The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 1278

Mira suddenly waved her small paws around and gave Kane's face a vigorous rub.

Warm and soft, it was definitely the real Kane. Who had she seen just moments ago? Could it be a ghost?

A little imp impersonating Kane?

Were there ghosts at Mossy Rock Retreat?

Kane caught her tiny paws, "Mira, what are you doing?"

Mira shivered, "Kane, I think I just saw a ghost."

Kane burst into laughter, "You must be seeing things. How could there be ghosts at Mossy Rock Retreat?"

As he spoke, he saw Beverley walking over. She was bored of scrolling through videos and came to play with the kids.

"Why is it so dark in here? Why'd you guys dim the lights like that?"

"Beverley, we're playing a scary game of hide and seek," Kane explained.

Beverley was immediately intrigued, "How scary?"

"You might see a ghost," Mira said with a trembling voice.

"That sounds like fun, count me in." Beverley loved thrilling games.

"William is hiding, and we need to find him," Kane said.

At that moment, Skyler and Nina, who had also been searching for William, came out of the room, "Haven't you guys found William yet? Where could he be hiding?"

Mira huddled her shoulders and wrapped her arms around herself, "What if a ghost took him?"

Beverley ruffled her hair, "You've got quite the imagination, kiddo. Let's keep looking, and he's got to be in some nook or cranny."

She took charge like a true leader, delegating search areas to everyone since several rooms remained unchecked.

Skyler and Nina took Nova to the rooms on the left. Beverley headed to the rooms on the right, and Mira, too scared to keep searching, decided to go downstairs for a snack.

What was going on? Her eyes widened, her heart skipped a beat, and when she turned back to the window, the child in the corner had vanished, as if he had never been there.

A shiver coursed down her spine, causing her skin to erupt in goosebumps.

"Kane, is that you?" she asked.

"It's me, Beverley, what's wrong?" the boy at the door asked.

Beverley swallowed hard, her throat tight with fear. This was too creepy. She bolted out, "Haven't you guys found William yet?"

"No," Kane shook his head.

She pinched his cheek, feeling the warmth of life, definitely human. She was now worried about William, "Okay, that's enough, and let's stop playing."

She raised her voice, "William, come out now, and we can't find you. You win."

Skyler and Nina, hearing the call, ran over from their room, "What's the matter, Beverley? Why stop? We haven't found William yet."
