“The boys in our family have always been quite the charmers, you know," he said with a playful swag, a sly grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. "The fashionistas go gaga over my daddy, and the high-society dames are all over Uncle Leopold, and every girl in this place is head over heels for Uncle Avery..."
Shaking his head with exaggerated pride, he added, "And let's not forget, babes all over the globe are crazy about me and Skyler. We’re Sky-Will, the ultimate combo of looks and brains."
Skyler clapped his hands in delight, reveling in the moment.
The room erupted in a chorus of laughter.
Leah blinked in amusement and asked, "What's Sky-Will supposed to mean?"
"Skyler plus William plus Superman, duh," William explained in his childlike voice, puffing up with pride.
"Oh," Leah chuckled, realizing her big brother's kindred spirit was none other than little William. No wonder they never wanted to leave each other.
After the party, William went home with Arnold.
During that time, Aurelia had stayed at the Stirling Mansion, looking after Kane.
William stuck with Arnold.
Aurelia and her son slept in the following day, basking in the luxury of waking up naturally.
They had just finished breakfast when Fredric and his wife Sheryl arrived with their daughters, Nina and Mira.
Kane took Nina and Mira upstairs to play. After exchanging pleasantries, Aurelia followed them upstairs.
Being divorced from Leopold, she was somewhat of an outsider in the Stirling family.
Over a cup of coffee, Jessica spoke softly, "Sheryl, darling, you'll take care of Arnold's daughter's christening."
"Of course," Sheryl nodded. "We went to see little Nova yesterday. She's very adorable and the spitting image of Arnold."
"You're the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, dear Sheryl. Try to mediate between Arnold and his wife. If you can prevent a divorce, do so. Our family has been through generations without such strife. This generation seems to be the most troublesome. You and Fredric need to set a good example for your younger brothers."
