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

Chapter 1263

Kane jotted down all the locations in his steel-trap mind, the kind that never forgot anything he saw.

"Alright, Mom, let's keep looking. We've got to find William's hair, or he's going to have a lousy holiday."

William had been in tears, begging to go to Arnold's place and retrieve his beloved Goldstone. He was

genuinely worried that by tomorrow, he'd be packing his bags and running back to Arnold's, never to

return.

Indeed, William had started packing his little suitcase, and he was set on heading to Arnold's house,

away from the frightening Leopold.

Aurelia and Kane had been searching for hours with no luck in finding the hidden item. Aurelia was

getting frustrated, "Where on earth did Leopold hide William's hair?" she thought, her patience wearing

thin.

Just then, Mira came running in, panting, "Aunt Aurelia, it's not good. William's packing his bags, and

he's saying he's going to Uncle Arnold's house."

Aurelia and Kane rushed to William's room. William was packing and silently crying, the picture of

misery. Skyler was alongside, trying to comfort him, "William, stay and play a few more days, buddy.

Winter break's almost over, and school's starting soon. You won't have time to play then."

Aurelia approached and wrapped her arms around William, "Skyler, can you give us a moment? I'll talk

to him."

"Sure." Skyler nodded and left the room.

Aurelia closed the door behind her. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Mommy, Kane, did you find my hair?" William asked eagerly.

"Not yet," Kane replied.

At that, William's bottom lip quivered, and he burst into tears again. "I want to go to Daddy's house."

Aurelia grabbed a tissue and dabbed at his tears, "Stop crying, or you'll ruin the masquerade."

Hearing that, William's sobs ceased abruptly, "I don't want to be in this masquerade anymore. I hate

Uncle Leopold, and he's a big meanie."

"William," Aurelia's voice turned stern, "he's your father, and you shouldn't talk about him like that."

"He's not my dad. I have my own daddy," William retorted, his frustration clear. This year was certainly

ruined for him.

Aurelia sighed, "William, you need to learn to accept reality. You're a smart kid, and you should learn to

adapt to changes."

"Why should I adapt? I had my own home, and I was happy, and it's all because of you. You made me

leave Goldstone, leave my home and my friends. You're all selfish." William accused, his voice full of

emotion.

Aurelia was speechless. This was all Leopold's mess, couldn't she just have a peaceful holiday?

"You stay put right here, and don't you dare go anywhere. Otherwise, I'll reveal the truth right now, and

have you identify your real family lineage. That'll save us from dragging this out and making it messier."

Her words carried an undeniable force, and it was the first time William had seen Aurelia so fiery. He

hung his head low and bit his lip, not daring to speak further.

Aurelia left the room, determined to confront the instigator of all this drama.

Leopold was still in the parlor, leisurely sipping his coffee.

When Aurelia walked in, she was holding back a wave of frustration.

"William's packing to go to Arnold's, for heaven's sake. Why are you picking on him during the

holidays?"

Leopold frowned slightly, "I haven't done anything to him." Content of Drаmąոovels.cоm

Leopold's voice deepened, "It seems to me you're more upset than he is. What are you worried about?"
