Leopold emerged from his room and settled down beside Aurelia, who promptly showed him a text
message from Skyler.
"I'm just worried now that Geoffrey might be masquerading as a servant sneaking around the Stirling
Mansion," she said tinged with concern. "We need to get security on this and make sure everyone
coming in and out of the mansion is thoroughly checked, face and all."
Leopold nodded slightly, pulled out his phone, and dialed security to have them vet every servant in the
mansion. He was confident in the mansion's security system though. Every staff member had to pass
through voice recognition, facial recognition, iris scans, fingerprint checks, and enter a personal code.
Slipping by unnoticed wasn't going to be easy.
Meanwhile, William made his way to the kitchen to check on the evening's menu. They were having
guests over. It was imperative to be a gracious host.
When he returned, he approached Leopold with the earnestness of a seasoned gentleman.
"Uncle Leopold, thanks for looking out for me back at the Stirling Mansion," he started. "Now it's my
turn to host you. I hope you'll enjoy your time here."
At the Stirling Mansion, William was a guest, but here, he was the young master, the prince of his
domain.
Leopold was momentarily taken aback by William's grown-up demeanor. "The Stirling Mansion is your
home, too," Leopold offered.
"No, it's not," William replied, shaking his head vigorously. "The Stirling Mansion is yours and Kane's
home. This is my home. I forgot to tell you I chose to stay with Dad when he and Mommy split."
Aurelia choked on her words, surprised by the news.
Leopold furrowed his brows, "Why didn't you choose to stay with Mommy?"
With a shrug, William said, "Because Mommy remarried and left our house. I don't want to tag along
and be the third wheel."
Leopold was speechless.
"You're not a third wheel," he reassured.
William crossed his arms and pouted, "You say that, but I know you see me as one. You don't like me.
You're always suspecting I have some dark secret."
Leopold was at a loss for words. "Who told you that?"
William replied, "I heard you talking to Mommy on the patio. I heard everything."
Leopold broke into a sweat at the thought of his eavesdropping. "Eavesdropping isn't right." he said.
William stuck his tongue out. "Doesn't matter. Dad's back now. I'll be staying here, not going over to the
Stirling Mansion anymore." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Skyler scratched his head, "But if you don't come over, how are we gonna hang out?"
"Yeah, without you, who's gonna be our quarterback?" Nina chimed in.
Kane tried to clear things up, "William, you must've misunderstood. Dad doesn't see you as a burden.
To him, you're like Liam."
"I'm not part of your family as Liam, am I?" retorted William.
Nina clapped her hands in excitement, "Let's go, William! Let's go play with Nibbles!" New chapter

William scooped up Nova into the stroller and led the group away, confident in his little escape act.
Skyler lagged behind, then turned back to Leopold, "Leopold, you don't dislike William, do you?"
Leopold sighed, "I never disliked him. He's just too sensitive."
"That's good to hear!" Skyler grinned. "William's so smart and likable. We all adore him."
