Matthew saw the video.
In the video, Aurelia interacted with a man in a relaxed and casual manner, appearing even more vivid. than what was seen in the photos.
Matthew’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he responded tersely: Are you too free?
Gordon’s heart shuddered in fear after he saw Matthew’s reply. I’m not too free! I’m never too free!
He had finally figured it out. I don’t think Boss likes Ms. Shaw. Otherwise, he couldn’t have remained indifferent.
Suddenly, he felt as though he was going to be banished to the frontier, and he vowed never to probe Matthew’s feelings again.
However, Gordon wondered if Aurelia cared whether Matthew liked her or not.
Matthew abruptly yanked off his tic.
A button from his shirt had fallen off due to his tugging.
He glanced at the button that had fallen on the ground.
He bent down and picked it up.
The meticulously crafted button in the palm of his hand shimmered under the light.
He gently fiddled the button with his fingers and cast a cold glance at his wristwatch.
It was ten past eight in the evening.
His eyes, originally devoid of emotion, now held an added touch of coldness.
After leaving the night market, Aurelia decided to part ways with Xavier.
No sooner had Aurelia said goodbye than Xavier got straight into the car. “I’ll drop you off at your rental place first before I head back to the company do
“It’s almost eight o’clock. Why don’t I send you back to the dorm first, Xavier,” Aurelia said, preparing to start the car. Her eyes were cast downward as s
Xavier’s expression turned serious as he looked at Aurelia. “When we were young. I spent the most time with you. I can always tell when something is bothering you. Auri, have you encountered any problems?”
That day, there were only the two of them, so Xavier could tell Aurelia was troubled.
During that period, Aurelia seemed to have suddenly become a different person. He felt stifled whenever he sensed the aura of sadness and loneliness his knowledge, giving him a feeling of suffocation.
Aurelia knew that Xavier was worried about her.

remembered her secret marriage agreement with Matthew.
After hesitating for a few minutes, she said. “I’m married”
“You’re married?” Xavier was astounded. Hadn’t she just broken up with Curtis? How did she end up marrying someone else so quickly? During this per
“Who did you marry? How old is he, and what does he do for a living? How did you two meet?” Xavier asked a series of questions. He was worried that
Aurelia said earnestly. “Old Mrs. Quigley introduced him to me. We decided to be together after careful consideration. However, for certain reasons, I can
“So, it’s love after marriage? Auri, have you been reading too many novels, truly believing in love after marriage?” Xavier’s handsome face turned completely dark.
Xavier truly wanted to meet that man to find out what kind of spell he had cast on Aurelia that made her rush into a marriage without a second thought.
“I never considered the idea of marrying first and falling in love later. After all, novels are just novels, and I’m not the heroine in one. We’re simply… shar
the car.
Xavier still had a dark expression on his face. “Did that guy buy you this car?” Auri is still so young. How can she so casually find a guy to share her life with?
Every time he thought of Aurelia possibly being heartbroken because of Curtis, he felt a wave of pain in his heart and an uncontrollable urge to kill Curtis.
“I bought it myself. Our family’s living conditions will continue to improve from now on,” Aurelia said.
Xavier furrowed his brows. This kind of new energy car probably cost over a hundred thousand. Since Auri has been doing restoration work recently, she could have indeed earned some mon
“Are you living with him now?” he asked.
“Yes. It’s his house.” Aurelia gazed ahead, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic. Suddenly, she felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart
Xavier remained silent, not uttering a word for the next thirty minutes.
As he was nearing his company’s dorm, he finally spoke. “Auri, find an opportunity for me to meet him.”
“I’ll find a time to arrange for him to meet with you, Xavier. However, I don’t wish for Mom and Charlie to know about my marriage. They would definitely
Aurelia’s eyes flickered. Arranging for Matthew to meet with Xavier? I doubt Matthew would agree to meet my family members.
She was self–aware that her relationship with Matthew was merely confined to a written agreement.
When the car came to
a halt, Xavier let out a deep sigh. “Does he treat you well?”

“He’s very kind to me. It’s just that his personality is somewhat… aloof.” Aurelia carefully chose her words.
“Aloofness isn’t always a bad thing. It’s certainly better than Curtis‘ sweet talks.” Xavier felt slightly
reassured.
When Xavier siepped out of the car, he was still quite worried. “Auri, you must tell me immediately if anything happens in the future.”
“I will in the future,” Aurelia obediently and cleverly agreed.
Meanwhile, in a rented house, Curtis forcefully rullled his hair, which was already a mess like a bird’s nest. Seeing the various exposés flooding the inter

Now, under his statement, there were already tens of thousands of messages berating him.
Although the Leedon family had somewhat suppressed the heat, he had been fired by the company.
Suddenly, Gina called.
“Curtis, is what they’re saying online true? Are you really with that Melanie?” Gina asked anxiously. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Curtis‘ eyes were bloodshot. “Mom, w–we aren’t really together.”
“I remember you mentioned that although Aurelia was reunited with her biological parents, they didn’t seem to like her and still preferred Melanie. Is that
“That’s right. What’s the matter, Mom? I’m really frustrated right now. Can I talk to you about it when I go to the hospital tomorrow?” Curtis ran his hand th
“Since Aurelia is being so unreasonable now, even exposing you online, why not take this opportunity to be with Melanie? Strive to join the Leedon family in–law of the Leedon family, perhaps the Leedon family’s company might even become yours.” Gina began to dream big.
In her eyes, her son was incomparable to anyone else.
Curtis bloodshot eyes gleamed. “Mom, now that you remind me of this…”
By the time Aurelia returned to Starry Sea Mansion, it was already ten o’clock at night.
The lights in the mansion were brightly lit, indicating that Matthew had returned earlier than expected.
She was about to ascend the stairs when she noticed Matthew sitting on the couch near the staircase.
In his hand, he held a cup of steaming hot coffee.
The scent of various traditional medicinal herbs wafted over.
