Chapter 680

William snapped a few photos of them, and Skyler quickly tugged him away.

"William, don't be too nice to... strange girls in case she... turns into a clinger and sticks to us. That would be a drag,” Skyler warned.

Making a goofy face, William replied, “Skyler, even though she’s Aunt Tanya's assistant, she seems sweet. She doesn't look like a bad girl.”

Skyler stomped his foot. “I don't like playing with girls"

William's eyes twinkled as he blinked. “Skyler, girls can be sweet, too. My mom is a girl, you know. Skyler pouted. “Aurelia is an angel who came down from heaven, not any regular girls”

William crossed his arms and sighed like a grown-up.

“I want to introduce you to my friend Nellie. She's smart and cute, a star in the making.”

Skyler put his hands on his hips and looked down at him sternly. “When you grow up, are you gonna... start dating girls and not hang out with me?"

William tiptoed and patted his shoulder. “Relax, Skyler. I'll never choose chicks over bros. You'll always be my number one"

That brought a big smile to Skyler. “Skyler and William are gonna be best buddies for life"

Just then, Sierra ran over. "Can I be friends with you guys, too?"

“No way,’ Skyler said, shaking his head like a bobblehead. “There can only be one best friend” Sierra's eyes dropped, her long lashes casting shadows on her pale lids.

“Sorry to bother you."

William was always a charmer and knew how to be kind.

He tugged at Skyler's sleeve. “Skyler, you can only have only one best friend and can also make other friends. But they gotta pass the test of friendship"

"What test?” Sierra asked eagerly.

“We'll tell you when we figure it out; William said. “When we want to hang out just us two, you can't butt in. If there's a game for everyone, you can join us."

“Right,” Skyler nodded vigorously.

"Okay" Sierra bit her lip. She was a young girl who had just turned eighteen and never had a boyfriend. Skyler was a bit odd, but he was handsome, even more so than the stars on TV.

Aurelia came over and took them to pick strawberries.

Each holding a little basket, they joyfully plucked berries in the fields.

Afterward, they gathered around the picnic table.

William and Skyler loved picnics the most.

Aurelia had prepared roast lamb leg, braised beef, and vegetable salad.

And there was a special rice pudding for Tanya.

“Let's dig in.” Skyler said, serving a lamb leg to William and taking one for himself.

Tanya playfully told him off, "Do you like Elysium only because you can indulge yourself without anyone to reign you in?"

Skyler shrank a bit. With Tanya around, he knew he could not have fun.

"Anyway, I like... like Elysium. William said I can stay... stay here forever and don't have to return to Eastwood Heights."

Tanya frowned slightly. “Leopold is busy. He can't take you out every week, and you can't loaf around. You should do something meaningful, right?"

Leopold spoke firmly, “Skyler takes care of plants at home, and that's meaningful. His flowers bloom better than anyone's. Each one of those precious species is worth a fortune. Aunt Tanya, Skyler is an adult with the right to choose his life. To live content with little is to possess much.”

“Right,” Skyler nodded eagerly. Only the people here acknowledged and praised him. Back in Eastwood Heights, everyone treated him like a fool.
