The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 635

William blinked, and a glint of slyness twinkled in his eye, "But whether Uncle Avery sees Leah as a sister or a girlfriend, that's his secret. He's a celebrity. He can't date anyone he likes. Even if he's head over heels, he can't just blurt it out."

Before William could finish his sentence, Avery choked on his orange juice, almost spewing it across the table.

"You're just a three-year-old kid, so what do you know? Focus on your food."

Saying this, Avery shoved a piece of steak into William's mouth, effectively silencing his shocking revelations.

Shrugging, William sighed dramatically, "Even though I'm only three, having witnessed Mommy's two divorces, I've got more life experience than most kids my age."

At the dinner table, Aurelia, Leopold, and Arnold all choked on their food.

Aurelia massaged her forehead. Although she had only been married and divorced once, in William's eyes, she and Arnold might as well have been husband and wife, especially during those years they spent living together as a couple in Goldstone.

The most profound impact of a broken family was always on the children.

She longed to give her child a whole and happy home. But many things in life, including Leopold's heart, were beyond her control.

"William," she said, her voice heavy with emotion, "I'm sorry for the way my issues have affected you. But Daddy, Uncle Leo, and I all love you so much. Whatever choices we make in life, our love for you will never change."

William made a goofy face, his playful nature shining through, "I'm okay, really. It's Kane who's got it rough. He's got a wicked stepmom, worse than the Evil Queen in Snow White."

Leopold promised, "She won't get anywhere near Kane."

Knowing that Aurelia's greatest concern was for Kane, his Achilles' heel was Aurelia, while hers was their son.

Neither could afford to give their enemies that kind of leverage.

William pouted, "Megan wants to have a baby boy to replace Kane as the heir, but I know she's got a little sister in her belly."

Arnold gently patted his head, "How do you know it's a little sister?"
