The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 555

Aurelia served Skyler some roasted chicken and got him a bowl of soup.

"Skyler, eat up. When you're done, let's head out to the Rose Garden to check out the peonies, okay?"

"Okay," Skyler nodded, his voice soft.

He couldn't handle spicy food, not even a hint of it, so Aurelia had made sure to order mild dishes for him.

"Angel, I talked to Daddy, and I want to stay in Elysium a bit longer to play. He agreed. He said that when Grandma hits her 90th birthday bash, Jessica and Leopold will bring me and Leah back with them."

Aurelia chuckled, "Well then, as soon as I get some free time, I'll join Leopold in taking you out for some fun, how's that?"

"Great!" Skyler beamed a toothy grin, his eyes sparkling with innocence as untouched as the waters of a secret mountain spring.

Leopold deftly peeled a shrimp and placed it on Aurelia's plate.

Seeing this, Skyler tried to do the same, wanting to peel shrimp for Aurelia so she would like him even more. But he had never peeled shrimp before, and it was always the nanny who did it for him. Accidentally, he poked his finger and winced, blowing on it to ease the sting.

Aurelia quickly pulled out a band-aid and patched him up.

"Skyler, shrimp can be tricky to peel. Let me do it for you."

Skyler sighed with a hint of disappointment, "I haven't got it yet, but when I do, I'll peel them for you to eat."

Knowing his intentions, Aurelia smiled, "Thank you, Skyler, but you should just enjoy your meal. Don't worry about me. I'm your angel, and I can manage just fine."

Hearing this, Skyler gestured to Leopold, "Leopold, she can eat, on her own, she doesn't...doesn’t need your help."

Leopold was speechless.

A family of four approached a nearby table.
