I'm an outsider, and this is all | can do for you. You must seize this time and show Arnold who you are. You've done some things that upset him, but | know you're a good person deep down. You still have a chance if you can change how he sees you. | want Arnold to be happy, and | believe you can be the woman who makes that happen.” “Aurelia...” Lisa was stunned, her heart quivering.
“Are you thinking about getting back with Leopold?” Aurelia shrugged with a faint smile. “Who knows what the future holds? We'll see.” Lisa looked at her, filled with guilt and regret.
She had thought Aurelia was a girl with a harmless face but a cunning heart. But then she realized Aurelia’s true nature was genuine kindness and forgiveness, which was why two extraordinary men were so devoted to her.
“Aurelia, | wish you happiness, too.” William stood by the crib, curiously peering down at his baby sister.

She was as beautiful as a doll. She had chubby little cheeks, big bright eyes, and long lashes like butterfly wings.
“Nova, I'm your big brother, William. I'll always protect you. No one's going to mess with you.” After hearing William's voice, Nova reached up with her little hand, and William gently took it.
Aurelia watched the siblings and smiled knowingly.
Her son had already switched on his protective big brother mode.
“Dads turn into softies with daughters, and | bet Arnold will become one, too.” She thought of Leopold, who also longed for a daughter. She would gladly give him another child if they could reconcile.
Lisa sighed softly. “I don’t know if he’ll take to Nova. He didn’t even hold her when he came.” Aurelia comforted her, “How could he not like his child? Look at Nova. She's the spitting image of Arnold. With those eyes, that nose, and the lips, she’s like his mini-me.” In Lisa's eyes, Arnold was more fond of William, the child of the woman he loved.
“I hope Arnold visits Nova often.” Aurelia stroked William's hair and said, “William, make sure Daddy brings you to visit your baby sister often.” “Okay,” William nodded, understanding his mommy's hint to keep Daddy coming to see Lisa and his baby sister.
“Can we take baby sister home with us?” “You see, she’s too little and needs her milk. She can’t leave her mommy just yet. Maybe when she’s bigger and weaned,” Aurelia explained.
“Okay, | guess.” William watched Nova yawn and ready for sleep and gently patted her hand.

“Sleep tight, Nova. Big brother's right here to protect you.” He had been worried that his baby sister would steal Daddy’s love from him, but he wanted to shower her with affection with Daddy.
Nova, quiet and content, quickly fell asleep.
Aurelia called Arnold to let him know they were with Lisa, seeing the baby.
Soon after, Arnold arrived.
“Daddy, isn't baby sister pretty? | like her,” William beamed.
Arnold tenderly touched his head. “It’s great that you like your baby sister.” William pulled a face. “Megan, that mean woman, is having a baby, too. Neither Kane nor | will like her baby.” “William,” Aurelia wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “no matter what the adults have done wrong, children are innocent. We can’t take our anger out on a child because of their parents’ mistakes, okay?” “But she poisoned Kane, trying to kill him. Isn't Kane innocent, too?” William argued with fervor, his sense of justice riled up.
