Chapter 691 Jessica cared only for her grandson, not Aurelia, so Tanya advised with earnest gravity, "You've got to hang in there. Once the baby is born and you've got your talisman, you can stand your ground against then.

Megan caressed her swelling belly, plotting silently that as soon as her child was born, she'd have the Boss initiate a clean-up plan to wipe out all of Leopold's children, leaving only her son.

After the boat docked, everyone retreated to their hotel rooms for some rest.

Leopold headed for Aurelia's room.

"Sweetheart, you weren't jealous today, were you?” he asked.

Aurelia rolled her eyes, “First off, I'm your ex-wife, not your sweetheart. And second, even if you had a harem, | wouldn't be jealous" Upon on hearing it, a shade of disappointment flickered in Leopold's eyes, "Can't you at least pretend to be a little jealous? Why be so cold?" She gave him an exasperated look, "Do you get a kick out of seeing me jealous? Does it stroke your ego?" "Yes." He confessed, gazing at her earnestly, "I wish you'd be jealous just once. You've never been jealous." “Sorry to disappoint,” she said with a shrug, her voice cooler than she felt, "I actually enjoy seeing you disappointed. I'm not going to inflate your pride" “Aurelia, he said with a laugh tinged with frustration, “You do love torturing me, don't you?" "Yep." She nodded without hesitation, "That's what you get from the woman you ditched, the woman who might not even take you back if you begged.” He grabbed her shoulders, "Just remember, if | die of a broken heart one day, don't you dare regret it." Her gaze met his, unwavering, "You're too lucky to die young. You'll live to a ripe old age. Men like you always pine for the one they can't have, so I'll be that woman you'll never get." Leopold cupped her face, his eyes swimming with tenderness, "To me, you're the best. No one compares.

She didn't buy a word of it. "You say that because you lost me. Once I'm back, who's to say you won't get tired of me again?" Leopold sighed in resignation, “If I could, I'd crack open my heart to show you it only beats for you." Aurelia lacked the courage to believe him, fearing another heartbreak.

Even if she climbed the social ladder tirelessly, he would always be the man looking down from the apex, unreachable. She could never ascend to his level, to sit beside him as an equal.

To him, she was just like a piece of clothing, a trophy. Without her, he’d have plenty of others. He wanted her heart, to have her adore and worship him like other women did, and it was all about conquest and possession.

But she was different. She gave her heart, and once broken, the scars would last a lifetime, never to fully heal.

“There are plenty of women who love you. One more or one less doesn't matter" "I don’t want anyone else, just you.” His gaze was serious, sincere, and open, "One day you'll see I'm not as terrible as you think" Aurelia wished for that day too.

“Are you trying to tell me, you're just playing the field right now?" “No matter whether you care or not, I'll remain true to you,” he asserted firmly.

Aurelia was taken aback, almost convinced he was joking. It wasn't April Fool's Day, after all.

She couldn't help but wonder if he thought she was naive, easy to fool.
