Chapter 577 Megan's gaze held a chilling glint as she spotted her, a storm brewing in the depths of her eyes.
“Aurelia, you slut. How dare you sneak around with my husband while I'm away? Nice try!” She swore in her heart.
With a possessive grip, she latched onto Leopold's arm, raising her voice intentionally as she cooed, “Honey.
Why didn't you tell me about this little getaway? I've been so bored at home all alone. I've been dying to get out and clear my head." Leopold knitted his brows, gently prying her hand away. “Didn't | tell you to stay put? It's dangerous for you to wander off like this.” "As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything”, Megan said with a pout.
Ever since she'd been tied to the bed, she'd slept straight through the night, immobile even when she woke up startled, resigning herself to slumber after a few futile struggles.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAurelia felt a twist in her heart with bitterness spreading from her tongue to her stomach.
“We should head back to our room and leave you two alone; she said, her voice steady but cold.
Leading William and Skyler toward their room, she felt their curious eyes on her.
“Who is she?" Skyler asked with innocent intrigue.
“Just a nasty piece of work,” William muttered, his excitement soured by Megan's presence. He knew their fun was over when she arrived.
Skyler pulled a face. "Why would Leopold hang out with a bad woman?" “I'm just a kid. How should | know? Adults’ world is complicated” William said with a tic sigh, his arms crossed as if he were an old soul trapped in a young body.
Skyler mimicked his sigh. "I'm a kid, too. | don't get it, either." Aurelia instructed their bodyguard to escort them back. "Skyler, rest up a bit. I'l come get you for dinner" "Okay, Skyler nodded obediently.
“Mommy, can | go play in Leopold's room?" William asked, looking up at her with hopeful eyes.
Aurelia gave her consent with a nod, reminding the guards to keep a close eye on them.
She popped open a can of apple juice and took a gulp immediately after she returned to her room. It tasted unbearably sour like she was drinking straight lemon juice.
Every encounter with Megan dragged her back to the harsh truth, forcing her to confront the reality that she and Leopold were over.
Megan was his wife at the moment. They were having a child and might even grow old together.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was destined to become collateral damage, burning herself out to light up their path.
She was a joke! Then, there was a knock at the door. It was Megan.
“Aurelia, | hope you remember Leopold is my husband, and we're about to have a baby. | don't want to catch you sniffing around him again.” Aurelia laughed coldly. “Even if | did, what could you do with me? Being the other woman is not a crime.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here lecturing me, and you'd be behind bars." Megan's face turned beet red. “Leopold loves me. To him, you're nothing but a valuable employee. He told me himself that the only reason he hasn't cut ties with you is because you're good for Astral Enterprises’ bottom line." The words were a knife to Aurelia’s heart, and the pain was spreading silently across her chest.
She had never known what she meant to Leopold.
Now that Megan had said it out loud, she found herself without a rebuttal.
But she wouldn't show weakness, not in front of her rival.
“At least | have my value. What about you? Besides leeching off him, what good have you ever done for him? You know your place. It would be a miracle if he could still love you." Megan's face was a mask of fury and embarrassment.
"Leopold and | are doing great. Love isn't something you can measure with value. How could a loveless woman like you ever understand?" “I won't burst your bubble if you don't disturb my rest. You can leave now,’ Aurelia dismissed her, signaling Yuna to show Megan out.
