The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1006

Arnold was back in town. As the eldest brother, Fredric wasted no time in arranging a family get-together for the weekend. He also extended an invitation to Beverley and Skyler.

After finding out the truth about his heritage, Skyler was surprised but tried not to let it get to him too much.

Previously, only Leopold had been his cousin by blood, but now it turned out these four were all his half-brothers.

He was their big brother, no less.

But Skyler couldn't be sure they would continue to get along with him like before once they knew the truth.

Skyler could tell Fredric seemed to enjoy being the big brother. If he were to take over that role, perhaps Fredric would get upset and stop including him in their gatherings.

Maybe sticking to his role as the big brother in the Heninger family was the way to go.

Arnold arrived with his son William in tow, fresh from his divorce with Lisa and now as a single dad as well as a rich bachelor.

Whenever he saw Aurelia and Leopold together, Arnold felt a pang of heartache. The betrayal was something he couldn't just shake off.

Leopold, with his arm securely around Aurelia's shoulders, seemed to be staking his claim.

This was his silent way of saying Aurelia belonged to him, a gesture that only twisted the knife deeper into Arnold's wounded heart.

William dashed up to Aurelia with his usual buoyancy. "Mommy, did Kane not come today?"

"Kane had a club event at school, sweetie. Why don't you hang out with Nina and Mira?"

"Okay." William stuck out his tongue playfully. "The Hackers Alliance sure has a lot of stuff going on. It seems that our Ingenious Craft needs to step up our game."

Aurelia laughed gently. "Spending the weekend with family at home is pretty great too, don't you think?"
