The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 814

Aurelia gently laid Nova down in the crib, tucking her in with a soft, pastel blanket.

The children scurried over, eager to catch a glimpse of their new sister.

Mira bent down, her lips puckering to plant a kiss on Nova's cheek, but William tugged at her sleeve.

"No, Mira," he cautioned, "you can't kiss her. Her skin's super sensitive, and she can get sick real easy."

He was the big brother, and it was his job to look out for his little sister Nova.

"Right on, William," Kane nodded in agreement, "Especially the grown-ups, they gotta steer clear of kissing the baby. If someone's got a cold or something worse, it could get passed right on to the baby."

Mira shrank back, her eyes wide, "I'm not sick, but okay, I won't kiss her. She's too tiny, anyways."

Nova stirred, her mouth twitching as if she might cry, but the sight of her eager siblings piqued her curiosity. Her big eyes locked onto them, unblinking.

William gently touched her chubby hand, "Hey there, Nova. I'm William, your big bro."

"And I'm Kane, your big cousin," Kane introduced himself.

"I'm your big cousin Nina, and Mira's your second cousin," Nina chimed in with a grin.

Nova kicked her little feet and waved her hands, cooing as if to join in the conversation.

Aurelia checked Nova's diaper, and it was time for a change.

"Alright, boys, out you go. Diaper duty," she said with a hint of amusement.

Kane and William scampered out, waiting in the hallway.

Aurelia slipped off the soiled diaper and gently patted Nova's bottom with a layer of all-natural baby powder to prevent diaper rash, then fastened a fresh diaper in place.

She had asked Lisa to spend the day with Arnold, leaving the childcare to her.

"Coast is clear, boys," Aurelia called out.
