The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 681

"Lady Tanya, I bet you can’t garden as well as Skyler. He's got a real green thumb, you know. Even the professors at the agricultural college ask him for advice," William said earnestly.

Tanya's lips curled into a wry smile. "I don't expect much. Just a cozy home is all I need."

She seemed so kind and understanding, and it was an entirely reasonable desire.

Isn't it a universal wish for mothers to see their sons settle down, find a loving partner, and start a family?

Skyler pulled a funny face. "Aunt Tanya, you should worry more... about my cousin, not me. I'm having a blast every day." With that, he grabbed William to play a game.

"Let's play charades. If you lose, you gulp down some apple juice. Win, and you get a bite of the roast lamb leg."

"Deal," William nodded eagerly.

They each drew a card and began to play, and after a while, they both burst into laughter.

Sierra watched the boys with timid curiosity and inched closer. "Can I play with you guys?"

Skyler waved her off. "We're not ready to play with you just yet."

Sierra's eyes drooped in disappointment.

Seeing her sad puppy-dog look, William chimed in, "Skyler, let her join in. The more the merrier."

Skyler pouted. "Brace yourself. She can’t be more clueless at games."

Despite his disdainful expression, Sierra's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Aurelia handed Skyler the freshly washed strawberries.

"Skyler, Sierra is visiting Elysium for the first time. She's a guest, and you're the host now. You should be hospitable," she said gently.

Scratching his head, Skyler conceded, "Alright, I'll listen to Aurelia and let her play for a bit."
