Chapter 206
“Aurelia, when you’re looking for a husband in the future, be sure to find someone like your dad.”
“You need a man who can make decisions in important matters. You seem quite capable, but all you do is brute force your way through hardships.”
She seemed to understand what her mom was saying now.
Leslie lowered his gaze.
“What are you looking at?”
Aurelia immediately shifted her gaze.
“Nothing. I’ll check on my mom and then we can leave.”
She walked over to her mother, but Leslie’s gaze lingered behind her.
After checking on her mom, Aurelia and Leslie went to the largest furniture store in Seacester.
This was Aurelia’s first time here, and she felt a bit disoriented.
The two stood in front of the map and studied it.
The map was so big that Aurelia had a hard time comprehending it.
Aurelia felt dizzy just looking at it, so she started walking based on her instincts.
“Aurelia,” Leslie called her from behind.
“What’s wrong?”
“Looks to me like you have a really bad sense of direction. We are supposed to go here. You’re going to the mattress section. Do you need one?”
“…Mattress?”
Aurelia looked at Leslie, thinking about something, and walked away with her
head down.
Leslie was used to this and caught up with Aurelia’s pace.
They both went upstairs together.
Aurelia wanted to buy some decorations to add some more warmth to their home.
Their home?

Aurelia paused.
She was surprised by her own thoughts.
She had unintentionally started thinking of Leslie’s home as her own.
Perhaps she had gotten used to saying it and it became a habit.
When choosing decorations, Aurelia would pick them up and ask for Leslie’s opinion.
Although Leslie didn’t seem to care much, he always gave sensible advice so it wasn’t boring to shop with him.
Just as she was selecting decorations for the cabinet, someone walked past her with a big pot of artificial flowers.
She stood and came close to getting scratched on the cheek when Leslie pulled her over at the last moment.
She stumbled into his arms and the two stared into each other’s eyes, recalling the kiss from the night before.
“Um…Are you two still buying this? You aren’t supposed to squeeze that so hard. It’ll scatter.
A staff member appeared out of nowhere and chuckled.
Aurelia glanced at the flower basket that was on the brink of scattering, feeling embarrassed.
“We’ll pay.”
Leslie wore a half smile and proceeded to pay.
Aurelia held the flower basket and fought the urge to run away.
He glanced at her and said, “Looking good.”
Her cheeks reddened further.
She wondered why he was saying that while looking at her.
Not wanting to ask, she was prepared to leave when someone called out her name from behind her.
“Aurelia? Aurelia!”
Hearing someone calling out to her, she turned around to find that it was one of her colleagues.
This was someone who stuck around Kimberly most of the time.

If Millie was the gossip queen of the office, this person would be the second-in- command.
The colleague looked at Aurelia in surprise.
“So it really is you.”
“Yeah. Are you here shopping as well?”
“Yeah. I want to buy a vase. I love flowers and arranging them at home really relaxes me.”
The colleague smiled and glanced at Leslie.
