Who knows when you'll grow tired of me, and start finding fault. I'd rather not follow in your mother's footsteps." Leopold said firmly, "After we renew our vows, | get a vasectomy. Then you'll have nothing to worry about." Aurelia choked, "Are you joking?" His lips curved into a serious line as he stared at her intently, "I'm dead serious. I'd do anything to put your mind at ease." Hearing his words, she felt a stampede of turmoil.
"| still want to have a daughter. If you go through with that, | might have to find someone else." Leopold captured her chin, planting a soft kiss on her lips, "Then we'll wait until after our daughter is born for that." He had longed for a daughter for ages.
Aurelia shot him a coy glance, "Let's talk about that later. If your playboy genes start acting up, then you can consider the vasectomy." "Alright, then let's work on making that daughter now," Leopold said with a mischievous smile, and in one swift motion, he pinned her beneath him.

In the morning, Leopold whipped up a hearty beef stew for Aurelia and Kane.
The three of them sat at the dining table, a picture of harmony.
Kane sported a charming grin and thought, "Last night, inspired and spurred on by me, Dad must have made up with Mom." "Dad, Mom, it's been a while since we've all eaten together. It really feels like family," he said.
Leopold tousled Kane's hair, "We are a family." Kane thought silently to himself, "But in William's heart, Uncle Arnold is his dad." "I hope you guys have more kids." Kane said.
Leopold agreed, "Your mom and | have already discussed having a little sister." "Then she'll be the third baby," Kane stated.
Leopold was taken aback, "Why the third baby?" "Because William is the second," Kane replied earnestly.
Before he finished, Aurelia nearly choked on her milk, which she hastily swallowed to avoid spilling any secrets.
Eager to steer Kane away from a slip of the tongue, she quickly added, "Whether the baby is the third or not doesn't matter. What's key is it has to be a girl." She already had two sons, and another would be superfluous. A daughter was a rarity and a mother's treasure.
Leopold's heart clenched at the thought of Liam, a taboo subject in their family.

But Aurelia seemed calmer than he'd anticipated, focused on planning for their daughter.
Sipping her milk, Aurelia smiled, "You haven't met Nova yet, have you? She's so cute, with rosy cheeks, big eyes, and long eyelashes, just like a little cherub in a painting." Kane murmured, "William is also happy to have a little sister. He didn't want a little brother, and neither did I.
William is the only brother | need." He was referring to Megan's child.
Aurelia understood Kane's sentiment and stroked his head tenderly. Kane was sensible yet clear about his affections and grievances.
Good deeds were repaid with kindness, and malice with disdain.
Megan had tried to poison him to make her own son the heir to the Stirling family. Naturally, he could never accept her son.
