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

Chapter 1258

William shrugged nonchalantly, "I couldn't care less, Dad won't stop loving me just because I'm a

bastard."

Kane said, "If Uncle Arnold truly loves you, he wouldn't stop loving you just because you acknowledged

your father."

William spoke earnestly, "If my true identity comes out, Dad would be embarrassed. Would the Stirlings

criticize him? How would others view him? I can't let Dad face that kind of gossip."

Kane fell silent, realizing William's concerns were legitimate and not unfounded.

If everyone knew William wasn't Arnold's child, but rather Leopold's son Liam, there would inevitably be

whispers and even blame.

After all, the truth had been kept secret for so long, leading everyone to believe Liam was gone.

"This is a real pickle," Kane mused, "Let me think on it and find a suitable way out for you."

Inside the house, Leopold entered the room where Aurelia was lounging on the couch, engrossed in a

TV show.

He settled beside her, took a sip of his lemonade, and said in a measured tone, "William's throwing a

tantrum, says he doesn't want us to have a little sister."

Aurelia flinched slightly, "He's just scared of being neglected. Kids can be a bit temperamental. William

is quite sensitive, and he's worried that with a stepdad and stepmom, we won't love him anymore. We

should make an extra effort to give him a sense of security."

Leopold shrugged, "That's your and Arnold's problem, not mine. I don't have the time to deal with

someone else's kid." His voice was deliberately cold, "You should know, my relationship with William is

going downhill. If we reach a point of no return, even if one day you suddenly tell me he's my son, our

relationship might end up just like the one with Chad."

His words struck Aurelia like a thunderbolt, leaving her utterly shaken. "Is it really that serious? You’re

an adult, and are you really holding a grudge against a four-year-old?"

Leopold replied, "Being young isn't an excuse for him. I've already treated him better than any bastard Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

deserves, and he's shown no gratitude, no sense at all."

A chill ran through Aurelia, and it seemed he was growing to dislike William more and more.

Leopold had more children than just William, so he could not indulge him unconditionally. He might

become as biased as Chad, preferring Kane to the point of exclusion, even if he found out William was

his own son Liam.

"William isn't like that, and he's actually very sensible. Maybe he's distancing himself because he feels

you don't like him."

"I don't like him. Why should I like someone else's kid?" Leopold scoffed.

Aurelia, taking his words to heart, was plunged into deep anxiety.

She definitely didn't want Leopold and William's relationship to turn as sour as the one with Chad.

"He's not someone else's child. Didn't I tell you he's the reincarnation of Liam? That makes him your

child too."

Leopold took another slow sip of water and said with deliberation, "Do you think I, as a materialist,

would believe such nonsense?"
