The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1110

After lunch, the kids sprawled out on lounge chairs for a nap, and Nina's smartwatch buzzed with a call. Blinking her eyes open, she saw it was from her mom.

"Mom, are you back?"

"Nina, find somewhere private to talk. I need to speak with you."

"Okay." Nina stood up and jogged down to the beach.

Sheryl's voice came through, "Where are you now?"

"We're at Silver Surf Beach. Uncle Leopold and Uncle Arnold are here, and Dad brought along Ms. Jelena."

"In an hour, I'll be at Silver Surf Beach. Sneak out to meet me, and don't tell a soul," Sheryl instructed.

"Not even Mira?"

"Tell no one, especially not Mira. She's too clumsy and might spoil everything."

"Okay." Nina obediently replied, missing her mother terribly.

An hour later, she received a text from her mom, directing her to the resort's entrance.

Nina excused herself to go to the restroom and slipped away.

Spotting Sheryl at the entrance, she dashed over, "Mom!"

Sheryl hugged her, kissing her cheek, "Miss me?"

"So much," Nina nodded earnestly.

Sheryl presented a box of chocolates, "I got these for you to share. Give the green ones to Aunt Aurelia, Ms. Jelena, and Kane. The red ones are for you and the rest."

Nina flinched slightly, "Is there a difference between red and green?"

Mira had ended up in the hospital last time, eating poisoned cotton candy, and nearly losing her life. It hadn't occurred to Sheryl that her daughter would think of such a thing.

"Absurd! Why would I do that? I am the kindest person in the world."

"That's good then, Mom. Just don't poison anyone. If you hurt Kane and Aunt Aurelia, Uncle Leopold will be furious."

Sheryl twitched her mouth, "There's no poison, I promise. Just give them the chocolates."

"Okay," Nina agreed, "So, Mom, now that you're back, can we go home and live with you?"

"Not yet, wait a few more days," Sheryl caressed Nina's hair, "And remember, don't tell anyone about seeing me today."

"Not even Mira?" asked Nina.

"Not even her. She's a walking disaster."
