Chapter 268
“Where are you wiping?”
“Huh?” Aurelia realized her fingers had landed on Leslie’s lips as she wiped them and felt embarrassed.
“Let’s go back first.”
Fortunately, Leslie didn’t press further and turned to start the car.
Aurelia nodded, but her fingers felt burning hot.
Back home, Aurelia had a video call with the caretaker.
Her mother was still unconscious, but her complexion seemed good.
The caretaker had discussed this with her family and signed a formal employment agreement with
Aurelia.
With her dedicated care for her mother, Aurelia wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.
This was all thanks to Leslie.
If he hadn’t persuaded the caretaker, this matter wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.
After the video call, Aurelia slumped onto the couch and stared blankly at the ceiling.
“So tired… When can I stop working?” she wondered.
Leslie happened to come out of his study and saw her lying on the couch.
He pursed his lips and wondered if it was truly necessary for her to be so upset over Mille.
Pouring himself a glass of water, Leslie walked past Aurelia, who didn’t react at all.
He closed his study door with displeasure and sat gloomily at the desk.
She was so upset over a friend who framed her that she failed to notice him.
In the video call, Daniel spoke cautiously, “Mr. Synder, what’s wrong with you now? Why do you look so jealous?”
“Nothing.” Leslie’s gaze darkened.
“There’s no use denying it,” Daniel said.
Leslie stayed silent.
“Seriously? Mr. Synder, did I really hit the nail on the head this time? What happened to Mrs. Synder that upset you?” Daniel asked gingerly.
“Daniel, what do you do when a woman is unhappy?”

“Buy her bags?” Daniel suggested.
“She doesn’t care for that,” Leslie denied the Iden outright.
She even thought that the emerald necklace was fake, so she probably didn’t have much need when it came to materialistic desires.
Daniel pondered for a bit.
“Food? Young girls like nice food.”
He then sent Leslie a few links and Leslie nodded, preparing to hang up.
“Mr. Synder, does your wife not know who you really are?” Daniel asked.
“Keep your mouth shut,” Leslie warned coldly.
“Sure, but you two are married. You can’t keep this from her forever.”
Leslie paused in response to Daniel’s words.
Shortly after, he said, “We’ll see how it goes.
After the call, he opened the links Daniel sent him and immediately placed an order.
Aurelia, who had rested on the couch for half an hour, was thinking what she should do to thank Leslie when she heard the doorbell.
Opening the door, she saw a delivery man who held out a beautiful cake and a cup of milk tea.
“Hello, your lovey–dovey set has arrived.”
“I didn’t order anything. Are you at the wrong address?” Aurelia asked in confusion.
“He didn’t.” Leslie stood behind her and cleared his throat. “I ordered it.”
Aurelia fell silent and thought, “Does he like this sort of thing? Lovey–dovey set?”
