Chapter 1298 (End)
Several months had passed, and the time had come to celebrate the christening of Lisbeth and Raines'
baby boy with a quaint garden party.
After Elfreda's confinement, her mental health took a hit, and her depression worsened. She spent her
days recovering in a peaceful sanitarium.
Raines wasn't quite ready to forgive Lisbeth's betrayal, but the sight of his son's cherubic face in the
cradle melted his heart. He yearned to give his boy a stable home, not wanting his son to grow up
rootless, barely seeing his father as he had.
Finally, William dropped his facade, revealing a face identical to Kane's, leaving everyone in the room
agape.
Now, Mira and Nina's favourite way to pass the time was guessing who was who.
"The one on the left is William; the right is Kane."
"No way, the right one's William, and Kane's on the left."
Their playful bickering was a joy to witness.
Skyler strolled over, a smile hidden behind his hand. He could tell William from Kane in a heartbeat, but
he kept mum, the very picture of a gentleman.
Aurelia was also expecting, her belly as round as a watermelon.
Leopold was extremely attentive to Aurelia, guiding her with gentle hands. "Take it easy, darling." he
said.
Aurelia had upped her exercise regime slightly, hoping to ease the delivery. She was determined to
avoid a C-section if possible.
After the christening bash, she checked into the hospital to await the birth.
One morning after breakfast, a sharp pain gripped her, and she whimpered, Leopold instantly wrapped
his arms around her, "What's wrong?"
"I think it's time." Her voice was calm, seasoned with the experience of a second-time mother.
Leopold, however, couldn't keep his cool and was immediately tense, having been abroad for the birth
of their first child.
Seeing her husband's face tight with worry, Aurelia patted his shoulder reassuringly.
"It's alright. Childbirth is painful, but I'm doing well. We'll be fine."
"I'm staying with you," he insisted, determined to be by her side this time.
When the doctor arrived, they wheeled Aurelia into the delivery room.
Hours later, she gave birth to healthy twins, a boy, and a girl, finally fulfilling her wish for a daughter. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Exhausted, she fell into a deep sleep, only waking the next day with Leopold faithfully by her side.
"You've done wonderfully, my love."
The children all came to visit the newborns. Nova, peering into the crib with wide eyes, glanced at
herself and grinned, "I'm a big sister now."
She was no longer the baby of the family, and there were two new boys and a little sister.
The Stirling family was busy planning Aurelia and Leopold's wedding.
Leopold had not forgotten his debt, a proper wedding for Aurelia.
The kids were excited to draw lots for the role of ring bearers, and even Skyler wanted in, though he
was far too grown-up for the part.
But Leopold had a better role for him, an usher.
Skyler was over the moon, jumping and dancing with joy, "I'm an usher."
Being an usher was an important job, after all, especially since he'd be responsible for the wedding
bands.
The ceremony was set on a serene beach.
A red carpet, sprinkled with rose petals, stretched for meters.
Aurelia, in a pure white gown, walked slowly towards her dashing groom. Mira and William, the day's
flower children, followed behind baskets in hand. Nina and Kane were entrusted with the train of the
dress.
Leopold's eyes followed her every step, his gaze locked on her as if she was the only one in his world.
Avery was seated across the way, his mood soured upon discovering Leah's secret that she was a
Heninger, Skyler's sister.
Leah sneaked glances at him. "Avery, please forgive me."
"You little fibber," he grumbled, pretending to be too cross to appease.
"If you don't forgive me, I'll have to return to Eastwood Heights with my folks, and you'll never see me
again," Leah said with a pout.
"Okay," Leah stuck out her tongue playfully.
After heartfelt toasts from friends and family, the couple exchanged rings.
"The groom may now kiss the bride."
Leopold's lips met his beloved's, a vow of a lifetime together, till death do them part.
"I love you, Aurelia."
"I love you, too, Leopold."
