Chapter 37
Seth’s acting skill was so good that even the cab driver was moved by him.
The cab driver turned around and looked at both of them. He then persuaded Aurelia, “Miss, you can’t be too hardhearted. If a man is willing to beg a woman like this, that means he’s really in love with the woman.”
“You can have his love if you want to,” Aurelia spoke at the end of her patience.
The cab driver twitched his mouth, as if saying Aurelia was too hardhearted. He then hit the accelerator and drove away.
Looking at the leaving cab, Aurelia struggled to free herself from Seth in anger. But men were clearly stronger than women. She couldn’t even force his hand off her with her whole strength.
“Let go of me!”
“I won’t let go of you, Aurelia! I am genuinely in love with you. If you don’t agree to marry me, I will hug you for the whole night here on the street.”
“Is there anything wrong with you? If there is, you should get it treated!”
“My heart feels wrong without you,” Seth said loudly.
His words made the people around them titter. There were even some of them who looked at Aurelia enviously.
Aurelia calmed herself down. She knew that the more she resisted, the more enthusiastic he became. The passersby who didn’t know anything would help him instead.
She stopped struggling and seemed to have complied with his embrace.
“Seth, I don’t want to make a fool of myself in front of so many people. If you have something to say, can’t you say it nicely? The way you hug me is uncomfortable.”
“Aurelia, are you agreeing to talk with me?”
“Yes. But let go of me first,” Aurelia said composedly.
“Sure.” Seth could feel Aurelia’s body relax too. There was a smile on his lips. He knew that this method could make Aurelia compromise.
With so many people looking at them, Aurelia would be too shy to refuse him.
However, a pair of cold eyes in a car that happened to pass by captured the scene of Seth hugging Aurelia.
In the car, Leslie smiled coldly, squeezing the document in his hand.
As he expected, Aurelia came to see her ex–boyfriend.
“Mr. Synder, the document is almost broken.” Daniel reminded him discreetly.
“Shut up!”
“Daniel was stunned in shock upon hearing that. He ducked his head in disbelief.
Leslie was always calm and tranquil. Why would he suddenly lose his temper? It seemed as if someone had stolen his wife away from him.
But that wasn’t possible. Leslie was allergic to women.
After Aurelia was freed, she could finally feel her arms again. She pointed at the bus station on the other side. “There’s too many people here. Let’s talk over there.”
“Okay. Aurelia, wouldn’t it be great if you had just been obedient earlier? I’m your boyfriend. Everything I do is all for your own good. Just listen to me from now on. Don’t you ever…”
Seth walked in the front like he always did. He turned around to speak of the important points, but found that Aurelia had gotten into another cab. He ran after her hurriedly, but he was still a step behind.
“Aurelia! What do you mean? You have the nerve to trick me?”
“What a psycho,” Aurelia was tired of the mental exhaustion that Seth had caused her. She couldn’t help but curse him and urged the driver to leave sooner. She told the cab driver that a pervert was stalking her.
The cab driver immediately stepped on the gas when he heard Aurelia and left Seth far behind. Seth was unwilling to give up so easily. He used another phone number and bombarded Aurelia’s p
phone with messages. She blocked the number at once.
But there was something that Aurelia found odd. From what she knew about Seth, there was no way he would eat the humble pie and admit that he was wrong so quickly.
Did something happen?
Aurelia contemplated for a while before looking for a number that she wasn’t so familiar with in her WhatsApp contacts. It was one of Seth’s colleagues.
They had dined together several times before. Once in a while, when Seth drank too much at some social events, this colleague would send her a message asking her to pick Seth up.
“How have you been recently?” Aurelia greeted the colleague politely first.
“Aurelia? Are you sending me the wedding invitation card of you and Seth? When is it? Where are you going to hold the wedding ceremony? Congratulations!”
