The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 780

Aurelia heaved an internal sigh of relief.

If something had truly happened to Leopold, the only people she and Kane could rely on were Jessica and Arnold.

At noon, Arnold took it upon himself to whip up a hearty lunch.

William ate until his tummy was round and full, declaring that Arnold's cooking was his absolute favorite.

Afterward, they headed out to the backyard for a game of baseball.

Chirpy fluttered about in the air. It seemed to turn into a cheerleader every time William played baseball.

"Go William, hit that homerun, homerun!"

William was over the moon, and it had been ages since the three of them played baseball together. It felt like a throwback to their time in Goldstone.

"Mommy, I wish we could be together like this every day," he said.

Arnold shared that wish, ready to do anything to have Aurelia return to his side for good.

Aurelia smiled and gently stroked William's hair, "Daddy and Mommy have to work, sweetie. We can't play every day, but we'll make the most of our weekends."

William pulled a face, feeling like Aurelia missed his point. He longed for the complete family they had back in Goldstone. Now, he was part of a single-parent household.

Deep down, Aurelia understood what William wanted, but she and Arnold would not marry. The days in Goldstone were gone for good.

Arnold prepared some afternoon tea.

After enjoying the tea with William and Arnold, Aurelia left. Once in her car, she pulled out a disguise mask and headed to Leopold's mansion.

Leopold was busy with work in his study.

"Care for some cheesecake? Arnold made it, and it's delicious. I brought some for Kane," she said with a smile.

Leopold's brows furrowed at the mention of Arnold.

"No wonder you're so late. It's almost dark."

Aurelia's tone was casual as she replied, "I went to see William. I've been staying at the Stirling Mansion with Kane, and William's been with Arnold."

Just thinking about her with Arnold soured Leopold's mood.

"You should spend more time here with me." He complained.
