Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 3

Aurelia momentarily thought she was hearing things, cautiously glancing at Leslie, only to

find him completely unsurprised.

So… Leslie’s blind date was her?

Linda continued, “Aurelia, my son, as you can see, is a good–looking workaholic. At least your children will be beautiful in the future.”

Children? Aurelia was even more bewildered, having no idea how to respond.

Leslie raised an eyebrow, “Mom, that’s enough. I need to get back to the office.”

Linda rolled her eyes and said, “Office, office all the time. Why not just marry the company?”

Leslie shrugged. “If that’s an option.”

Linda, frustrated, turned to Aurelia and chuckled, “Aurelia, I won’t hide it from you. I’ve wanted you to be my daughter–in–law for a long time. Unfortunately, you had a boyfriend, so all I could do was silently wish you well. Who knew your boyfriend wouldn’t appreciate you? If he doesn’t want you, I do.”

With that, Linda held Aurelia’s hand, the warmth and softness of her grip reminiscent of Aurelia’s mother.

Thinking of her mom, Aurelia felt a sense of pain in her chest.

Perhaps, if she agreed to marry Leslie, Linda could help her mother.

But she didn’t dare to agree hastily. After all, marriage was a decision involving two people. She carefully looked at Leslie.

Leslie’s tone was indifferent, “Mom, do you really want me to get married?”

Linda was persistent. “Yes.”

Leslie’s eyes glanced over Aurelia.

“Fine, then let’s get married.”

She was just a gold digger. Someone easily appeased with money.

Aurelia was slightly taken aback. She hadn’t expected Leslie to agree so easily.

Linda turned to her, asking softly, “Aurelia, do you want this?”

Feeling lost, Aurelia thought it necessary to explain her family situation, “Ms. Linda, my family is going through some difficulties, and I might…”

Her voice choked in her throat.

Perhaps Linda’s overwhelming concern had stirred unexpected emotions in her.

Not wanting to delve into Aurelia’s sorrowful matters, Linda promptly interrupted, “Alright, alright. I believe in your character. As long as you nod, we won’t mistreat you. So, do you agree?”

Aurelia gratefully looked at Linda and nodded with determination, “Yes.”

She felt she had no choice with a stack of overdue bills in her drawer.

While selling the house was an option, the lengthy process with real estate agents might not provide a timely solution.

Her mom couldn’t wait any longer, even though medical expenses were covered for now.

Despite Leslie’s quick agreement, he had yet to give Aurelia a proper look.

If they parted ways in the future, there would be no hard feelings.

Linda clapped her hands with joy, “Great! Tomorrow is an auspicious day. You two should get the marriage license. You youngsters can decide the wedding arrangements. Now, take the time to get to know each other.”

Aurelia politely extended her hand to Leslie and greeted, “Mr. Synder, nice to meet you. I’m Aurelia. I look forward to getting to know you better.”
