Chapter 291 The world of the elite is just like a harem, with most stepmothers being as wicked as they come, and the few who aren't are manipulative. They all want their own sons to inherit the family business, viewing their stepsons as nothing more than thorns in their sides, irritants they can’t wait to get rid of. Who would protect Kane if she left? She had already lost her second child Liam, she couldn't afford to lose Kane! Gritting her teeth, she made a firm resolution. She had to negotiate terms with Leopold, insisting that she would continue to take care of Kane and never let Evelyn lay a hand on him! Unless she got the terms she wanted, she would never sign their divorce papers. Never! After her bath, she lay in bed, looking at her son in the crib.

Every now and then, he would smile as if he understood the stories his father told him.

A baby’s smile is the most innocent, pure, and unblemished thing in the world.

She wanted her son’s childhood to be carefree and happy, not marred by shadows like his father’s.

Leopold sensed something was off with her. The usually chirpy sparrow was suddenly silent, and that was never a good sign.

“Weren't you at a party today? Didn't have a good time?” She was wearing a giant cuckold’s hat, so heavy she could barely lift her head. How could she be happy? She ment*lly retorted, straining to keep her expression calm, “It was fine. Just a bit tiring.” She had planned to tell him about the doctor's unexpected death, but the words died in her throat. He was about to have another child, why would he care about the lost one? It was better not to bring it up.

Just then, her phone beeped. It was a message from Arnold: [Aurelia, I'm leaving the country tomorrow. Can we have dinner tonight?] She glanced at it, and Leopold did too. His brow furrowed, he snatched her phone and tossed it onto the couch. [Ignore him, and don’t go.” Aurelia was suddenly furious, her frustrations and resentments rushing to the forefront.

She jumped out of bed, hands on her waist, glaring at him.

“Mr. Leopold, don’t do unto others what you don’t want done to you. | know your Stirling family have their own twisted rules, where men can have multiple wives and mistresses, but women must uphold their chastity. | have no intention of adhering to those rules, especially not as your wife. | make my own rules. If you want me to remain chaste, then you should uphold your masculine honor.” He was always out there rolling around in bed with Evelyn, even fathering a bastard child. And he had the nerve to demand fidelity from her? Leopold was initially furious, but her demeanor made him both amused and irritated.

“What exactly is masculine honor?” “Masculine honor is when a man remains faithful, keeps his body and mind pure for his wife, doesn’t flirt with other women, remains unswayed when confronted with a seductress, and never steps out of line,” Aurelia said with utmost seriousness.

Leopold scoffed, hoisting her sideways and tossing her onto the bed, then looming over her.

“Are you trying to domesticate me now?” Aurelia shrank back, gathering her courage to meet his gaze.

12 11-23 Chapter Normally, she was afraid of him, but when she was provoked, she became fearless, challenging him without a care for her own safety.

“To me, a marriage must be based on equality. Otherwise, we might as well separate.” He gripped her chin, looking at her with a mocking smirk, “Do you think you're my equal?” Aurelia felt as if she had been stabbed in the back. She was not! In his eyes, she was ordinary, unremarkable, insignificant.

He never considered her his real wife. No, more accurately, he didn’t think she was worthy of being his wife. How could they ever be equals? “So, we're not right for each other.” She said.

A spark ignited in his eyes, “Even if you want to leave, you still have obligations to fulfill.” 2/2
