A youthful voice chimed in from the bushes, "Uncle Leopold, are you guys playing the kiss game again?"
Leopold swiveled his head and spotted Nina. Where did she pop up from this time? She was always appearing out of nowhere.
"Weren't you guys feeding the fish by the pond? How did you end up here all by yourself?"
"All the fish are full." Nina pulled a funny face.
Kane and Mira also scampered over from not far away.
"Nina, Mira, let's go back and have some pastries. Let's not disturb Mom and Dad." Kane was quite sensible for his age.
Nina turned her big eyes and asked, "Uncle Leopold, you get babies from playing the kiss game, right?"
Leopold choked a bit, "Just go back and have some pastries."
Nina stuck out her tongue and led her siblings towards the garden exit.
"Playing the kiss game does make babies. Kane. Your mom is going to have a baby. Do you want a brother or a sister?"
"A sister," Kane replied without missing a beat, already having a brother.
"Then I hope you get a little sister." Nina laughed.
Aurelia overheard their conversation from not far away and was speechless. She shot Leopold a glaring look before walking away. Leopold was left a bit helpless, but he did want a daughter, preferably like Aurelia.
The family feast had been prepared.
Aurelia sat with Kane by Leopold's side, while Arnold was seated diagonally across from her.
Sheryl arranged for Lisa to sit next to him, "Arnold, affection can be cultivated. Be nicer to Lisa."
Arnold shot Lisa a disgusted look and coldly said, "My lawyer has already drafted the divorce papers. I will divorce Lisa tomorrow."
