The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)

Chapter 1252

William sighed, the weight of his young world pressing down on his shoulders, "But I'm still just a kid,

growing up feels like a million miles away."

Skyler, always the voice of reason, chimed in, "Think of it this way, your mom's new hubby is your

Uncle Leopold, so you're all still family. It's not like you've been split apart. Now, if she married some

dude who had nothing to do with your dad, that would be scary."

"Well, that's a silver lining, I suppose," William muttered, his lips curling into a smirk. He knew that

Leopold was more than just an uncle, and Leopold was his biological father. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Why don't you like Leopold?" Skyler prodded gently, "He's a good guy and he's always nice to you."

William replied, "Because I have my own dad, and if I start liking him, my dad will be hurt."

Skyler exhaled a long sigh. Arnold and Leopold were like two rams locking horns, both vying for

Angel's affection. If William started treating Leopold like his dad, Arnold would definitely not be thrilled.

"It's a tricky situation," Skyler pondered, "Maybe just hang out with Leopold when Arnold isn't around.

And when he is, you stay on his team."

"No way," William shook his head, "I don't want to play those games."

Scratching his head in confusion, Skyler said, "So, what are we gonna do?"

William shrugged nonchalantly, "I don’t know."

"But, William, even if you're doing it for your dad, you can't stop them from having more kids," Skyler

pointed out, "They've only got Kane, and they'll probably want a whole bunch more. I've got three

brothers and a sister, you know."

William pouted, "Why does a family need that many kids anyway?"

"Because Angel loves little ones," Skyler explained, "If Kane didn't want any siblings, maybe they'd

consider his feelings. But you, you're not their kid."

William kicked at the pebbles under his feet, frustration bubbling up inside him. He was their child, too.

"I always knew it, and I'm just the odd one out. Kids from split homes always get the short end of the

stick."

Skyler blinked, lowering his voice, "I heard Angel and Arnold never got married. So technically, you're

not from a broken home."

William choked on his words. Nominally, he was a bastard.

"To me, my mom and dad are married. They just never got a piece of paper to prove it. They've lived as

husband and wife. We were happy, joyful, content until Uncle Leopold messed it all up."

Skyler's thoughts were in disarray. Logically, it was Arnold who had disrupted Leopold's marriage since

Angel had always been Leopold's wife.

"Leopold loves Angel. He had to win her back, and she likes him too."

"My mom loves my dad more," William asserted.

Skyler didn't see it that way, and he thought Angel preferred Leopold.

William hung his head low, "You'd worry just like me if you were in my shoes." New chapter avаilable

Scratching his head, Skyler confessed, "My situation's way more complicated than yours, and you

know it."
