Chapter 585
“Last night, you had your son trick me into heading down to the rocky shore, and I fell there. Then, you took advantage of me being in the hospital and tried to seduce my husband. That's pretty low"
William overheard the accusation and puffed up his cheeks indignantly. “Ma'am, you can eat a bad meal and live to tell the tale, but spreading lies is a different story. I didn't trick you. I just said Mom might be out by the rocks. If that’s what you call deception, the whole world's full of fibbers."
Aurelia looked at Megan with a smirk playing on her lips. “What's got you so hot and bothered, rushing to find me? Were you worried I might be making out with Leopold and planning to keep tabs on me around the clock?"
Megan rolled her eyes exasperatedly. "Are you going to sit there and tell me you didn’t try to put the moves on my husband yesterday?"
Aurelia gave a nonchalant shrug. “Why would I deny it? I never have to chase after any man."
At that moment, Skyler bounded in, his energy palpable as he plopped beside William.
“William, I had the wildest dream last night. We built a gigantic candy house together."
William grinned, his teeth shining. “Let's head to Sweetland Park later and build a real candy house. What do you say?"
“Yeah!” Skyler clapped his hands joyfully, then turned to Megan and stuck out his tonque at her. “Ma’am, why are you still hanging around? Leopold doesn't even like you. Ever since you showed up, he... he doesn't join in on our games. I went to call him for lunch, and he said he didn't want to... didn't want to go to the diner. He wanted to eat in his room, probably because he can’t stand seeing you."
Megan felt like a murder of crows had just flown over her head.
"I'm Leopold's wife, not any woman, and for your information, Leopold and I are just fine. He doesn't want to see certain people. That's all."
Skyler crossed his arms and pouted. “Next time we go out to play, could you... not follow us? We don’t want to play with you."
