Chapter 8

Leslie always emitted an air of aloofness, cold and detached, perpetually enveloped in a mist that obscured any clear perception of him.

Surprisingly, he turned out to be quite considerate. At least he didn’t leave her alone in the hospital.

Recalling the past, there was a night when she stayed up late working on a proposal until her stomach ached.

Afraid to let her parents know, she had called Seth to take her to the hospital.

However, upon arriving, he mentioned having to meet a client and left her alone in the

hospital without completing the check–up.

Later, she learned that the so–called client was just Seth’s friend, and they spent the afternoon playing board games.

Seth explained that friends could help him introduce clients.

She empathized with Seth’s ambition to climb the corporate ladder and didn’t argue much.

After all, men needed to have career ambitions.

Looking back now, perhaps Seth never even took her seriously back then.

Fortunately, she saw through it.

Ding! The ringing of the call bell above her head brought Aurelia back to the present.

A nurse removed the needle from the little student across the room, and the mother–son duo waved at her before leaving.

Aurelia returned the wave and looked outside, wondering where Leslie had gone.

Her phone on the bedside table rang as she was thinking about it.

Seeing an unfamiliar number and worried it might be a new client, she answered immediately, “Hello, may I ask who’s calling?”

“Who are you?” Came a hesitant voice from the other end.

“Aren’t you looking for me? I’m…”

Before Aurelia could finish her sentence, the phone was forcefully taken away and abruptly hung up.

Holding the phone, Leslie pressed hard enough that his fingertips turned white, indicating his

anger.

“Aurelia, please get your identity straight. Marrying you was just to make my mom happy. Don’t attempt to meddle in my affairs.”

His voice was cold. Each word sent a chill through Aurelia.
