The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1138

Mira wrapped her chubby little fingers around Nova's hand and giggled, "Gosh, what are you babbling about? I can't understand a word!"

William shook his head and chuckled. "That's baby talk. We all used to speak it before we grew up and learned real words. Then we just forget all about the baby talk."

"What?" Mira smacked her forehead in astonishment. "Why do we have to forget baby talk? Now we can't even chat with the little tots."

Nina mused, "Baby talk must be the most mysterious and ancient language of humankind, filled with all sorts of secrets. That's probably why God makes us forget it."

Beverley wore a look of intrigue. "Do you guys know why kids forget everything from their baby years as they grow up?"

The children looked at her, puzzled. "Why?"

"Because babies can remember their past lives and even see souls. That's why their memories have to be wiped clean," Beverley explained with a mystic flair, being a seasoned researcher in the esoteric arts.

Mira shivered and hugged herself. "That's way too spooky. I don't want to see any ghosts!"

Beverley pinched her rosy cheek playfully. "You can't see them anymore, sweetie. Only tiny babes like Nova might catch a glimpse." As she spoke, Nova turned her head towards an empty space, eyes wide as if she saw something.

Everyone's gaze followed, but there was nothing there, just thin air.

Mira, always the faint-hearted, clutched her eyes and screamed. "Ghosts... ghosts... there must be a ghost. Nova must have seen one." Her scream startled even Beverley.

"Mira, don't just scream like that, you're scaring everyone. There's no way ghosts would be out in broad daylight. They're terrified of the sun."

Nova turned his little head towards Skyler, cooing and babbling as if she was trying to say something.

Skyler just shrugged helplessly.

"Nova, are you trying to talk to me? What do you want to say, buddy?"
