In the villa, Skyler was tinkering with the robot Adam Five, a gift from Kane.
Aurelia had brought him a batch of homemade cranberry cookies she'd baked herself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Angel, can we take a vacation this weekend?" Skyler inquired eagerly "How about we head to the Stirling family's country estate, Mossy Rock Retreat. Would you like that?" Skyler clapped his hands with joy, "Absolutely, that sounds awesome!" Getting him a glass of milk, his favorite treat with the cookies. Aurelia watched as he dipped a cookie and took a satisfying bite, "Delicious. If only William was here too, it would be great. Shhe's got to accompany Nellie to that TV show recording today. | kinda worry when William grows up, he might end up with a ton of girlfriends, just like Geoffrey." Aurelia nearly choked on her breath. There was no way William would inherit Chad's playboy genes, not if she had anything to say about it, and she'd make sure of that.
"Skyler, does Geoffrey really have that many girlfriends?" "Yes," Skyler responded, his voice muffled by the cookie in his mouth, "He's got loads, and he sleep with them." He covered his eyes with his hands. "Super embarrassing. Not for kids." Aurelia gasped, her mind racing with concern. It seemed Geoffrey had indeed inherited Chad's infamous traits, as well as Tanya's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"He must've picked all the lousy genes," she thought.
"But isn't Geoffrey ill? How can he be up to all that stuff?" Taking another cookie, Skyler dunked it in his milk before replying in a slow, analytical tone. "Well, from a psychological perspective, | reckon Geoffrey's got a sex addiction. It's like a compulsion. Just like being hooked on drugs. Can't kick the habit." Aurelia couldn't help but think that Chad even on his deathbed couldn't resist a fling with a pretty nurse.
"Does he have any kids, then?" Skyler paused, considering, "Dunno. Never seen any kids around him. Could he have kids?" Aurelia figured he must have kids unless he was sterile. He probably kept them hidden, secretly raising them somewhere. Maybe one of his women was pregnant alongside Megan, and after Megan had her baby, they'd pull a switcheroo, swapping the babies in secret. Babies all look similar enough, so who would notice? They were deep in this discussion when Tanya arrived.
Aurelia signaled Skyler to be quiet and snuck upstairs, peeking around the corner to eavesdrop.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSkyler covered his mouth to hide his giggles, loving the thrill of their spying game.
He settled on the couch, grabbing a textbook to feign studiousness as Tanya walked in.
"How's the studying going?" she asked nonchalantly.
He shrugged, "I've memorized everything in the book." Tanya sat beside him, "Skyler, | heard that the guy pretending to be Geoffrey and deceiving you has been caught by the Stirling family. You should really stop bringing up Geoffrey. He's just a figment of your imagination, a brother you made up. If you want people to treat you normally, don't wear your fantasies on your sleeve because it scares the others." "And what about the drugs you give me, makingsleep and takingplaces? Who are the people you makemeet?" Skyler confronted her.
Tanya's lips twitched, a sign of her unease. His memory was supposed to be wiped, and how could he remember? "The medication is for your treatment. | haven't taken you anywhere. You're just hallucinating." Skyler stared at her, an eerie smile creeping across his lips, "Auntie Tanya, you seem puzzled. Wondering how | could possibly remember all these things?"
