NovelOnlineChapter 632 Skyler perked up, the grin returning to his face, "You're right, being an adult has its perks. If anyone dares to mess with you or Angel, I'll give them a knuckle sandwich.” He put on a fierce look and clenched his fists, swinging thern through the air as if he were the toughest kid on the block.
William couldn't help but giggle. In his eyes, Daddy, Uncle Leo and Skyler were the strongest heroes in the world.
After the kissing scene wrapped up, Aurelia and Arnold stepped out with William and Skyler in tow.
Aurelia stumbled on a loose stone, her body tilting to the side, almost going down for the count, but Arnold, quick as a cat, caught her in his arms.
"You okay?" “I'm fine, thanks." She flashed a grateful smile.
From a distance, a pair of eyes caught the exchange, brows furrowing in a sudden frown.

With Arnold, she was all smiles, but with him, it was nothing but cold stares.
"| didn't know you'd be here, Leopold, Aurelia said, her voice shaking slightly upon noticing him.
Leopold's eyes flickered with anger. Did she think him an unwelcome intrusion on her time with Arnold? “You wish | hadn't come?" “Not at all.” Aurelia shrugged, suggesting his busy schedule hardly warranted a trip out there.
Arnold was sad. It was clear he was protective of Aurelia, wary of leaving them alone.
If only he hadn't played the gentleman back in the day, Aurelia would have been his woman, and they might have had their own kids by now, and Leopold would not have had a chance to mend broken bridges.
Leopold was more cunning by far, always wanting the best of both worlds.
"I've already made reservations at the restaurant. Since you're here, join us." Leopold would much rather take Aurelia away, but that was out of the question.
After all, she was no longer his wife, and he had no claim over her.
Skyler leaned down to whisper to William, "I smell a showdown brewing between your dad and Leopold?" William pulled a face, "Don't worry, they're brothers. No punches thrown, just a fair fight." “And who do you think will win?" Skyler asked, his curiosity piqued.
“I don't know." William stuck out his tongue. Of course, he hoped Arnold would win, but even if Leopold came out on top, he wouldn't have a stepdad.
At the restaurant, Leopold and Arnold took their seats flanking Aurelia, with sparks flying between them like a silent duel.
William climbed onto Arnold's lap, eager to share his latest adventures.
"Daddy, Skyler and | did the coolest science experiment.” Arnold caressed his hair affectionately, "Just remember, safety first. Kids shouldn't play with dangerous chemicals." "Okay: William nodded obediently.

Seeing Leopold, Avery's mouth quirked into a sly grin, "Well, my ex-brother-in-law is here." Leopold was used to this. In Avery's heart, Arnold was always his sister's husband - a benchmark that Leopold just couldn't live up to.
Leah gave Skyler a look, a silent warning to keep her secret safe.
Skyler nodded, his memory was flawless, and he wouldn't let a single detail slip.
Aurelia took a sip of her juice and smiled, "William, Skyler, how about a trip to the movie studio this afternoon?" William wrapped his arms around Arnold's neck, "Mommy, | wanna go to Daddy's room first. He said he's got a present for me." He was dying to find out what treasure Daddy had brought him.
“Sure.” Aurelia chuckled.
Looks like this afternoon, William would be glued to Arnold, not needing Aurelia much.
Arnold pecked William's cheek, "Let's check out the present, and then we can go have fun." "Yep!" William bobbed his head eagerly, ready for the adventure that awaited them.
