Chapter 1194
It was their secret code, a playful ritual between William and his pet parakeet, Chirpy. Whenever he
called out the name thrice, Chirpy would cheerfully repeat it back to him.
With a curious tilt of its head, Chirpy eyed William and let out a series of chuckles, mimicking human
laughter and thinking it was all part of their game.
Spreading its wings, Chirpy perched upon William's shoulder. "Kane, Kane, Kane," it chirped
affectionately.
"Good bird," William said, stroking its chin, Chirpy's favorite spot, before rewarding it with a small treat.
Chirpy nuzzled William's cheek with its little head, a gesture of pure joy.
Even though William had donned a mask earlier, Chirpy had quickly recognized him by his voice, not
his face. That was how the clever bird distinguished people.
William's older brother, Kane, picked up on the secret code and addressed Chirpy, "Chirpy, I'm William,
I'm William, I'm William."
Chirpy burst into another fit of giggles and sang back, "William, William, William," flying over to land in
front of Kane.
Kane gave a thumbs-up. "You're awesome, Chirpy." And he too handed it a little treat.
Chirpy, head held high, started to hop around in a little dance, chirping, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how
I wonder what you are..." Chirpy loved to play games.
From the corner of the room, Leopold observed the scene with deep eyes that shimmered mysteriously
under the light.
Skyler was watching too. He noticed how Chirpy affectionately rubbed its head against ‘Kane’, an
intimate act it reserved only for William, Angel, and Arnold, recognizing them as its owners. Chirpy
didn't show the same affection to others.
Today, though, Chirpy was getting cozy with Kane but not with William, which was quite peculiar.
Had Kane been signaling something by repeating his name?
When Chirpy finished its little song, Skyler decided to test the waters, saying, "Chirpy, I'm Optimus All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Prime, I'm Optimus Prime, I'm Optimus Prime."
Chirpy approached him, "Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime."
"Way to go, Chirpy," Skyler grinned, confirming his suspicion.
William and Kane exchanged nervous glances, realizing Skyler was onto their little secret.
Leopold darkened his eyes further as if stained by the night itself.
He handed Chirpy a marble, instructing, "Chirpy, give this to William."
Chirpy took the marble and looked back and forth between William and Kane, clearly confused.
Finally, it flew to Kane and dropped the marble in his hand. "William, William, William."
"Thanks," Kane said, petting Chirpy's head.
Aurelia clutched her belly, "Honey, I'm feeling a bit off. I think I overdid it today. Could you help me back
to our room?"
Leopold shifted his expression. In one swift motion, he lifted her in his arms and left the room.
Seizing the moment, William and Kane darted into the bathroom.
"I think Skyler is onto us. He's got your secret figured out. He's a psychologist, and it's tough to get
anything past him," Kane replied. Coոtent оf Draмaոovеls.cом
"We'll have to deal with them later," William sighed.
She shook her head, replying, "No, lying down for a bit should help."
