The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1142

She was babbling away.

“Must have something to do with Uncle Skyler,” William suggested, “Otherwise she wouldn’t keep staring at him.”

Aurelia and Leopold exchanged a glance. Something was definitely off.

“We should have cameras downstairs,” Leopold said with gravity. “I’ll have someone check with security. We'll get the footage and see what’s up.”

“Cameras can capture ghosts,” Nina chimed in, her voice tinged with the thrill of a horror movie fan. “That’s what they show in the movies.”

“Ghosts? Are we onto ghosts again?” The excited voice belonged to Beverley who had just finished her skincare routine and had come over to play with the kids. Her ears had perked up at the mention of specters.

“Aunt Beverley, Nova’s seeing ghosts again,” Mira relayed the day’s spooky events at a painfully slow pace.

Beverley clicked her tongue in amazement. “Wow, our little Nova’s got a special gift, huh? Could she be one of those with the legendary sixth sense?”

“But you said babies can see ghosts without any sixth sense,” Nina pointed out.

“Well, if she’s got the sixth sense, she’ll be seeing ghosts even when she grows up,” Beverley explained.

Skyler piped up, “I’ve got it! Babies can see ghosts easily because their brainwaves are weaker, making them more likely to bump into a ghost’s frequency.”

“That could be,” Beverley nodded, pondering the idea. “But what exactly did Nova see?”

“It’s a ghost related to Uncle Skyler,” Nina said. “Can ghosts talk to babies?”

“Mhm,” Beverley nodded. “Ghosts can communicate with any living thing, plants and animals included.”

“The ghost must have told Nova something, wanting her to pass a message to Uncle Skyler,” Mira’s imagination was running wild.

Skyler’s gears were turning too. He said, “Could it be my old pets? They were all brutally killed by some maniac who’s still out there, free as a bird, never caught by the cops. Maybe they want to tell me who it was, so I can avenge them?”

“That’s a possibility,” Beverley agreed.

William pulled a face. “Uncle Skyler, weren’t all your pets back at Eastwood Heights? Could their spirits have crossed the ocean to Elysium?”
