The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 698

“If Skyler's got a split personality, I'd bet my last dollar it's because of Tanya," Aurelia voiced out, her tone a mix of frustration and worry.., “She's been pushing him to the edge, making him do things he never wanted to, till his mind just shattered. Skyler's a softie at heart and loves the simple life, chill and peaceful. But Tanya's been trying to craft him into some cold-blooded hitman. No wonder Skyler's cracking up.”

Aurelia had nothing but awe for Tanya's act. She could pass for the gentlest of ladies, with her kind words and warm smile, hiding the iron fist beneath the velvet glove. It was hard to connect her to the ruthless queen bee of some criminal organization.

Meanwhile, William scored big at the claw machine, grinning as he snagged not one, but two plush toys, one for Skyler, and another for Sierra.

“William, you're a claw machine wizard.” Sierra cheered, clearly impressed.

“I've got mad skills,” he boasted with a cocky raise of his eyebrows.

Not too far ahead, they spotted a vintage clothing store.

Aurelia tugged Sierra along, eager to step inside. She always had a thing for retro fashion.

“Sierra, let's each pick out a vintage dress. How about we go out tomorrow all dressed up?”

“Wow, they're gorgeous,” Sierra said, her eyes wide with wonder. This was her first time in a store like this, a change from the usual boutiques and thrift shops she frequented.

Aurelia was drawn to a red dress, while Sierra chose a pleated skirt.

When they stepped out, all dolled up and hair done, Skyler let out a low whistle. “Angel, you look stunning, like a nymph straight out of ancient times.”

“And what about Sierra?” Aurelia asked with a smile.

Skyler chuckled, covering his mouth, “Sierra looks amazing too. She's got that exotic beauty, like the princesses you see on TV.”

Sierra, being from abroad, wore the vintage dress with a unique charm that was all her own.

Leopold's gaze lingered on Aurelia.
