Chapter 1262
Aurelia let out a sigh of frustration, "William, this is where Arnold's heart is. He's not going back to
Goldstone. Besides, he has gonna settle down someday, get hitched, start a new life with someone. He
can't keep living like this."
Hearing this, William's heart sank even more, feeling like an orphan left in the cold, unloved and alone.
Aurelia pulled him into a warm embrace, "Come on now, honey. Let's not cry. Mommy will help you
sneak your hair out."
Meanwhile, Kane had found Leopold. He was lounging in the parlor, sipping on coffee, engrossed in
the latest issue of the "Business Weekly."
"Dad." Kane dashed over, taking a seat beside Leopold.
"Why aren't you out playing with the others?" Leopold asked with a gentle smile.
"They're all grabbing a bite, so I thought I'd come hang with you," Kane replied.
Leopold handed him a pastry, "Have a little snack, too."
Kane blinked, a hint of mischief flickering in his eyes.
"I think I'll go for some fruit."
He picked up an orange, peeled it and popped a segment into his mouth. After finishing, he cleaned his
hands with a napkin. Then, mimicking William's way of sweet-talking Arnold, he snuggled up to Leopold NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
and slid his tiny hands into his pockets.
"Dad, my hands are a bit chilly from the orange. Can I warm them up in your pockets?"
"Sure." Leopold chuckled, seemingly oblivious to Kane's little ploy.
Kane's hands fumbled around the empty pockets. William had said he saw Leopold slip a sealed bag
with hair into his pocket.
Could Leopold have already stashed William's hair away? He withdrew his hands.
"Dad, I think I'll head up to my room for a bit."
"Okay," Leopold said, stroking Kane's hair affectionately. In his mind, Kane was the sweetest, most
understanding.
After leaving the parlor, Kane bolted upstairs to Leopold's study. If Leopold was hiding something, it
would definitely be in there. He rifled through the desk drawers one by one, but found nothing. Then he
moved to search the bookshelves.
At that moment, the study door creaked open. Startled, he quickly ducked behind a chair.
It was Aurelia who entered, also in search of the hair.
Kane stood up, relieved, “Mom, are you looking for William’s hair too?”
Aurelia nodded, “Sweetheart, any luck?”
“No,” Kane shook his head, "Not in Dad's pockets either. Where could he have put it? Maybe in your
room?"
Aurelia was flustered.
Leopold always had a trick up his sleeve.
She couldn't just ask him outright, and that would raise suspicions.
"Let's check the room."
"Mom, what if we can't find William's hair? He's going to be so upset. He cried his eyes out earlier, they
were all red."
"Your dad probably guessed I'd come looking, so he hid it well. He wouldn't leave it somewhere

"Maybe we should check the security footage, see where Dad's been. It might give us a clue," Kane
suggested.
They settled into the security room, going through the footage one screen at a time.
"Your dad's been quite the busy bee, wandering all over the place."
