“Dad, when will she be done with her work?” Jeremy asked.
Glancing at the time, Norman remarked, “She’ll be busy at least until noon.”
Finished.
Aurelia was always fully committed and focused in everything she did, and moreover, Joseph was in a great hurry for it.
“That long?” Jeremy watched as Aurelia meticulously restored the antique painting. Her serious attitude was so captivating that he couldn’t help but stea
A girl could have easily coasted through life on her looks alone, but she chose instead to rely on her abilities.
A thought occurred to him, and he took out his phone to snap a picture.
Then he told Norman, “Dad, I happen to have some free time today, so I’ll wait for her at the lounge.”
“All right, you go ahead. I’ll get busy first. When you have time, have a chat with Chad. Try to help him get over her, or perhaps you could look around an
Jeremy gave his affirmation.
After Norman left, Jeremy sent the photo he had just taken to Matthew, along with a text.
Jeremy: No wonder you married Aurelia. This must be your reason, right?
When Matthew saw the photo, his gaze slightly hardened, and he didn’t shift his eyes for quite some time.
On the side, Gordon, who was reporting on work, was still talking incessantly.
He talked until his mouth was dry, waiting for Matthew’s decision.
After waiting for several minutes with no reply. Gordon’s heart was in his throat. “Is there a problem? I can have them re–strategize.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Matthew glanced up at Gordon and said, “Go over the report one more time.”
“Ah, all right.” Although Gordon found it odd, he did as told.
However, there was a lingering curiosity in his mind. What had the boss seen on his phone earlier? Why was he so engrossed in it?
Ten minutes later.
Gordon stepped out.
Matthew unlocked his phone and took another look at the picture of Aurelia at work.
Then, he replied to Jeremy: Erase the photo from your phone, and don’t look at what you’re not supposed to
Jeremy was leisurely sipping coffee in the lounge, enjoying a rare moment of downtime.

Unexpectedly, Matthew responded so quickly.
Upon seeing Matthew’s response, he almost spat out the coffee he was drinking.
Jeremy texted: I’m engaged, so I was merely appreciating beauty. There are absolutely no ulterior motives.
Three seconds later.
Matthew replied: It’s not your place to appreciate.

Upon glancing at the coffee beside him, Jeremy found that he couldn’t take another sip. Without further ado, he made a phone call.
“You claimed not to have feelings for Aurelia, didn’t you? Why are you so jealous then?”
Matthew stood up and walked over to the
or–to–ceiling window. “This isn’t jealousy.”
As Matthew stubbornly denied his feelings, Jeremy’s lips twitched slightly. “Sure, you’re not jealous. I’ve deleted the photo. I want to tell you something. I
“Tell Chad to give up,” Matthew said in a deep voice.
Does that kid seriously think he can steal my wife away?
Lying in bed, Chad was engrossed in a book he held in his hands.
His grandfather had arranged for a tutor to provide him with beginner–level books.
He could bear with it when he was younger, but now, he simply couldn’t anymore.
He ruffled his messy hair.
“It’s too hard to understand!” Chad was on the verge of tears.
As he reflected on how accomplished Aurelia was, he realized he had yet to achieve anything substantial in his life. His days were filled with merry– making and indulging in food and drink with friends. What he excelled at most was live streaming and joking around with people.
He was starting to lose respect for himself.
He glanced at his phone, realizing that it had been several days since Aurelia had reached out to him.
Within a few days, Aurelia had already forgotten about him.
Reluctantly, Melanie transferred the money to Curtis.
A whole million!
She had never really grasped the concept of saving money, so she didn’t have much set aside. Previously Benjamin had asked her if she had any mone she had to Curtis.

The moment she transferred the money, Melanie immediately made a phone call.
Finished
The money has already been transferred; you should have received it by now. Immediately delete the videos and tell me who gave them to you!”
The moment Curtis saw the money credited into his account, his eyes sparkled. “I took them myself. Melanie, I was there from start to finish yesterday.
“You!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll delete the videos. Even a single extra glance at them makes me sick.”
After hanging up the phone, Curtis stared at the picture of him and Aurelia on his mobile phone.
He truly missed Aurelia deeply. He had this feeling, a premonition, that if he lost Aurelia, he would never experience true love again in his lifetime. There
He tapped on the video he had recorded, about to delete it, but then a thought occurred to him. Melanie was crafty, so who knew what she might do in th
By the time Aurelia finished her work, it was already noon.
The realization that it was already lunchtime only came about due to her growling stomach.
She had barely taken a step out when she was stopped by someone.
It was an unfamiliar man, not a colleague.
“Ms. Shaw, I am Jeremy Gardner, Norman’s son and also Chad’s uncle. May I have a word with you?” Jeremy initiated politely.
He feared that his usual stern expression might scare Aurelia and that Matthew would hold him accountable for it later.
Aurelia was taken aback for a moment.
Chad’s uncle? Does that mean Chad is Old Mr. Gardner’s grandson?
“All right,” Aurelia agreed.
“Let’s talk over a meal. Don’t worry, I’m friends with Mr. Quigley, and I’m already aware of your relationship,” Jeremy said.
“Hmm, okay.” Aurelia was somewhat surprised. Had Matthew already disclosed their relationship to his
friends?
Jeremy took Aurelia to the Atharian restaurant across the street
As it was lunchtime, the restaurant was quite crowded.
Aurelia wasn’t particularly fond of eating Atharian cuisine. She always felt that it didn’t quite fill her up and
could be somewhat oily.

After Aurelia had eaten a bit, Jeremy began to speak. “Chad probably didn’t tell you about his relationship with us. He was working in an antique shop no
he was young
Aurelia gave a slight nod. “Has something happened with Chad?”
Though she was somewhat stunned when she first learned that Chad was Norman’s grandson, upon reflection, it seemed perfectly reasonable.
If Chad’s family background hadn’t been well– off, it would’ve been impossible for him to be multilingual, to exude such confidence and grace in conversation, and to have the freedom to do as he plea off he claimed it to be.
“Chad likes you.” Jeremy stated plainly.
Aurelia was shocked. “He likes me? Mr. Gardner, you might be mistaken. He probably sees me as a sister or a friend. I’m a few years older than him, an
“But Chad doesn’t know that. He doesn’t care about societal norms either. Age is just a number to him. Whether the gap is a few years or even a decade tell him that you’re already married?” Jeremy said.
“Did you all perhaps misunderstand? Have you asked Chad about his thoughts?” Aurelia still found it hard to believe.
