Leopold rolled his eyes at her words and said with a smirk, "Who else would I hide for, if not you?"
He grabbed her hand and pushed open the garden gate, making their way into the house.
As they approached the staircase, the cry of a baby pierced the air.
Aurelia's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried up the stairs.
In the room, a nanny was soothing a small infant while another was preparing a bottle of formula.
Aurelia was in shock, "Whose child is this? It couldn't be Megan's, could it?"
Leopold's lips curved into an enigmatic half-smile.
Aurelia was astounded. Megan's baby had been taken away by him.
After the baby finished feeding, Aurelia stepped forward, inspecting the child closely. He didn't look a thing like Leopold.
Yet, she teased, "He kinda looks like you."
Leopold choked, "Are you blind?"
She stuck out her tongue playfully, about to retort, when she noticed the nanny changing the baby's diaper.
Her eyes bulged, her jaw dropped open and it stayed that way.
Good heavens, what had she seen?
"It's not a girl?" But she saw that the baby was a boy.
Leopold lifted a finger to her lips, silencing her, "Who told you it was a girl?"
Aurelia swallowed hard, her mind racing. So, Megan had a boy.
Well, it made sense. With all the advancements in technology, blood tests, and ultrasounds, the chances of a mix-up were virtually nil.
"AK Group swapped Megan's baby, and they even told her it was a girl."
That was cold-blooded.
If Megan ever discovered the truth, she'd lose her mind.
