Arnold chuckled, brushing off the comment as nothing more than child's play.
"Sounds spooky, we better watch out then."
Mira pointed to a little red dot at the center of her forehead.
"Auntie Aurelia put this sticker on us for good luck. It's like a superpower charm. Now no ghosts will
dare come near us."
Arnold ruffled her hair affectionately, "Auntie Aurelia always knows best. No need to be scared then.
I've got some Christmas presents for you guys. We'll open them when we get back to the hotel."
Afterward, they hit up a local diner for a hearty meal, followed by a trip to the fairytale park.
It was Christmas Day, and there was a parade with floats.
The kids were over the moon.
"Wow, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!"
"And there's Shrek with his lovable Donkey."
Nova too was delighted, waving her tiny hands and giggling with joy.
The kids spent the whole afternoon playing in the fairytale park, and then they dashed back to the
hotel, buzzing with excitement to open their presents.
Leopold arrived, having finished his work, he flew directly by helicopter.
Aurelia was feeling the early strains of pregnancy, a bit dizzy and weak, so she rested in bed.
Leopold stroked her hair with a tender touch, "Tired, huh? Just rest up tonight, I'll take the kids to see
the fireworks show."
Aurelia moaned softly, "Pregnancy is such a hassle. I swear this is the last time."
"Alright, no more babies," Leopold agreed, not that he had planned for more. Kane was enough for
them. This had been an unexpected surprise due to a lapse in caution.
Aurelia rolled her eyes at him, "Can you handle nine months of abstinence?" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He choked a little, "You know my dick as well as I do. It only has eyes for you."
Aurelia pulled a face, teasing, "Does it have a brain of its own?"
He jested with a laugh, "My intelligence is quite high, so it's only fair to share some with it."
Aurelia snorted, "It doesn't need smarts, just self-control."
He lay down beside her, wrapping his arms gently around her, resting his chin in the crook of her
shoulder.
"Don't worry. I have a hundred percent self-control around others. It's just with you that I don't."
The mere sight of her made him yearn for her. Her presence was like a poppy to him, deeply addictive,
impossible to quit.
Aurelia looked at him with mock annoyance. The man sure knew how to flirt.
"You won't have to endure nine months. Once we’re past the first trimester, it'll be fine."
Having a second child meant they didn't need to be as overly cautious.
Men's willpower was notoriously fragile, and her husband was a catch, with a queue of women lined up
from Earth to the moon. She couldn't afford to take it lightly.
In the other room, the children were sharing their Christmas spoils.
Nova's Christmas gift was a singing doll.
She sat next to it, clapping her hands in time with the songs.
Her gaze wandered through the window to something outside, widening her eyes in amazement,
"Wow!"
Crawling hastily to Skyler's side, Nova tugged at his shirt, then pointed outside, "Wow!"
"What's up?" Skyler curiously ran to the window, peering out.
"Nova, what did you see?" William asked.
Nova looked at Skyler, babbling incoherently, trying to convey something.
Nina gasped, "Oh no, not again. Nova didn't see a ghost, did she?"
