Chapter 622 "Yeah. You are Kane's father, after all.” Aurelia stated in a tone so casual, it was as if she was commenting on the weather.
It disappointed him, "Is that all I am to you?" She shrugged, “What else? You're Megan's husband now. If we didn't have a kid, I wouldn't have to worry about you at all. It wouldn't be any of my business" A hint of hurt flickered in his eyes. Her emotional balance never seemed to tip even slightly more in his favor.
“Heartless woman; he muttered under his breath.
She let out a mocking laugh, “All the women who do well in this world are heartless. Being love-struck only invites disaster.” Leopold felt helpless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBetween them lay a chasm, a mist that kept them from truly connecting.
It was all because of that damn Megan. If not for her, Aurelia wouldn't be so distant from him.
In a sudden move, he bowed his head and captured her lips in a desperate kiss, trying to coax even a spark of passion from her.
Only in these moments of pleasure could he find some comfort.
The next day after work, Aurelia took William over to Skyler's place.
He was in the backyard, tending to his garden.
“William, look, these are the flowers Orchid that | planted.” "That's fantastic. Soon this yard will be a beautiful garden” Aurelia said with a beaming smile, holding a tray of snacks.
After washing his hands, Skyler joined William in a snack.
Taking a sip of her yogurt, Aurelia mentioned offhandedly, “Skyler, | hear you have a Ph.D. in psychology.” "Yes," he nodded.
Aurelia gave a thumbs up, "Wow, that's impressive. Such a tough subject, and you got your doctorate. You must be a genius" "Mommy, Skyler’s IQ is like, 260; William chimed in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSkyler scratched his head, grinning. He loved the praise from Aurelia.
"Psychology isn't hard, he claimed modestly.
Aurelia handed him a piece of lemon pound cake, “I heard that sleepwalking falls under the umbrella of psychology. Do you think Megan really suffers from it?" “Angel, | can tell from a mile away when someone's mentally unwell. Folks like her are the types most likely to develop sleepwalking,” Skyler said earnestly. “Sleepwalking is a neuropsychiatric disorder, not something that happens during dreams, but during stages 3-4 of deep sleep, typically in the first half of the night, usually within the first 2-3 hours of falling asleep." He continued, "Most people with mental health issues won't admit they're sick. They're very resistant to seeing a psychologist.
Over time, it could even lead to a split personality.” Aurelia could tell, this was definitely Skyler's area of expertise.
“Can hypnosis cause something like sleepwalking?" "Deep hypnosis can result in sleepwalking-like states, but it's no easy feat. It's very difficult. However, hypnosis can be used to treat sleepwalking,’ Skyler explained.
Aurelia laughed, "I've seen movies where hypnotists are super powerful, putting people under anywhere, anytime, even on a timer." William butted in, "Mom, that's just movies." She smiled sheepishly, "I just think it's super cool, like having the world in your hands." “Only the most top-tier hypnotist can reach that level. Someone who can do that, there's probably only one person in the world, Skyler said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"Who?" Aurelia quickly asked.
Skyler leisurely let out a few words, "My brother Geoffrey." Aurelia gasped.
To her, Geoffrey was a phantom figure, often spoken of by Skyler, elusive and almost mystical.
