Chapter 538 Leah shook her head vigorously, "No. Avery is a public figure. If we take a cozy picture, it'll be blown out of proportion by the paparazzi." "Why not just keep it on your phone and not share it?" William suggested earnestly.
Avery seemed nonchalant, “It's alright. It's just a heart gesture. It's something siblings can do too. But, | prefer taking quirky pictures.” With that, he lifted his hand and gently pinched Leah's rosy cheek.
Leah shot him a sidelong glance, returning the favor by pinching his cheek.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWilliam quickly captured the moment. Amid their playful banter, William captured a photo.
Later, they returned to the campsite.
The kids were hungry. Aurelia was frying bacon and eggs over the grill, with Leopold assisting her.
“Anyone who ends up marrying Aurelia is guaranteed a fortunate fate. She's not just proficient at her work, but her cooking is top-notch too, laughed Leah.
Avery shot Leopold a look, “Il wonder who Aurelia will choose, Arnold or Mr. Cooper. Anyway, it doesn't have anything to do with her ex-husband." Leopold caught the sarcasm and replied, "She won't choose either.” Avery curled his lip, "You're already married, so stop meddling with Aurelia’s love life. She needs to remarry eventually." Leopold was uncomfortable, “It's between me and Aurelia, so don't interfere.” Avery huffed, "I'm Aurelia's brother, and no one can mistreat her." To prevent any further arguments, Aurelia quickly said, "We're here to have fun today, so let's not bring up unhappy matters.” Kane chimed in, "Uncle Avery, everyone makes mistakes. It's admirable to admit and correct them. Give my dad a chance to make amends?" As his son, he would always stand by Leopold's side and defend him.
Leopold was sweating, feeling wronged.
Avery bit his lip, swallowing all his words but the unease on his face was evident.
After all the efforts, Leopold finally made Aurelia break up with Arnold. He thought Leopold truly loved Aurelia and would treat her well forever. But after only a few days, he found someone new. Now that he was bored with his wife, so he wanted to go back to Aurelia. Aurelia was not a toy, to be summoned and dismissed at his will.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia finished frying the bacon and eggs, added a couple of cucumber slices, and wrapped them in a sandwich for everyone.
She also made a fruit salad.
“Aurelia’s sandwich is so delicious, Leah exclaimed, taking a big bite.
“My mom's food is always delicious; William said, licking his lips. But he thought, “The best cook, however, was my dad. My dad was a culinary genius.” “There's more,’ Aurelia smiled. She had made plenty for everyone to enjoy.
After finishing his sandwich and taking a sip of milk, William sighed like an mature adult, "I wish my dad was here too. Back in Goldstone, he often took Mam and me on picnics. He always made lots of delicious food. My dad is the most capable in the world" Leopold felt a dark cloud hovering over him, overshadowing the bright sky.
Kane quickly added, "My dad also cooks up a mean beef dish. Mom loves it. He could make it for you too — I bet you'd fall in love with it." Noticing Leopold's gloomy expression, Aurelia quickly changed the subject, ‘How about we play a game later?" "Great!" The children and Leah immediately agreed. They loved playing game.
