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

Chapter 1222

In her mind, Charles and Harriet had always been the picture of marital bliss. Could Charles actually be

playing the field?

She hadn't thought it possible. Men really had no self-control.

Slipping an arm around Beverley's shoulders, she said, "Alright, we've shopped enough. Let's head out

for lunch."

Out of sight, out of mind.

After paying, they left the store together. Watching Aurelia's retreating figure, Megan's eyes nearly

bulged out of her skull. She wished her glare could be as piercing as an arrow, striking Aurelia through

the heart from behind.

In the restaurant, they requested a private booth. Beverley took a sip of her juice and leaned in to

whisper, "Aurelia, about Dad and that young actress..."

Aurelia interrupted hastily, "How could I ever believe Megan's gossip?"

Beverley exhaled deeply, "It's true, though. Dad really is keeping that actress on the side. He's got a

sugar baby."

Aurelia choked on her drink, "Could there be some mistake? Weren't Uncle Charles and Aunt Harriet

always so loving?"

Beverley replied, "Life is long, and even the happiest couples can grow weary of each other. When they

were young, they were great together. Mom was young and beautiful, a real catch, so of course, Dad

adored her. But now that Mom's aged, and Dad has all these young beauties around him, it's hard for

him not to crave some variety."

Aurelia felt like she'd been punched in the gut. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
