The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 634

Avery stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair, "What are you getting all sentimental about? You've never even been on a date."

Leah gave an awkward chuckle, "I haven't dated, but I've read plenty of novels."

Leopold was a living example.

Skyler shook his head, letting out a sigh. "Adult life sure is complicated. Being a kid is way better."

He was glad he hadn't grown up. Otherwise, he'd have to deal with dating, marriage, and maybe even divorce. Too much hassle, too much trouble.

Leah glanced at Skyler and thought that his never growing up might not be such a bad thing. He was always happy without a single worry.

Aurelia forced a smile, "Arnold just got back from abroad today. Let's consider this meal a welcome home party. Let's not talk about unhappy things. Let's toast."

With that, she raised her glass of juice. William and Skyler were quick to join in, while Arnold and Leopold exchanged gloomy looks and reluctantly lifted their glasses too.

Skyler took a gulp of his smoothie and grinned, "Let me guess, Leopold and Arnold are both crushing on Angel, and Avery fancies Leah, right?"

Leah's cheeks flushed, "Skyler, my bro, stop talking nonsense."

Avery blinked in surprise, "You know Skyler?"

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Leah quickly covered her mouth, "I didn't mean..."

She tried to explain, but Aurelia cut in, "Around here, Skyler is the big bro, after all. Except for William, we all have to call him brother."

Her casual remark defused the awkward situation for Leah.

Avery was not thinking much of it.

Leah secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That was close, but thank goodness for Aurelia's quick wit.

Skyler scratched his head, mumbling to himself, "Actually, I'm just a kid. I don't want to be an adult big brother."
