NovelAppLeopold pondered for a moment before stretching out his large hand and wrapping it around her slender waist, a devilish smirk creeping onto his lips, “Honey, let's keep trying for that daughter tonight.” Aurelia shot him a playful glare, “We should focus on having a healthy baby first. Let's plan for a couple of months before we try again. Besides, | haven't found that old tale recipe for a baby girl yet.” Leopold's plans were thrown into disarray, “But we only have one son. Having another wouldn't be too many.” He hoped that Liam would return.
But in her mind, they didn’t just have one. There were already two, and another would be one too many! She only wanted a daughter like Nova, chubby and chirpy, a little bundle of joy.
“Anyway, | only want a daughter. Daughters are like warm hugs on a cold day.” “Isn't our boy Kane sweet enough for you?” Leopold pinched her cheek gently, then seemed to remember something and asked, “Isn't your period a bit late this month?” Aurelia checked her phone and did the math. It seemed to be a few days late, but her cycle was never regular.

It happens all the time.” “Last time, we ran out of...” Leopold hinted, but she waved it off nonchalantly, “We were in the safe period. There's no problem.” Each ther menstrual cycle ended, their sexual encounters would becmore intense, to the point where their supply of contraceptives barely sufficed.
Fortunately, they were presently in a safe period.
Reassured by her words, Leopold didn’t press the matter further.
In the backyard, Skyler and the kids had started setting up tents.
Tonight was their camping and gourmet food party.
With so many people to play with Nina and Mira, the two kids could momentarily forget the worries of their parents’ divorce and lose themselves in fun.
Soon, the tents were pitched.
“Yee-haw!” Skyler rolled around inside, jubilant, “Let the gourmet campout commence!” The staff brought out snacks and fruits.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe five of them gathered around a picnic table, munching away and playing Monopoly.
That was when Skyler’s phone buzzed with a message.
[Skyler, it's been so long. Don’t you miss your aunt and brother?] Skyler could almost see a dark cloud looming over the bright sky, spoiling the mood.
[Nope, I'm having too much fun right here.] [Don’t you ever think of rescuing our mother?] Skyler made a face. [She's enjoying a resort on an island, living the good life, free from all the mess. Don’t bother her.] [Have you lost your mind, or has Leopold brainwashed you? That's a prison, not a resort.] Skyler pouted, [Can you have servants in prison? Can you sip tea on the beach there? auntie is old. Letting her spend her days in peace by the sea is a joy. If you miss her, | can ask my cousin to send you over to keep her company, alright?] His cousin had said that auntie not only wanted to harm him but also their father. She must be out of her mind. Keeping her isolated on that little island ensured everyone's safety, and he stood by his cousin and father’s decision.
Auntie was indeed not in her right mind and suffered from a paranoid personality disorder.
So did Geoffrey.
The reply cquickly. [You're such a fool. They offer you a bit of sweetness and you completely forget your own mother and brother.] Skyler snorted. [How can you prove you're my real brother? You're always behind a mask, too scared to show your face. For all | know, you could be an imposter, a con artist. I'm sure we don’t look alike. You say we're identical, but that has to be a lie.] The other side seemed enraged, sending an angry emoji.
[Do you think Leopold will treat you as a brother? That's just a sugar-coated trap. He and Aurelia must be laughing at how naive you are behind your back.]
