In the villa, Skyler was tinkering with the robot Adam Five, a gift from Kane.
Aurelia had brought him a batch of homemade cranberry cookies she'd baked herself.
"Angel, can we take a vacation this weekend?" Skyler inquired eagerly
"How about we head to the Stirling family's country estate, Mossy Rock Retreat. Would you like that?"
Skyler clapped his hands with joy, "Absolutely, that sounds awesome!"
Getting him a glass of milk, his favorite treat with the cookies. Aurelia watched as he dipped a cookie and took a satisfying bite, "Delicious. If only William was here too, it would be great. Shame he's got to accompany Nellie to that TV show recording today. I kinda worry when William grows up, he might end up with a ton of girlfriends, just like Geoffrey."
Aurelia nearly choked on her breath. There was no way William would inherit Chad's playboy genes, not if she had anything to say about it, and she'd make sure of that.
"Skyler, does Geoffrey really have that many girlfriends?"
"Yes," Skyler responded, his voice muffled by the cookie in his mouth, "He's got loads, and he sleep with them." He covered his eyes with his hands. "Super embarrassing. Not for kids."
Aurelia gasped, her mind racing with concern. It seemed Geoffrey had indeed inherited Chad's infamous traits, as well as Tanya's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"He must've picked all the lousy genes," she thought.
"But isn't Geoffrey ill? How can he be up to all that stuff?"
Taking another cookie, Skyler dunked it in his milk before replying in a slow, analytical tone. "Well, from a psychological perspective, I reckon Geoffrey's got a sex addiction. It's like a compulsion. Just like being hooked on drugs. Can't kick the habit."
Aurelia couldn't help but think that Chad even on his deathbed couldn't resist a fling with a pretty nurse.
