Leopold knew what worried Aurelia the most was her sons.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure Kane is safe." He had already installed hacking software on Tanya's phone. Her every move would be under surveillance.
Aurelia picked up a tangerine and began to peel it. The showdown with the AK Group was looming. If they didn't take them down, they would have no peace.
Leopold wrapped his arms around her, burying his head in her neck, inhaling her intoxicating scent.

"So, you think you'll have the AK Group out of the picture by next month?" "Their days are numbered. Everything now is their last desperate struggle." There was a deadly chill in Leopold's eyes, colder than ice, sharper than a blade.
Aurelia lifted her hand, mimicking his moves, and tousled his thick hair.
Leopold was like something out of a legend, flawlessly perfect, with hair and hairline so enticing. He made any style look good, leaving no chance for mere mortals.
She was so captivated that she couldn't help but swoon for the moment.
Suddenly, Leopold looked up, their gazes intertwining, merging, colliding, sparking like fire.
She trembled slightly, quickly lowering her lashes to hide the twinkle in her eyes, and placed another tangerine slice in her mouth.
But he wouldn't let her go, catching her chin and forcing her to look at him, his eyes scrutinizing.
"Honey, why are you sneaking peeks at me?" Aurelia swallowed the tangerine and played coy. "Sneaking peeks? | was looking quite openly." A sly smile crossed Leopold's lips. "Seems | still have sattraction for you." Aurelia was well aware of his exceptional and unrivaled looks, a clear-headed acknowledgment.
"Everyone appreciates beauty. I've always had an appreciation for beautiful people and things." too." His lips met hers, a kiss fragrant with affection.
They heard noise from outside. The little foodies were back.

She quickly straightened her clothes, showing no trace of what had happened.
"I'll go out first. Followlater." She opened the door and stepped out.
Reaching the stairwell, she encountered Skyler and Leah.
She smiled gently. "Back so soon? I'll make you srose jam." "We got lots of hazelnuts, too," Skyler said joyfully "I'm taking sto school tomorrow for William and Kane to try." Leah laughed and added, "Then I'll take a few back for Avery. He loves fresh hazelnuts. We can't buy them this fresh outside." Aurelia headed to the kitchen.
The maid cleaned the hazelnuts in the garden and brought them into the living room.
Jessica handed one to Tanya.
"Skyler is living the life he wanted now. You should be at ease." "It's just a job for now. Who knows how long it will last? My mind won't be at ease unless he's settled down." Jessica said gravely, "Children are free individuals, not extensions of their parents. How they choose to live should be up to them.
We should try not to interfere. Otherwise, it might cause their resentment and damage the relationship." Tanya was fretting inwardly. She couldn't let Skyler go about things his way, which could potentially ruin her plans.
