The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1198

Leopold cast a sidelong glance at Skyler, his gaze piercing and profound. "Skyler, you have a Ph.D. in psychology, so you should know that when people lie, their eyes tend to look up and to the right. The movement of the eyes reflects brain activity. When the brain is constructing a sound or an image, in other words, when someone is lying, the eyes move in an upward right direction. If people are trying to recall something that actually happened, they'll look up and to the left. When you were talking just now, your eyes went up to the right."

Skyler was dumbfounded and was hearing his words thrown back at him. Had Leopold started studying psychology too?

He quickly hung his head, his index fingers touching as he adopted a look of wounded innocence.

"Leopold, that trick is just for grown-ups but doesn’t work on kids. I'm still a child, and children's thoughts are full of fantasy. Even when we're talking about real events, our eyes might drift right."

Leopold clapped him on the shoulder. "Skyler, have I been good to you?"

"Yeah," Skyler nodded.

Leopold continued, "We're like brothers and should be honest with each other, no secrets, no lies. If you lie to me, I'll be hurt."

Skyler scratched his head, torn about what to do. Alas, knowing too many secrets could be such a hassle.

"Leopold, I promised William and Kane that I wouldn't tell. It's a secret I have to keep for them. If I spill the beans, they'll get mad and won't play with me anymore." With that, Skyler bolted away.

Leopold darkened his eyes as if a cloud had passed over them. There was indeed a secret between William and Kane. He had to find out what it was.

The kids had set up a tent in the backyard, pretending to camp.

Skyler came running over, out of breath. "Kane, William, I was nearly scared to death just now."

"What happened?" William asked quickly.
