Chapter 106
Aurelia stared at her phone with resignation.
Meanwhile, the group chat was in a heated discussion about Millie and the man.
There were quite a few comments about his wealth, thoughtfulness, and, most importantly, his generosity toward her.
These descriptions made Aurelia feel as if she were witnessing the creation of another Kimberly.
However, Millie had explicitly expressed her dislike for braggadocious people like Kimberly.
Although…Millie did mention that the man from the blind date had tried to take advantage of her. The man she was spotted with couldn’t have been the same person.
Who was he then?
How could she have encountered a new man after just one night?
Aurelia racked her brains but couldn’t figure it out.
In the end, she sighed and decided to ask Millie in person tomorrow.
At the very least, they needed to clear up the misunderstanding between them.
With that in mind, Aurelia set the group messages to ‘Do Not Disturb’ and continued with her work.
Eventually, she fell asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already dark outside.
Feeling disoriented, she remembered she hadn’t prepared dinner yet.
She quickly got up and left the room.
As she passed by the dining table, she noticed a thermos with tableware beside it.
She carefully opened it.
It was beef stew inside, still oozing steam.
It must have been prepared by Leslie.
Aurelia felt touched and glanced around the living room.
There was no one in sight.
She went to Leslie’s favorite balcony, but he wasn’t there either.
Turning toward the study, she saw light leaking out from the door crack.
She took a step forward, wanting to express her gratitude, but hesitated.
Leslie was usually busy with work, so it was better not to disturb him.
After she sat down at the dining table, she took out her phone and opened WhatsApp.
“Mr. Leslie, thank you.” She typed.

“Yeah.”
“I didn’t expect you could make beef stew.”
“It’s takeout.” Leslie replied without hesitation.
2/3
Well, at least Leslie didn’t lie to her.
He didn’t even wake her up to ask for dinner.
Aurelia often heard her female colleagues complaining about whenever they’re not cooking, their husbands would rather go hungry than prepare food themselves.
On weekends, they had to do laundry, cook, and take care of the children. It seemed more exhausting than going to work.
While enjoying the steaming stew, Aurelia pondered.
Leslie would definitely make a good husband in the future.
He was quiet but he would help out around the house.
Wait, wasn’t Leslie her husband?
Although, it was just in name.
Meanwhile, in the study.
Leslie set his phone aside and continued reading. He had a relaxed expression.
Aurelia probably didn’t know how horrible the soundproofing was in the apartment, so he heard every word she said to Millie.
He was glad that at least she wasn’t a fool and knew how to fight back.
After all, she was a woman who punched a man until he bled.
For some reason, he felt the urge to laugh every time he thought back to what happened.
Aurelia seemed like an ordinary woman, yet she always did unexpected things.
Just then, he received a text on his phone.
“Mr. Synder, the police report you filed at 8:25 on 10/5/2023 has been resolved. Ms. Simmons and Mr. Martinez had both reached an agreement last night. Please call us if you have any questions.”
Leslie’s eyes darkened.
An agreement?
Last night?
Did that mean that Aurelia went out and settled the case with Seth after he fell asleep?
Despite saying that she wanted nothing to do with her ex-boyfriend, it seemed as though she couldn’t stand watching him suffer.
She was such a great actress that even he was fooled.
He even thought that he misunderstood her for a moment.
Clenching his fists, his expression darkened even further.
He called Daniel. “I need you to look into someone else for me.”
“Who is it?”
“Seth Martinez. i want all the available details on him.”
Leslie swore to show Aurelia what it meant to fool him.
