The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627

Leopold's somber silence was punctuated only by the flickering of his deep eyes under the lamplight, making him appear brooding and inscrutable.

Aurelia pushed open the car door, "I'm heading back first."

Leopold knew he wasn't Popular with the Hawthorne family, so he took his leave before things got awkward.

When Aurelia arrived back at Blossom Villa, William was showing Skyler around the house.

For Skyler, it was his first visit, and he was a mix of excitement and nerves, sucking on a lollipop, an effective way for him to ease his jitters.

Jolin brought over some snacks and fruit, “Skyler, don't be shy, and make yourself at home."

She speared a slice of cheesecake with a tiny fork and offered it to Skyler.

"Th... thanks, stammered Skyler, his nervousness making him even more tonque-tied.

"Don't mention it, dear. Eat whatever you like. Later, I'll prepare a Pebblebrook special for you,’ Jolin said with a smile.

Her kindness helped relax Skyler a bit more.

Aurelia sat down and took a sip of her fruit juice.

In a low voice, William asked, "Mom, did they catch the bad guy who wanted to hurt you?"

Aurelia stroked his hair. William had been at Skyler's place all morning, and she hadn't expected them to come over together, let alone go to the park looking for her.

"Today, it was really too dangerous. Next time you boys come over, give me a call first, okay?"

"Okay" William nodded obediently, "Mom, don't be scared. Skyler and I will protect you."

Nobody could hurt Mom. He'd let Superman do the punishing.

Skyler nodded vigorously beside him, "I'm really strong, and I can protect you."
