NovelEnglish“When they get rid of you, Skyler would lose his protection in Elysium, falling back under Geoffrey and Tanya's control and becoming their puppet again." A smirk curled up at the corner of Leopold's mouth. "Sending Skyler to Elysium was probably the worst move they've ever made. Tanya's visit must be to try and take him back home." Aurelia huffed, "Skyler's all grown up. He can make his choices now. They can't tell him what to do." She sipped her coffee, pulling out her phone. "Take a look at this picture of your niece Nova. She's adorable." Leopold glanced at the photo before wrapping her in his arms. "I want a daughter, too." She shot him a playful glare. "Well, you'd better find a woman to have one with." His brow furrowed slightly. "Are you serious?" "What do you think?" she teased in reply.
He flicked her forehead with a snap. "You wouldn't be dumb enough to push your husband onto someone else." "Husband?" She looked around mockingly. "Where's my husband? Do | even have one? All I've got is an ex- husband, okay?" Leopold massaged his temples, knowing that some topics were to cause him great pain once brought about.
"Stay with me tonight." "I can't. | must go back to Kane. You can't ignore his feelings because he's a good kid, okay?" Leopold's hair seemed to ruffle in the wind. "Kane would agree that his mom should stay here with his dear dad." Aurelia ignored him, standing to leave, but he pulled her back, flipping her over and pinning her beneath him.
"Be good." With that, his lips descended, capturing her protest in a kiss.
When the big bad wolf issued a command, she had to obey, asking no questions.

The Muse Club was hosting a music bash that Friday.
William and Skyler wanted to go, so Aurelia tagged along with them.
Avery and Leah were also there. Avery's latest movie had just wrapped, and he was taking a few days off.
They had just settled into their seats when a stylish and pretty girl rushed over to greet Avery.
"Hi, I'm Marianne, a huge fan. | never dreamed I'd see you in person here. You look dashing," she gushed, fluttering like a starstruck flower.
William gave her a once-over. "Miss, how come I've never seen you at the club before?" "I just returned from abroad last week and joined the Muse Club," Marianne replied with a flirtatious smile and a twinkle in her eye.
Avery politely acknowledged her greeting.
She didn't seem in any rush to leave, taking a seat beside them, casting covert glances at Avery, radiating fan- girl vibes. It was clear that she was a huge fan.
Marianne sipped her cocktail, then turned her attention to Aurelia. "Aurelia, I'm a fan of yours, too. | love your designs. You're the most creative jewelry designer. I've bought every one of your limited editions." As she spoke, Marianne showed off her necklace, a piece from Astral Enterprises’ latest collection.
Aurelia smiled politely, sensing the girl's eagerness to cozy up to them.
"From your accent, you're not from Elysium, are you?" asked Aurelia.

"I'm from Starfall City, but I'm planning to stay and make my mark in Elysium," Marianne responded with a slight grin.
Just then, Beverley showed up, waving at Aurelia. "Aurelia!" Aurelia's face lit up. She stood and embraced her. "Beverley, what a surprise! When did you get back from Australia?" After her split with Leopold, Beverley had gone down under to study, and it had been six months since they'd last seen each other.
"| came back last week. I've missed you so much, Aurelia!" "I've missed you, too," Aurelia said with a bright smile.
Beverley pointed to Marianne sitting nearby. "Let me introduce you guys. This is Marianne, my classmate from Australia. She's a super fan of you and Avery." Aurelia was stunned, realizing the girl was Beverley's classmate.
"Well, let's all hang together since she's your classmate." Hearing this, Marianne immediately settled at their table, making herself at home without hesitation.
Leah, sitting quietly to one side, pursed her lips, sensing something off about the newcomer.
