William shrugged, a wistful look in his eyes, "I do like hanging out with you guys, but I miss my dad
sometimes, you know?"
"Don't you visit your dad's place often? Just like Nina and Mira do. They must miss their mom, too. But
look at them, adjusting well and having a blast every day. Their mom's back in showbiz, filming again,
no time to take care of them. So, they're staying here for a while longer."
William let out a sigh, "Adults are such a hassle. One minute they're into this, the next they're into that.
Marrying, divorcing, can't make up their minds. Our simple little world gets all muddled up because of
them."
Skyler nodded in agreement, "That's why I don't wanna grow up. I just wanna stay a carefree kid
forever." He took a sip of his hot chocolate, then popped a cherry into his mouth.
William made a face, "I kinda do wanna grow up, though. Because when I am grown up, and I will get
the power to protect myself and my family."
As they chatted, Skyler's phone buzzed with a new text message.
[Dear Skyler, living the life, aren't you? Sipping hot chocolate and munching on cherries.]
Skyler jolted, frowning deeply. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
That annoying Geoffrey was spying on him again. How did he always manage to do that?
He stood up, scanning the surroundings.
The yard was empty, except for Raines up on the balcony, sipping coffee and flipping through a
magazine.
[I was having a good time until you buzzed in, now not so much.]
Geoffrey replied swiftly, [Dear Skyler, I'll always keep an eye on you. We're brothers, inseparable
forever.]
Skyler puffed his cheeks out. Geoffrey was such a pain, haunting him like a specter, ruining his
carefree, happy days.
He was surely jealous of him, jealous that he got to spend holidays with the Stirling family, envious of
the fun he had every day.
He bet Geoffrey had no one to spend the holidays with, probably sitting all alone in a gloomy room,
staring at the walls.
[I'm having a blast here, lots of people to hang with. Holidays should be lively. Bet you're all by yourself,
right? Poor thing.]
An angry emoji popped up on Skyler's screen.
[I couldn't care less about some stupid holiday. We Eastwood Heights folks don't bother with that. If it
weren't for you, I wouldn't be alone. If mom were here, I wouldn't be alone.]
Skyler scoffed.
[Why don't you go to the island and keep Auntie Tanya company? She must be lonely. She'd be over
the moon to see you. You two could live there, just like Robinson Crusoe.]
[You're talking nonsense. Who wants to live on a deserted island? I'll rescue Mom, and then we'll see
who teaches whom a lesson, you traitor.]
Skyler snorted, [I'm a good kid, not like you baddies. I've cut ties with you all.]
Geoffrey sent a bomb emoji.
Skyler grabbed a handful of cherries, pacing back and forth in the yard.
He was dying to figure out how Geoffrey was keeping tabs on him. New chapter avаilable oո

Did he invent some new-fangled gadget? Did he even have the smarts for that?
Meanwhile, on the island, Tanya was bored out of her skull.
