NovelEnglishSkyler held up three fingers. "I'm the big cheese. You're my right hand, and he can only be... the third banana." "Yep!" William grinned, flashing a set of pearly whites. "Right, he’s the third banana." The bodyguard brought breakfast to them, who had decided to dine in the comfort of their room that morning.
Holding a steaming mug of hot chocolate, William sipped it and said, "I didn’t expect a hypnotist hiding out on this cruise ship. Whether he's Geoffrey or not, he's bound to stir up more trouble if we can't smoke him out. And that means our fun's over for the next few days." "We must find him then," Skyler mumbled through a mouthful of sandwich.
"How do we do that?" William raised an eyebrow, asking.
Skyler pondered for a moment. "Who did Thomas want to kill before?" "Lana." "That guy will probably... try to finish what he hasn't yet," Skyler analyzed.

William pouted. "Why do they wanna help that wicked Megan?" Skyler replied, "They could be... birds of a feather, you know? Like you always say, 'Birds of a feather flock together." William puffed up his cheeks. "No wonder Geoffrey wanted you to whip up the antidote for that old ugly Megan.
They're in cahoots. I've gotta let Uncle Leopold know." "Leopold probably knew it already. That's why he decided to... to cut ties with Megan," Skyler sighed, a cloud of relief in his voice. "Good thing I'm just a kid. Won't have to worry about marrying some she-devil and being done for." He paused, slinging an arm around William's shoulder. "When you grow up, don’t fool around with any girl. Gotta avoid the bad apples." William made a face. "As if I'd be that dumb." Aurelia lay sprawled on the bed, utterly spent, having not expected that what started as two rounds would double in the heat of the moment.
Leopold leaned against the bedpost with a look of satisfaction.
A woman's body was a marvel, an addiction he couldn't kick.
Yuna brought in their meal.
He carved a slice of steak and offered it to her. She had satisfied him, and it was his turn to feed her.
Aurelia rolled her eyes at him. "You're so bold, hanging around my room this long. If someone finds out, all that acting will have been for nothing." He shrugged. "No one will know unless Arnold shows up, right?" Aurelia sat up and quickly dressed. "You should leave now." His brows knitted together. "What, are you afraid that Arnold will find out?" She pouted. "It's not about Arnold. | don't want to be the center of a scandal again. | plan on making my life care-free, you know." Her words hit home, leaving Leopold with no retort. He stood up and dressed.
"I'm out. Enjoy your meal." Then he left, feeling irked. Damn the AK Group, making him sneak around with his wife as if it were an affair.
But their smugness wouldn't last much longer. Leopold had cast his net wide and waited to reel in the big fish.

Meanwhile, Arnold was in his room on the phone with Lisa, who was on the brink of giving birth and had checked into the maternity ward.
Once the baby was a month old, he would arrange for Lisa and the baby to join him in Elysium and proceed with the divorce.
After lunch, Aurelia headed to the deck, where Arnold joined her.
"Lisa's due any day now. Once the baby's born, | can get the divorce." Aurelia sighed inwardly. She had always found Lisa decent despite her dubious methods. It was all because of her profound love for Arnold.
"Arnold," she said gently, "maybe you should wait until the baby's a bit older before you divorce. Lisa agreed to divorce you out of love. She was willing to let go, but it doesn't mean she won't be heartbroken. Women can be vulnerable to postpartum depression because of hormonal changes after childbirth. You'd better wait until the baby is past the suckling period. It's good for her and the baby."
