The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 445

Arnold scooped up his son, presenting him with a present.

Jolin quickly dashed out from the kitchen, there seemed to be too many "sons-in-law" today.

Avery cracked a strange smile. His mom was sighing just this morning, lamenting the absence of a son-in-law to celebrate the Christmas with. And now, three had shown up all at once.

Elvis stood up, moving closer to Aurelia as if claiming his dominion, announcing that Aurelia was now his.

A shadow of menace flashed in Leopold's eyes - his territory would not be breached so easily.

Arnold felt a huge threat. If only that wretched Lisa would agree to divorce, he wouldn't be in such a passive position, helplessly watching Aurelia being snatched away by another man.

A potent scent of rivalry subtly pervaded the air.

Jolin, keenly noticing the tension, hastily tried to ease the atmosphere. "Arnold, Leopold, I didn't expect both of you to come today. I'm cooking right now. It's Elvis' first time at our place, I want him to try some of my dishes."

She took Kane from Aurelia's arms, putting him down. "Kane, take William upstairs to play. Grandpa will be back soon." Zack had gone to the flower market with the Hawthorne family elders.

Kane held William's hand as they went upstairs. Instead of entering a room, they hid around the corner of the staircase to spy.

"This Mr. Cooper might be mom's new boyfriend, and he could end up being our stepfather," whispered William.

Kane's small hand tightened its grip on the railing. "I don't want a stepfather."

William pouted. "Neither do I, it's all your dad's fault. Your dad is Henry VIII."

Kane turned his head, giving him a puzzled look. "Who's Henry VIII?"

William didn't know either. He'd heard it from his uncle.

"You should Google it, I bet he's a bad guy."
