Chapter 310
“Kane, fancy a game of chess? The weather’s great today. Perhaps I could take you out to fly a kite
later?”
Kane remained poker–faced, responding Indifferently, “I have a competition coming up. I don’t have
time for games.”
“Where’s the competition?” Elowen asked, intrigued.
“Sydney.” Kane lied effortlessly. He wouldn’t risk telling her the truth for fear she’d tag along.
Elowen, quick–witted as ever, immediately set to book a flight. “I will definitely bring along a cheer
squad to cheer you on.”
Kane’s attention returned to the chessboard, ignoring her completely.
Elowen pouted, disgruntled. The boy was just like Leopold, both of them as cold as ice, hard to melt.
When she had her own children someday, she’d kick him out of sight.
Leopold was back.
Hearing the butler’s greeting, Elowen hurried downstairs to greet him. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Leopold, you’re back. I came to see Kane, bought him some new toys.”
Leopold’s handsome face was as cold as ice. Ever since Aurelia left, his world had lost all its warmth
and light, filled only with coldness and pain.
He brushed past her without a word, heading upstairs as if she were merely a wisp of air.
The coldness radiating from him froze Elowen’s smile instantly, her disappointment surging like a tide.
But she wasn’t discouraged. After all, he wasn’t just ignoring her, and he was the same with all
women.
She, on the other hand, had an advantage. After all, she had free access to the Stirling mansion, while
other women could hardly catch a glimpse of him.
“Leopold, Aurelia’s gone. You should find a mother for Kane, because child needs a mother.”
“I’ll only marry once, to one woman. Don’t waste your time.” Leopold left those words behind,
disappearing around the corner of the staircase.
Aurelia, alive or dead, would be the only woman he ever married.
If she was truly gone, when Kane grew up and could stand on his own feet, he’d go find her. No matter
where she was, he’d find her, and they’d never be apart again.
In the study, Kane had just solved the most difficult chess puzzle in history, even his tutor

was astounded.
“Mr. Leopold, I’m certain Kane will astound the world at the upcoming international chess
championship.”
Kane remained calm and composed, just like his father. He was born with a poker face, revealing
nothing. “We should keep a low profile, sir.”
Leopold gently patted his son’s head, believing that the younger generation would surpass the older. He was certain Kane would become even stronger than him.
“We’ll head to Hawaii tomorrow. You should get used to the environment and adjust to the time
difference to avoid any discomfort.”
“Alright.” Kane nodded, sitting down on the sofa and picking up A Brief History of Time to read.
After lunch, Arnold and William were busy building a treehouse in the yard.
The treehouse was designed by William himself, which even Aurelia found impressive.
A green and yellow parrot flew over, landing on Arnold’s shoulder. “Mommy made pancakes, mommy
made pancakes!”
William laughed, “Chirpy, are you trying to sneak some?”
“Hehe, hehe.” Chirpy let out an awkward laugh.
William raised a finger to stroke its small head, “Chirpy, you can only eat the pancakes mommy made
for you. You can’t steal ours, or you’ll get a stomachache.”
“Stomachache, scary.” Chirpy buried its head in its wings.
William could smell the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen, licking his lips in anticipation. “Daddy,
mommy’s pancakes are ready. Let’s go eat.”
“Alright, my little foodie.” Arnold chuckled with affection in his eyes.
Aurelia placed the freshly baked pancakes on the dining table, including a special serving for Chirpy.
She and Arnold lived in the small town as a married couple, but they had never consummated their
marriage. Arnold respected her greatly, never once making any inappropriate demands.
Though she was a mother of two, who could’ve imagined that she hasn’t slept with a
man?
