Chapter 1265
In the surveillance room, Aurelia and Kane had been everywhere.
He realized they were on the hunt for William's hair.
Aurelia's search was one thing, but why was Kane joining the quest? A feeling of disbelief suddenly
surged in his chest, a secret perhaps known to everyone else but him.
The thought left a sour taste in his mouth. Kane, his beloved son, could he also be part of this deceit?
Meanwhile, William was bouncing around, off to play with Skyler and the other kids.
Kids were just like that, their moods as quicksilver as their feet.
Skyler wrapped an arm around William's shoulders, "Seeing you happy again warms my heart. Winter
break's almost over. We gotta make the most of it."
Beverley had brought along her pet alpaca, Dino.
The kids were ecstatic, all clamoring for a chance to play with Dino.
Dino was a very docile alpaca and was not afraid to see the children, standing obediently and letting
them touch his snow-white and silky fur.
"Dino's fur is so soft, so nice to touch," Nina giggled.
Mira chimed in, "Auntie Beverley, does Dino spit?"
Beverley laughed, "Not at all. She's a sweetheart, wouldn't spit."
Skyler came over with some hay, feeding the amiable alpaca.
"I want an alpaca too. They're adorable," he said, reassured by the presence of bodyguards at home,
knowing no psychopath could harm his pets again.
In the meantime, Aurelia left the elders in the card room and headed to her room.
There she found Leopold, sitting by the open window, the chilly breeze whistling in.
Rushing over, she closed it, "Aren't you cold? You'll catch your death out here."
Leopold was in a foul mood, needing some space to cool off. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"I've cheered up William."
"Okay," was all Aurelia murmured, already aware. William was now outside, happily playing with Dino.
Leopold sat on the couch, fixated on his phone, his silence uncharacteristically heavy.
Aurelia could sense something was off, probably the sharp words from earlier casting a shadow on his
mood.
"Look, I just wanted the kids to have a good time over the holidays. We can deal with the rest later."
Aurelia said.
He didn't respond, his cold demeanor like a silent war declaration.
She peeled a tangerine, offering him a segment. "You're not still mad, are you?"
Leopold was indeed mad. Deception, particularly from loved ones, was a bitter pill to swallow. He even
suspected that William knew about his true lineage and simply refused to acknowledge him as his
father, which explained his wild reaction to the hair-pulling incident.
"I'm just tired, not in the mood for talking."
Aurelia took his hand, placing it on her belly, where their unborn child lay.
"Shall we do some prenatal bonding?"
Leopold withdrew his hand, "Not today. Maybe another time."
He couldn't help but laugh, finding it impossible to stay mad in front of her. He loved her too much. "No
cold shoulder. Am I that petty?" Updated at Drаmanovels.com
Pouting, Aurelia demanded, "Then give me a kiss."
He did, wrapping her in his arms and pressing his lips to hers.
In another room, Lisbeth brought Raines a bowl of soup.
