routes, making it impossible for

her to work in the other companies.

With fear, she swallowed, pushing away his hand, “I need some time to think.”

Kane came bounding in from outside, fresh from his classes, “Mom, Laura taught me how to make

pancakes, and I’ll whip some up for you.”

These past few days, Leopold had been sneaking into the kitchen, learning culinary tricks from Laura.

Unfortunately, he seemed to be lacking a gift for it, nearly setting the kitchen ablaze and even

managing to earn himself several blisters from hot oil splatters. Kane, on the other hand, picked up the

pancake recipe in no time.

He felt Dad should focus on other ways to cheer Mom up. He’d take care of the cooking.

Leopold rubbed his forehead, even the mere mention of cooking irked him, and his oil burns started to

throb.

He wasn’t one to give up.

He was the top bachelor of Elysium, surely a little kitchen wouldn’t defeat him.

Aurelia ran her fingers gently through Kane’s hair, “Honey, you’re still too young, and it’s dangerous for

you to cook in the kitchens. If you want pancakes, how about I make them for you?”

Fully serious, Kane stared back at her, “I want you to taste the pancakes I make myself. Don’t worry,

and I’ll be careful.”

He sauntered into the kitchen, retrieving flour, eggs, and milk.

Aurelia stood silently by, watching him with mixed emotions. Her son was growing up, but it was heart–

wrenching.

In comparison to William, he was more like Leopold, even their temperaments matched. He was like a

carbon copy of Leopold. While William’s personality was more like her.

Leopold also joined them, leaning against the kitchen doorway, eyeing his son with

interest.

True to the saying, the student outdoes the master, and their son was proving to be more competent,

without any weak points.

Aurelia sensed Leopold’s presence and as she turned towards him, their eyes met, kindling unspoken

warmth.

She quickly averted hér gaze, refusing to let any hint of affection slip through.

She had chosen Arnold, deciding to spend the rest of her life repaying his kindness and

care. Her ties with Leopold were officially over.

She wouldn’t waver, and she wouldn’t do anything to upset Arnold.

As for her feelings for Leopold, they would be locked away, never to be unearthed again…..

Leopold’s gaze dimmed, tinted with a hint of melancholy. He wasn’t sure if he could win her back, and

he only had that marriage certificate to hold onto her.

Perhaps their bond wasn’t entirely severed, otherwise, he wouldn’t have run into her in Hawaii and

brought her back.

Kane used a whisk to turn the batter into a smooth mix, poured it into a mold, brushed on some butter, sprinkled sesame seeds, and finally slid it into the oven.

“Mom, it’ll be ready to eat once it’s baked.”

Aurelia took his cold little hand, “Kane, you haven’t tasted my cooking yet. How about I make you some

delicious dishes tonight?”

“Sure.” Kane nodded, “Dad also loves it.” He turned towards Leopold, who had an enigmatic smile on

his face. He too had never tasted a meal prepared by Aurelia. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Just then, Aurelia’s phone rang, and it was a call from William.

“Mommy, my stomach hurts so bad. When are you coming home?”

Aurelia jolted, “What did you eat today? Why is your stomach hurting all of a sudden?”

“I just had an ice cream.”

“Must have upset your stomach. Is your daddy home?”

“No.”

“Did Abbey give you some probiotics?”

“I took her, but it’s still hurting. Can you come home soon, I’m scared.”

“Don’t be scared, sweetheart. Mommy will be home in no time.”

Aurelia hung up, looking apologetically at Kane, “Sorry, I have an emergency, and I need to go home.”

Kane’s bright eyes immediately dimmed, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

The pancakes weren’t even ready yet.

But hearing his little brother was sick, he nodded understandingly, “It’s okay, and don’t worry. I’ll save

the pancakes for when you come back.”

Back at Rosewood Manor.

Having ended the call, a sly grin spread across William’s face. He wasn’t about to let Kane
