Callum was much more reliable than everyone around Aurelia, such as Briar, and Liam, who kept saying he regretted it.
Surprisingly, in response to her initiative, Callum pulled her away, walked to the bedside, and called the front desk of the hotel. “Room 1206 needs a medical kit. Thank you.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to answer.
Aurelia was speechless at his cold tone and expression.
Unexpectedly, within three minutes, the doorbell of the room rang. Aurelia ran over to open the door. It was a service lady carrying a first aid kit.
She took the first aid kit and thanked her politely, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Back in the room, Callum opened the first aid kit, found what he needed, and pushed Aurelia into a chair. “Sit still. I’ll clean your wound.”
“Ah? Can you?”
Callum gave her a cold look and said, “When I was in the special forces, I did a lot of this kind of thing.”
“Ah, you really have been a soldier!” She said that when he was standing on the playground, he looked like a professionally trained soldier. She didn’t expect that he had been in the special forces!
“Then why did you come back to be the president of a company? Wouldn’t it be better to stay in the special forces?” she asked puzzledly.
Aurelia really wanted to see Callum in military uniform. He must be super handsome!
“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you later when I have time.” He opened the disinfectant and skillfully dipped the cotton swab in the disinfectant.
The wound disinfectant was a very cheap one, and the quality was a bit poor. It stung the wound and it hurt a bit. Aurelia grimaced in pain. Fortunately, she could still bear this level of pain. If it were any other delicate girl, she would definitely cry in pain.
Callum paused, this disinfectant had no effect on him, and he forgot to remind Aurelia, who was a girl. His tone softened a little. “Bear with it. It will be over soon.” His hand moved three times faster.
“It’s okay. I can bear it.” If her two best friends saw Aurelia like this, they would definitely scold her severely.
If it were any other girl, she would definitely moan a few times on purpose to win the man’s sympathy.
But Aurelia deliberately made herself look like she wasn’t in any pain at all, and didn’t even think about acting cute.
After a moment, she looked at Callum, who was carefully cleaning her wound, and couldn’t help asking, “Callum, why did you come to me?”
Callum said nothing, taking out a band-aid from the medicine box and putting it on her.
“Can I not put on a band-aid?” She refused to put a band-aid on her face. It looked weird! Besides, it wasn’t a big wound.
He also refused. “No, I’ll take it off tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, then why don’t you answer the question I asked you.”
He put the first aid kit aside and said casually, “You are my wife. Isn’t it normal for me to come to you?”
Couldn’t he say something nice to tease her? After a long while, she finally said in a depressed tone, “Alright.”
Callum rushed her to the bathroom before saying, “Take a shower and go to bed. You have a flight tomorrow morning.”
“I haven’t had enough fun yet!” She meant it.
Callum really couldn’t understand why she still wanted to stay here even though she was robbed, but he didn’t bother to talk nonsense with her. He just pulled her into his arms and threatened in a deep voice, “Are you not going to listen to me?”
Aurelia rushed to the bathroom to escape his dishonest hands. “I’m going to take a shower first.”
Aurelia took a shower in the bathroom with a trembling heart. When she came out, Callum was working.
The cell phone she had put aside just happened to ring. She walked over to see the caller ID. Aurelia hesitated for a moment, then walked to the balcony and answered her phone.
“Hello.”
“Aurelia, what happened? I just finished a meeting.” Liam’s voice came from the other side.
Aurelia looked at the dark lake and curled her lips before replying, “Nothing. It’s okay.”
“Aurelia, I’ll pick you up when you get back.”
“No, Liam, don’t call me anymore. I’m married now. In order to avoid my husband’s misunderstanding, let’s contact each other less!”
Liam was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, “Aurelia, you don’t have to lie to avoid me. How can you possibly get married?”
“Aurelia.” A deep male voice came from behind her. Aurelia’s back stiffened. Did Callum hear it? She promised Callum that she would not text Liam anymore.
Liam on the other end of the phone obviously heard it, “Aurelia, who is that man? Why are you still together so late?”
Aurelia turned around and saw Callum standing behind her, staring at her with an unpleasant expression.
Feeling inexplicably guilty, she hung up the phone in a hurry, “Of course it’s me, husband. I have something to do here. Bye.”
Looking at her phone, Aurelia didn’t know how to explain to the man in front of her. She smoothed her hair and said, “Well, don’t misunderstand…”
Callum said nothing and turned back into the room.
Aurelia had no choice but to follow, looking at Callum’s back, and continued to explain dryly, “Callum, I really have nothing to do with him now.”
Callum turned around, his sharp eyes falling on her face that was flushed with anxiety. “What can make me believe you?”
Aurelia sighed, put her phone aside, wrapped around his waist, kissed him, and asked softly after a long while, “Callum, is this okay?”
She offered him a kiss, so of course he wouldn’t refuse! Not only would he not refuse, he would even ask for more.
He silently held her tightly in his arms and kissed her hard on the lips.
The moment they hugged each other, the room suddenly became filled with an amorous atmosphere. Aurelia was carried to the bed by Callum at some point, and he locked her tightly under him when they were infatuated.
Early the next morning.
Aurelia followed Callum out of the hotel, their sullen faces evident.
Callum looked gloomy, and although Aurelia seemed to be in a good mood, she was obviously a little depressed.
Jim, who was behind them, was carrying Aurelia’s luggage and didn’t dare to utter a sound. He could certainly feel the subtle atmosphere between the two people.
Were they quarreling again? That shouldn’t be the case. They didn’t seem to be angry.
Could it be that Callum disliked the room he stayed in last night? Did he not sleep well? Jim had clearly suggested changing to a better hotel, but Callum refused.
It was really puzzling, but never mind. As an assistant, he shouldn’t worry about it anymore.
Callum and Aurelia went to the VIP lounge at the airport and sat opposite each other. She glared at the man opposite her, muttered under her breath, “Straight man!”
