The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1099

Leopold didn't notice anything amiss, his indulgent smile softening the morning air. "Once you're all spruced up, come on down and join William for breakfast."

"Sure." William nodded.

Once left to privacy, William quickly locked the door behind him.

Kane emerged from the bathroom, his voice laced with urgency, "You better put your mask on quick. We were narrowly discovered."

William settled in front of the mirror, meticulously adjusting his mask into place.

"If only we didn't look so much alike," he sighed.

"Well, we're identical twins," Kane replied. "It comes with the territory. Fraternal twins might've given us a break in the looks."

"Yeah, I guess." William pouted, making a mental note to be more cautious. He couldn't afford any more mix-ups like today.

After breakfast, the family, with Leopold and Aurelia at the helm, headed for Silvery Surf Bay.

The waters shimmered in verdant clarity, and the sand glowed with an enchanting silver sheen under the sun's embrace. Hence, it was named Silvery Surf Bay.

Skyler and the children kicked off their shoes and frolicked barefoot on the fine sands.

"The sand feels amazing under my feet," Skyler exclaimed, his joy infectious.

As early winter approached, the heat had tapered off, leaving the ocean cool but not cold, perfect for basking in the warmth on the beach.

Leopold and Aurelia settled into their beach chairs.

After splashing in the waves and chasing the surf, the children began to build sandcastles.

Kane ran up, plopping down beside Leopold, and took a hefty swig from a coconut.

"Dad, William had a nightmare last night," he said. "Scared him enough to cry out loud."
