The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1058

"When's the big day, Lisbeth? When are you two thinking of making babies?" Beverley asked her tone light and teasing.

Raines shrugged nonchalantly, "Maybe in a few years. We're really enjoying our time as a duo."

Beverley chuckled, "I thought you loved kids, Raines? You always said you wanted at least three little munchkins. Fredric, Arnold, and Leopold have all jumped on the baby bandwagon, and you are still without a little one."

With a sheepish smile, Raines scratched his head and admitted, "Can't really do anything about it. I haven't been in the best of health lately. It's not exactly an ideal time to be considering having kids."

Aurelia noticed how he kept subtly emphasizing his poor health.

Raines used to be quite the robust guy, despite some lingering issues from a past head injury. After all, he was known for his love of a good meal.

It was Geoffrey who really had the health problems. Skyler always said he was fussy with food, and there were so many things he just wouldn't eat. So, he had to rely on vitamin shakes daily to keep up with his nutritional needs.

Geoffrey had once nurtured 800 blood donors at AK Group, and Aurelia couldn't help but wonder if this Raines, should he really be Geoffrey in disguise, would still be slipping away for secret transfusions.

"Leopold, why don't you set Raines up with a nutritionist to help get his health back on track," she suggested.

"Sure thing," Leopold nodded in agreement.

Lisbeth quickly waved her hands, "No need, I'm his personal nutritionist. I'll get him back in shape."

Aurelia persisted, "Lisbeth, a professional nutritionist is still a good idea. Fredric's been out of the woods for a while now but still feels weak. Having a specialist work with you could speed up his recovery."

Beverley eagerly nodded, "Exactly! Raines needs a pro. He's gotten so thin that he's barely recognizable. He must be malnourished. Lisbeth, if you really want what's best for Raines, let Leopold arrange for a professional nutritionist to properly care for him."

Raines said, "It's not necessary to go through all that trouble. Lisbeth is all I need. I don't like dealing with strangers, I just want some peace to focus on getting better."

"But Raines, you were a lawyer before, and dealing with strangers was part of the job, wasn't it?? How can you suddenly not like it? How are you going to represent clients in court?" Beverley pressed.
