"We’ve done that," Aurelia said with a smile, "The kids were itching to see you, so I hitched up the
wagon and brought them over."
Skyler chimed in, "Arnold, you gotta stop jetting off to those dangerous places to get your shots. If you
get hurt, William's gonna be a mess."
"It was just a freak accident," Arnold said, his mind drifting to that day he had been teaching Aurelia to
rock climb in the wild, how he lost focus and slipped, bashing into the rocks below.
Aurelia softened her voice, "Every time you head off to some risky place, William and I are worry sick.
You used to be a free bird, no ties. But now, you're a dad. You gotta think safety first."
Those words wrapped around Arnold's heart like a warm blanket. Because she cared. Because she
was thinking of him.
Once, he was a lone wolf without a care. Now, there were people who cared about him, which changed
everything.
"I'll hang up my adventurer's hat," he promised.
Lisa emerged from the kitchen, cradling a pot of homemade nutritious soup she had learned to brew
from Aurelia.
Lisa knew Arnold had a soft spot for Aurelia's soup. By mirroring her recipe, Arnold couldn't resist.
Aurelia gave a thumbs-up, "That soup smells like heaven."
Arnold glanced at Lisa, "You've got your life, no need to play nurse here."
A hint of disappointment flickered across Lisa.
Aurelia interjected, "Arnold, even though you two split up, you can still be friends. With the holidays
around the corner and Lisa's studio closed, why not let her and Nova stay? Nova would love to spend
time with her dad. How happy she is here!"
Arnold, gazing at his daughter, let out a sigh, no further arguments offered.
His daughter was indeed a treasure.
Just yesterday, she had climbed beside his bed, blowing gently on his leg, mimicking her brother.
Aurelia nudged Lisa to serve the soup.
Mira, tugging cautiously at Aurelia's sleeve, piped up, "Auntie Aurelia, can I have some soup too?" Her
voice was a mere whisper, but Nina heard it and her world turned upside down.
"Hey, you little foodie, aren't you being a bit much? That's Uncle Arnold's special soup."
Mira scrunched her nose, "Just a little taste?" Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Nina, hands on hips, glared fiercely, "No way, that's for Uncle Arnold's recovery."
Arnold chuckled, "There's enough to feed an army. Everyone can have some."
Mira stuck out her tongue at Nina, "See, Uncle Arnold said I could."
Once Lisa served the soup, Aurelia dished out a bowl for Mira.
Mira shrugged, "Well, if dad doesn't come home, we can. Why should she only make it for him?"
"You don't get it, do you? Mom wants to make soup for dad because he's her husband. Just like Auntie
Lisa makes soup for Uncle Arnold, and Auntie Aurelia for Uncle Leopold," Nina explained. Updated at

"Auntie Aurelia made soup for Uncle Arnold because she's his ex-wife. They were married," Nina
stated recklessly.
Aurelia was speechless and embarrassed. When had she and Arnold ever been married?
Mira looked incredulously at both Aurelia and Arnold, "Were Auntie Aurelia and Uncle Arnold married?
How come I never knew?"
