The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 1054

Kane laid out a thick, colorful playmat on the living room floor, and William gently placed little Nova right in the middle. The tgathered around, ready for a fun play session.

William handed Nova a teething ring, knowing her tiny teeth were just starting to cin and needed something to gnaw on.

Nova nibbled on her teething ring with cute, muffled crunches before suddenly offering it to William, wanting to share her treat.

William burst into laughter, waving his hands in playful refusal, "Oh, I'm all done with teething, Nova. That's all yours." Nova seemed to understand, responding with her version of baby talk that only she could translate.

Kane opened a storybook and said, "Nova, how about I tell you a story?" Then he began, "Once upon a time, there was a little dolphin who lived with her mommy in the blissful blue waters of the ocean.

Their hwas so beautiful, with crystal-clear waves and frothy white foam. But one day, a wicked and vile country dumped toxic waste into the sea, poisoning their underwater paradise. The water turned murky, the waves were laced with hazardous chemicals, and the fish fell ill. The little dolphin's mommy got sick too, and in a daring move, the little dolphin swam as fast as she could to the Temple of the Sea God, pleading for help for the innocent creatures of the deep. Enraged by the atrocity, the Sea God unleashed a mighty tsunami, and the ancient volcanoes erupted with fury. Both hellfire and raging waters devoured the vile country, sinking the evildoers to the ocean floor to face eternal damnation." "Justice served. Nature will always punish those who do wrong, erasing them off the map," William clapped his hands joyfully.

Nova, watching William, giggled and clapped her tiny hands together in agreement.

In the foyer, Aurelia pulled out her smartphone, "Arnold, have you seen the latest designs from Lisa's fashion studio?" "Nope," Arnold shrugged, not particularly interested in fashion or Lisa's affairs.

"They're stunning, especially this evening gown. I'm thinking of commissioning Lisa to make one forfor the next gala," Aurelia mused.

Lisa offered a reserved smile, "Then I'll set this design aside for you." Arnold glanced at the dress. It was wild and bold, a departure from Aurelia's usual style.

"Since when did you switch things up?" he teased.

She chuckled, "Well, I'm twenty-five now, a mature woman. I can't always go for the sweet girl look. Sometimes, I need to dial up the glamour and turn heads." Arnold laughed softly, "You look great no matter the style." Aurelia beamed, "If we're talking looks, Lisa's the epitof perfection, and her features are just flawless." Lisa sighed inwardly, “Of what use were my looks if they weren't enough to win Arnold's affection?” Arnold offered a diplomatic response, "You two have such distinct styles, and there's no comparing." Aurelia's smile turned sly, "Lisa's stuis planning an ad campaign. Would you shoot it for her? You're an unrivaled photographer, and your touch would make the campaign explosive." Arnold was speechless. He really didn't want any more entanglements with Lisa.

"I've got a packed schedule. Might not have the time." Aurelia shot Lisa a glance. Since the divorce, Arnold hadn't visited Lisa and Nova. The chances for Lisa to see Arnold were virtually non-existent.

Feelings could only grow if they spent ttogether. If they never met, Lisa didn't stand a chance.

She needed to create more opportunities for Lisa.

"The lead for the ad campaign is Avery. You haven't shot him since four years ago, right? He's been hoping you'd shoot him again.

If you're truly tied up..." Before she could finish, Arnold cut in, "I'll make tfor it."
