The Priceless Bride: A Tycoon’s Obsession

Suzanne Simpson drove away. Aurelia took out two of the boxes and gave them to her two friends, explaining with a look of despair, “Mr. Finnegan doesn’t care about this little money at all. He said that if you two don’t accept it, it means you are being distant with me and don’t treat me as a good friend. And yet you are so polite to me… Just accept it. I feel helpless to accept it myself.”

Liana wanted to struggle again, “No, we have already accepted Mr. Finnegan’s VIP card for the fifth floor of Alioth worth millions. Now we have to accept this, Aurelia, how can we accept it?”

Aurelia shook her head, “I don’t understand the thoughts of those capitalists.” If what happened today was her accepting Hubby’s card from someone else, and it was worth one million or five hundred thousand, she would be embarrassed.

“Okay, both of you stop thinking about it and just take it. I’m confused myself.”

…

That night, when Aurelia decided to talk to Callum in person, Callum went on a business trip out of town. According to Rory who had just returned, he would be away for at least a month.

Although Callum was gone, she still had everything she was supposed to do, and there were people to supervise her. He really treated her like a woman, with yoga and dance classes during the day, and from time to time, he arranged a SPA beauty, flower arrangement, tea party, art exhibition, bowling, women’s baseball… and a milk bath and flower petal bath for her in the evening.

All they did were the daily things that a socialite in upper class should do. Just when Aurelia was about to go crazy, Callum finally came back.

After more than two months of walking, they were still texting on their phones. Aurelia certainly didn’t want to accept his arrangements, but Callum shut her down with just one sentence, and she never talked to him again.

Even after Aurelia found out that Callum had signed her up for a dance program at the school’s New Year’s Eve party, and she was going crazy and hating Callum to death, she didn’t even call him to question him.

The day Callum came back was the New Year’s Day Gala. Because New Year’s Day was a Sunday, the gala was held three days in advance.

On the stage, Aurelia slowly walked onto the stage in a retro sky blue dance costume.

The moment the light hit her and her face was exposed to everyone’s sight, everyone in the audience was so shocked that they couldn’t say a word.

They couldn’t believe that Aurelia, whom they called a tomboy before, could be so ladylike and elegant.

Spinning, jumping, every dance move deeply attracted everyone’s attention.

When the dance ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Aurelia did not feel any joy. She came down from the stage, changed her clothes, and left the school in a depressed mood.

She would never talk to Callum again, the man who would torture her every day even if he left. Well, this folk dance was a success, he must be satisfied!

She opened the door of the villa and fell into a familiar yet unfamiliar embrace in the darkness, and her screams were blocked.

Phew… He is the only one who can beat her.

However, something seemed to be wrong. She seemed to smell blood…

Letting go of the man, she turned on the light in the villa and saw Callum covering his arm with one hand, which was covered in blood.

“What’s wrong with you?” She anxiously grabbed his arm, and the man’s face turned pale.

Callum suppressed the emotions that had just risen up, “It’s okay, call this number and ask him to come over.”

“I’ll take you to the hospital!” She threw her schoolbag aside and prepared to help him out.

Her action was stopped by Callum, “This matter cannot be known to the media, send me upstairs, this call is from a doctor, don’t worry!”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Aurelia’s eyes turned red with distress, and she dialed the number on his phone. After the incident, she complained unhappily while helping him walk upstairs, “You still remember to come back? And you came back with injuries. I didn’t know you would think I hurt you!”

Callum stopped, touched her face, and praised her sincerely , “I saw your performance, it was great!”

Aurelia was about to cry when she thought about her life in the past two months. “Callum, you bastard, just go away. You still want me to do this and that. I don’t want to be a socialite. I just want to be myself…”

“Okay, then don’t do it.”

I was determined to insist on doing something, but after seeing the aggrieved look in the little girl’s eyes, I instantly softened my heart and changed my mind.

“Humph, look, your life is in my hands now! You agree to whatever I say! When I sent you a message to protest, didn’t you swear that you were doing this for my own good?” She had only protested that one time, but Callum shut her down with the words “it’s for her own good”. Since then, or perhaps he was just sulking with her, she never sent him a single message.

What made her even angrier was that she didn’t contact him, and he never contacted her on his own initiative… Isn’t that infuriating?

“I don’t want to see you feeling aggrieved.” Perhaps this was too uncomfortable for her. After all, she was so lively that he was surprised that she did not go abroad to find him.

“How can you be so hateful? You caused me trouble every day for the two months you were away , and now that you’re back , you want to coax me into submission by giving me a little sweetness? No way!” Her voice was slightly choked with sobs, and there was a hint of coquettishness in it that she was not aware of.

Helping him to his bed, Callum laid down and held her hand, “I’m sorry for letting you get hurt. I won’t do it again.”

She cried so hard that she couldn’t make a sound. She stretched out her fist and hit him on the arm. Then, remembering that he was injured, she turned her fist to his chest.

The man held her hand and pulled her into his arms, “Why? Don’t you miss me after not seeing me for two months?”

“How could I… miss you! I don’t miss you at all.” Aurelia was stubborn and said this at the moment. She fell into the man’s arms, and had to be careful not to touch his wound.

“But I miss you so much…” His magnetic voice sounded in her ears.

Aurelia’s heart was beating fast and her face was flushed. She really didn’t know how to answer his question, so she simply changed the subject and asked casually, “What happened to your injury? Are you protecting a woman like this?”

This time the man was silent.

His silence made her heart sink. She stood up from his arms and glared at the man, “You really got it right.”

At this moment, her heart felt uncomfortable and bitter.

He held her hand again, “Do you know why Roy and I adopted Laura? Because her parents died tragically at the hands of others in order to protect us.”

So, he saved Laura.

Aurelia didn’t know what she felt, but it was very complicated… The feeling of thinking that Callum did the right thing but at the same time feeling sour and uncomfortable, I’m afraid no one can understand.
