The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 679

Chapter 679

William slapped his shoulder, a gesture of camaraderie, "No worries, Skyler.

Just stick with me and steer clear of her, you'll be fine."

Aurelia glanced at Leopold. "Your aunt is coming along?"

Leopold nodded slightly. "Yeah, she and her assistant are in another car. We'll meet them at the highway junction.”

"Can she handle the trip?" Aurelia asked.

Leopold's voice dropped a bit. "She's started on this new targeted medication. Her conditions improved a lot. So, she's holding up pretty well, hot as bad as we thought.”

"That's a relief” Aurelia shrugged, keeping her skepticism about Tanya's illness to herself with Skyler in the car. She'd save her doubts for a private moment.

On the way, William and Skyler were engrossed in a game of Stratego, and soon Skyler was too caught up in the fun to remember his troubles.

After an hour of highway and winding mountain roads, they arrived at Valley Farmstead. Stepping out of the car, Aurelia led her son and casually greeted Tanya with a nod.

Tanya, all smiles, turned to William. “So you're William? Skyler talks about you all the time.

"I'm best buds with Skyler, William said in his childlike tone.

"Aren't you just adorable? I'd love to have a grandson as cute as you,” Tanya chuckled.

Aurelia eyed her secretly. Tanya didn't look like the mastermind behind a shadowy organization but seemed more like a genial lady of high society.

If it weren't for Skyler piecing together her connection to the AK Group, Aurelia would have doubted they had the right person. Tanya must be a master of disguise. Otherwise, the Henniger family would have noticed something amiss.

As they walked into the farmstead, they were greeted by a field of purple lavender, reminiscent of the beauty Aurelia had once seen in Provence.

Skyler and William, hand in hand, dashed into the lavender fields.

Tanya gave Sierra a knowing look, and she scampered after the boys.

"Mr. Skyler, let me take a picture for you guys.”

Okay," Skyler handed over his phone. He hoisted William onto his shoulders, spreading their arms wide, striking a pose as if they were soaring through the sky.

"We're flying now, William!"

"Woohoo, takeoff"

Watching her son, Tanya hadn't seen Skyler this happy in ages. At Elysium, he was like a kite without strings, utterly free. But this wasn't what she wanted.

She didn't need a perpetual and playful old child.

"He's just all about fun. No wonder he doesn't want to go back after getting to Elysium; Tanya mused.

"Skyler's carefree spirit is something many people dream of and can't buy,”

Leopold remarked gravely.

Tanya sighed, “If only he'd settle down, I wouldn't care how much he played around”

Leopold glanced at her sharply, his gaze piercing and profound.

"He'll need someone who won't try to control him, who'll just play with him, make him laugh, and keep him happy. If a woman demands too much and tries to rein him in, she'll scare him off." Tanya fell silent.

For her, she didn't want a woman who could outmaneuver her son. Her son was hers to control, and the role of any woman was merely to ensure the family lineage.

Tanya had picked Sierra carefully, hoping she'd win her son's affection sooner rather than later. Back in the fields, Sierra looked at Skyler with hopeful eyes. "Mr. Skyler, may I take a picture with you?"

William slid off Skyler's shoulders. “I'll snap it for you guys."

Skyler felt awkward. He barely knew Sierra, and here she was, always looking to hang out. Girls could be so bothersome.

He hoped she wouldn't turn into a clingy type like Megan. He couldn't stand Megan, who had ruined all their perfect vacations.
