The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1189

The only thing he could do was to stay cooped up in his room.

Otherwise, Chirpy would definitely tell he wasn't the real William.

Animals had a much sharper sense of perception than humans.

Leopold knocked on the door.

"William, you still sleeping?"

"Uh, yeah, I want to catch a few more sleeps. Not really in the mood to hang out."

Leopold was worried, thinking maybe William had a fever, and started fishing for his keys to unlock the door.

Kane heard the jingle of keys and his heart skipped a beat. He bolted out of bed to open the door.

"Uncle Leopold, I'm good, just a bit groggy."

Leopold touched his forehead, checking for a fever. It was normal, which was a relief.

"Did you take your vitamin C?"

"Yeah, I did." He nodded.

Skyler came bounding over, "William, Chirpy’s here!"

Chirpy soared straight into the room, landing on his favorite perch.

"William, William, William..."

Kane was at his wits' end, flopping back onto the bed and pulling up the covers.

Parrots had incredibly sensitive hearing and usually recognized humans by voices.

Even though Kane and William were nearly identical twins and their voices were alike, there were subtle differences, perceptible only to those with the keenest of ears.

"Chirpy, I'll play with you later, okay?"

Chirpy cocked his head, staring at him with those little eyes, making Kane's skin crawl. "What's up... what's up..."

Kane thudded his heart. ‘Chirpy is onto me. He knows I'm Kane, not William.’

"Kane... Kane..."

Kane was at a loss for words. "Kane's out with Mom and they went to have some fun."

Nina and Mira came scampering in after. "Haha, Chirpy is looking for Kane."
