The CEO’S Unplanned Heir Novel

Chapter 172 Aurelia teased, “If you follow him like this, aren’t you afraid of being caught by paparazzi and them saying he’s mamma’s boy?” “Let them say what they want, can’t a mother care for her son?” Jolin replied, throwing the diced chicken into the pot, adding water, and starting to simmer the soup.

She then took steak from the refrigerator, and sliced it while saying, “I don’t have to worry about you with Arno and Mr.

Leopold by your side.

Both of them are nice men.

I’d be happy no matter who you marry” Aurelia choked at her words.

Her mother misunderstood her relationship with Arno, but now even her big boss had fallen under suspicion.

Where did she get the idea that Leopold had feelings for her? “Mom, you’re overthinking it! Mr.

Leopold is my boss, and there’s absolutely nothing between us!” Jolin gave her a knowing smile, “My dear, I have sharp eyes.

I can tell if he is interested in you or not.

I thought he might see you as a further sister–in–law initially, but from what he said, understand now.

He has feelings for you.

” Aurelia was speechless.

Her mother indeed had a sharp eye.

But her boss wasn’t interested in her; it was just his possessiveness acting up, unwilling to let go of something, even if he didn’t want it.

“Mom, you’ve completely misunderstood.

Mr.

Leopold has a fiancee.

” Jolin paused in her slicing, her expression growing a bit more serious, “I’ve heard from Avery that the situation is indeed complicated.

And Arno might be a better match.

With his mother gone, you won’t have to deal with daughter–in–law’s conflicts.

You two could lead a peaceful life.

” Jolin sliced pieces of steak and continued, “You can start by being friends with Arno.

Take it slow, no need to rush.

With men, you have to keep them curious, make them itch continuously, and not give in too easily.

Otherwise, they won’t cherish you.

You need to learn how to maintain the right balance, leaving room for both advance and retreat.

That’s the only way to firmly hold him.

” Aurelia sighed, feeling overwhelmed, “Mom, I can handle my own affairs.

Maybe you should focus more on Avery.

” One of a younger brother’s roles was to help shift the focus.

As Aurelia wished, Jolin turned her attention to her son, “When Avery gets a wife, she’ll have to pass my scrutiny.

A single glance from my sharp eyes will reveal if she’s suitable or not.

And if she’s not, it’ll be an immediate breakup.

Just like that girl Bonnie, I knew she was unreliable, and it turned out I was right.

” Aurelia made a face, “Avery’s a film star, he’ll have numerous on–screen couples, but getting a wife is something that won’t happen for another ten years.

You should prepare yourself for that.

” Jolin laughed, “No worries, you can just give me a grandchild.

” She reached out and touched Aurelia’s belly, which

startled Aurelia and made her shiver.

She quickly stepped back, “Mom, your hands… you haven’t washed them.

” Jolin’s smile froze abruptly and was replaced with a serious expression.

Her eyes fixed on Aurelia’s belly.

“Lift your shirt up and let me see your belly!” Aurelia instinctively clutched the hem of her shirt, every nerve in her body tensing up.

Her face pale slightly, and her heart seemed to jump into her throat.

“I’ve just put on a few pounds; can you not make a big deal out of it?” “It’s not just a few pound.

You look like you’re four months pregnant.

” Jolin washed her hands and turned to face her.

She gazed at Aurelia earnestly.

“Tell me the truth, have you slept with Arno?” Aurelia’s heart was trembling, and so as her fingers.

In fact, she was almost six months pregnant, but it was just not that obvious.

Her mother’s eyes were like a scanner, and her hands were like an ultrasound machine! With only a single touch, she had discovered her secret.

God, what should she do? She swallowed hard and forced herself to remain calm, “Of course not! How could we remain friends if we had slept with each other?” “Then what about his brother?” Jolin asked in an interrogative tone.

.

“He’s my boss, and I haven’t even shaken hands with him.

” Aurelia said, intentionally lowering her head and wearing a wry smile to conceal her guilt.

Although she hadn’t slept with Leopold, he had touched her, kissed her!
