The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 762

"Of course, he would," William nodded without hesitation, his eyes as earnest as a scout's honor. "Geppetto was always Pinocchio's real dad, just like you will always be my real daddy."

He scrambled up and threw his arms around Arnold's neck. "A daddy loving his child is the real daddy. William will love Daddy forever. I'd never turn my back on you!"

Arnold hugged him tightly, planting a loving kiss on his chubby cheek. He knew all the time and affection he'd poured into raising William wasn't in vain. No one could take William away from him, even if the truth came out one day.

"Daddy's gonna love William forever, too."

William blinked. "Even when the new baby sister comes, you won't stop loving me, right?"

The worry gnawed at him that Daddy would cast him aside once the baby sister, his biological child, came to them.

Arnold stroked his cheek gently. "How could Daddy ever stop loving you, William? You'll always be my boy."

"Pinky promise!" William extended his little finger.

Arnold chuckled and linked his pinky with William's.

Aurelia had stayed with Kane at Stirling Mansion in the past few days.

Kane missed his dad terribly, his worry eating away at him.

"Mom, Dad's okay, isn't he?"

Aurelia stroked Kane's hair, whispering so softly it was almost a breeze. "Dad's working on an important project. While he's away, Mom will be here with you every day. Don't be scared."

"I'm not scared. Mom and Dad don't need to worry about me." Kane shook his head, showing a resilience far beyond his years.

Aurelia kissed his cheek, her heart aching with pride and sorrow.

"My Kane is the bravest and the best."

Kane smiled. "Mom, I'm working on inventing a portable poison detector. Once I finish it, you'll never have to worry about poison again."
