Chapter 327

When Aurelia rushed back to her apartment, Arnold was already home, cradling William in his arms, gently massaging his stomach.

“Feeling better?”

“Just a little.” William was over the moon. He had both his mom and dad by his side.

Aurelia heaved a sigh of relief, and gently pinched his chubby cheek, “Less ice cream in winter, okay?”

“Okay.” William stuck out his tongue and said, “When are we going back to Goldstone?” He was worried about his mom here. It felt dangerous like she could be taken away at any moment. Arnold shared his son's sentiments. The longer Aurelia stayed here, the more he worried.

Aurelia had something to discuss with Arnold, “I've been doing nothing at home. I'm thinking about returning to Astral Enterprises. If you agree...” Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Leopold looked at his son and couldn't help but think of his own childhood. He, too, had longed for paternal love and attention. But no matter how well he did, his father's

attention was always on Arnold.

Every birthday, Arnold would receive carefully chosen gifts from their father. Leopold's birthdays, however, were always forgotten.

His father made him swear on his deathbed never to harm Arnold. It was as if among all his children, only Arnold was his own, and the others were all dispensable.

He picked up a piece of pancake and tasted it, “It's good. Mom would have loved it. Let's take today’s batch to Granny and Laura.”

“Okay.” Kane nodded.

Back in his room, he called William on his smartwatch.

William woke up from a dream, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

“What's up, Kane?” He wasn't trying to take Mom away, was he?

Kane asked, “William, is your stomach ache better?”

William replied, “No, it's still hurting.”

Kane said with concern, “Then rest and take your medicine. I made pancakes. When you're feeling better, I'll have Mom bring some for you.”

“Okay.” After hanging up, William felt guilty. Had he done something wrong? Kane was mom's child too. He needed her as well. If only they could live together. That way, they wouldn't have to worry about losing mom.
