NovelOnlineChapter 608 Aurelia felt sleepy as she lounged in her room, thinking of a quick nap to recharge. But as she drifted on the edge of sleep, a presence slipped beside her, jolting her awake. She turned to find Leopold's strikingly handsome face inches from hers.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out that Yuna had let him in.
"Mr. Leopold, sneaking into my room isn't gentlemanly, is it?" His lips curled into a wicked grin. "Who's sneaking? | walked in as bold as brass." Humph! Aurelia rolled her eyes in anger. "If Megan catches us, she'll be green with envy." “Let her have her green-eyed monster. We've got our feast right here.” And with that, Leopold's hand boldly ventured beneath the hem of her nightgown.
Her face flushed with alarm, and she grabbed his wandering hand. “William will be back any minute” "He's off playing in Skyler's room. Won't be back till dinner’ Leopold countered smoothly, rolling over to pin her beneath him.
He hadn't slept a wink the previous night atop the hill, thinking of her. She owed him some physical comfort.

Aurelia felt a tinge of frustration. She'd been miffed with him, determined not to yield to his touch, and yet, in the end, she'd been all too compliant.
It was evident that his good looks had scrambled her brains.
“Just don't leave any love bites on my neck. If Megan spots them later, she'll go ballistic.” He chuckled darkly. “Don't worry. From now on, I'll only leave marks where the others can't see.” "You dirty jerk,” she muttered affectionately, shooting him a glare. She started to suspect he was getting too fond of their little secret rendezvous.
She had no intention of becoming his secret lover.
"Do you think Geoffrey could have followed us to the island?" she deftly changed the subject.
He rose and poured two glasses of red wine, handing one to her. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Just make sure you stay safe. That's all.” “And you better keep Kane safe,’ Aurelia's main worry was Kane.
"I will’ Leopold stroked her hair affectionately. Kane was their son, and he'd protect him at all costs.
Meanwhile, William and Skyler were video chatting with Kane in another room.
“Kane, what are you up to?” William asked, licking a lollipop.
"I'm reading. Got a class soon; Kane replied.

Kane smirked. "Dad said he would take me on a trip next time.
Skyler carried Orchid out and introduced it to Kane. “This is Orchid. She's our... a good friend of mine and William's." "Hi, Orchid. You're in bloom, looking beautiful” Kane waved.
Skyler's face lit up. He appreciated kids who talked to Orchid just like him.
“William, | can tell your brother is smart, too." William raised an eyebrow, grinning. “Of course, how else could he be my brother?" Kane showed off his DIY Al robot, Marz, which could converse fluently, follow commands, and perform simple tasks like R2-D2 from Star Wars.
William gaped as Marz sliced fruit. “Wow, you've upgraded Captain Mars to be so awesome." Kane dreamed of becoming the best Al engineer and creating his own Al empire.
Skyler watched with interest. "William, do you look much like Kane?" “We're brothers, so we've got some similarities, William chuckled. "You and Geoffrey look alike, too, right?" Skyler nodded. "Geoffrey, like you, wears a mask wherever he goes." “When | grow up, | won't need one anymore. Did Geoffrey also start to wear a mask when he was little? Does he have social anxiety?" William asked seriously.
