NovelEnglishLeopold thought, “I was overthinking it. William was just William, son of Arnold, not my Liam.”
Even if William were Liam reincarnated, he was no longer the Liam of old.
A nameless despondency washed over Leopold like relentless waves, ebbing and flowing in his heart.
He had an intuition that there was ssecret between William and Kane. If William wasn't Liam, then what was their secret?
At that moment, William was in Aurelia’s room.
“Mommy, Uncle Leopold really sneaked into my room and pulled out my hair. Good thing | was clever enough to wear a wig, or |
would have been toast.”
Aurelia pressed her hand to her forehead. Honestly, for a second, she wished Leopold would uncover the secret so she wouldn't
have to keep playing both sides.

Leopold must have been so disappointed when he saw the paternity test results.
Would he hold a grudge against her and never forgive her?
"William, | think you should prepare yourself mentally. That day is bound to come. Look at Leopold. Every the mentions Liam,
he gets so sad. On Liam's death anniversary and his birthday, Leopold visits his grave and even offers handmade toys for him. But
Leopold never knew that the grave doesn't hold his Liam, but an unidentified child. Don't you think Leopold is pitiable?"
William lowered his gaze, his thick lashes casting a shadow. “Mommy, don’t you want to have a baby sister? Just go ahead and
have one, then Uncle Leopold won't fuss overanymore.”
Aurelia wrapped her arms around his shoulders, “No matter how many children | have, none can replace you. No matter how much
tpasses, Leopold will still miss Liam.”
William pouted, “I was kidnapped by the bad guys as soon as | was born. Uncle Leopold never even saw my face. How could he
care aboutso much?”
Aurelia replied softly, “But you are still his son. Every the sees Kane, he'll be reminded of you.”
William blinked, “Mommy, Daddy said he'll be back in a few days, and then we can go back to his house at night, no need to stay
here.”
Aurelia knew he was deliberately avoiding the topic and sighed internally.
She realized unless Leopold discovered the secret on his own, William was not going to accept him.
After Leopold returned, he called Skyler to take a walk by the lakeside. Skyler probably knew the most about William and Kane's
secret.
“Skyler, don’t you think William and Kane have been acting weird lately?”
Skyler raised an eyebrow, “Weird? How?”
Leopold spoke casually, “On the day Kane went to meet his online friend, didn’t you find William strange? Like a Kane wearing a

Skyler secretly stuck out his tongue. It seemed Leopold had also stumbled upon Kane and William's secret.
But he had promised William to keep their secret safe.
“] didn’t notice anything. Why would you think that?”
Leopold said, “Because | heard Chirpy calling him 'Kane' and not 'William".”
Skyler struggled to maintain his composure and chuckled.
“Chirpy was just playing a role-playing gwith William. William asked Chirpy to treat him like Kane. Do you think that day it was
Kane disguised as William, do you? How could that be? That's too fantastical. Are you suggesting Kane donned a skin mask to
becWilliam, and then William put on another to becKane?”
Shaking his head, Skyler added, “Impossible. | have the eyes of a hawk. If they had swapped places, | would have been able to
tell.”
