Leopold gently pinched her cheek, "Saying Liam is still kicking around would be more believable than him being reincarnated.”
Aurelia let out a long sigh, "If there's no afterlife, then once this life is over, we'll be parted forever."
Leopold pulled her into his embrace, his eyes brimming with tender ripples, "Babe, we're young, and we've got a whole lifetime
ahead of us. We'll only know if there's an afterlife when we get there. If there is one, we'll be together in the next life, forever and
always."
Aurelia playfully glared at him, “That depends on how you behave. If you screw up, we might not even make it through this
lifetime.”
His lips curved into a captivating smile, “I'll only get better, making sure you can never leave me.”
"There's no one in this world who can't be lived without. The Earth will keep spinning without anyone, without any difference."
"I can't live without you. Without you, my world would stop spinning."
"lI wasn't around before, and you managed just fine."

"That was for Kane. If it wasn't for him, | would be gone when you cback."
Aurelia was skeptical, and perhaps he did have a fondness for her, but surely not to this extreme.
"Every man likes a pretty woman. When | get old and ugly, you might just get sick of me."
"I could never get sick of you," Leopold said with unwavering confidence.
Aurelia chuckled, thinking he must have his lips dipped in honey, becoming more skilled at sweet-talking by the day.
After a moment of silence and sfruit, she changed the subject.
"Skyler got another text from Geoffrey. If Mossy Rock Retreat isn't bugged, how does Geoffrey know what Skyler is up to?"
Leopold's expression turned grave.
"The security department has stepped up. They'll figure it out."
"How's Tanya doing on the island?" asked Aurelia.
Leopold's lips twisted into a sly smile, "It's a paradise, peaceful and pleasant, filled with birdsong and the scent of flowers. Perfect
for her golden years."
Aurelia pulled a face, "I think she can't wait to get off that island. She's probably dreaming of coming back. Geoffrey is out there
looking for her, trying to whisk her away. He's quite devoted."
Whether Geoffrey was devoted or not, Leopold knew Geoffrey needed Tanya's financial backing. AK Group's headquarters had been
decimated, and the remnants were just gasping for breath.
"He won't find Tanya."
Aurelia picked up a glass of juice from the coffee table and took a sip.
"Do you really think Geoffrey is Skyler's twin brother?"
"Highly unlikely," Leopold said sternly.

Aurelia pouted, "Another one of Chad's bastards? Chad sure played the field, scattering seeds everywhere. Bastards galore."
Marrying a man like that was like a curse of bad luck spanning eighteen generations.
Anyone who liked Chad must be either lovestruck or a gold digger.
"He must've been sick," Leopold said coldly.
Aurelia wasn't sure if he was cursing Chad or stating he was actually ill.
"Skyler mentioned he might have a sex addiction."
"That would explain why he played himself to death," Leopold remarked indifferently.
Jessica knew of Chad's philandering heart and couldn't bear it. That was why she intentionally found him a young and attractive
nurse with a stunning figure to send him off.
Men shouldn't push their wives too far, or they would face dire consequences.
Jessica was certainly not a woman to be trifled with, and she had her own plans and could endure more than anyone.
