Chapter 1734

Aurora stepped into the spacious Bay Residence with her son in tow. The house already buzzed with warmth-Miles and Felicity were chatting on the living room couch, mugs of hot chocolate in hand.

The moment Aurora walked in, Felicity hopped up and hurried over, arms wide open. "There's my handsome Elijah! Come here, let your favorite aunt smother you with kisses!"

Aurora grinned, watching as Felicity scooped Elijah up. "You can still call yourself his aunt, Felicity, but I have a feeling you'll be 'Auntie-in-law' before long."

Felicity blinked in mock surprise, then shot back with a wink, "Hey, nothing's settled till I've signed the dotted line. I'm single as long as my name's not on that marriage license!"

"Single?" Miles blurted from behind her, suddenly all business. "Well, we'll fix that first thing tomorrow. Wedding can wait, but you-well, you're already spoken for."

Aurora giggled, shaking her head. "Felicity, stop teasing my brother. He's serious, you know. You'll give him a heart attack."

The room filled with laughter.

Aurora gently took Elijah back after a moment. Felicity was expecting, after all, and with Elijah still so little and wiggly, Aurora didn't want to risk anything.
