Callum took Aurelia a few steps forward until they were in front of the two people. He rarely joked in a lighthearted tone, “When Elliot proposed to you in front of us, we also felt the same way as you did just now.”
When talking about that romantic memory, Renata’s eyes narrowed with a smile, and Elliot smiled gently. Then the two smiled at each other, with infinite sweetness in their eyes.
Aurelia looked at the couple with envy. They were the most loving couple she had ever seen.
The emotion in her eyes did not escape Callum’s eyes. He tightened his grip on her hand slightly and said inwardly, “Aurelia, from today on, I will not let you envy anyone else.”
But before Elliot could say anything, a frivolous male voice came from behind them. “Oh! Isn’t this Mr. Finnegan and Mr. Richmond? I have heard so much about you!”
Aurelia looked towards the source of the voice and saw two men standing not far away, one wearing a black suit and the other white.
The man in the white suit, who was also the one speaking, was someone she knew. He was Briar’s brother, but she didn’t know him very well.
The man in the black suit looked familiar to Aurelia. She remembered seeing him once on TV. He seemed to be a colonel or something. However, he seemed much more handsome in person than on TV. Aurelia looked at him admiringly for a second before she noticed.
She didn’t expect to see Alex and Roy here. Aurelia was even more curious. Who on earth was celebrating her birthday today that would make all the Four Young Masters of Evercrest come here?
Callum took the woman who was looking at Roy in a daze into his arms and told Roy expressionlessly, “Come greet my wife!”
Roy was the youngest of the four, and he had already prepared himself to greet the other three’s wives in person. He had met Renata many times.
But Aurelia, if he remembered correctly, was only 21 years old, much younger than him!
Everyone was waiting for Roy to greet Aurelia. Under everyone’s gaze, Roy walked in front of Aurelia, suddenly stood up straight, and gave a standard military salute. “Nice to meet you. I’m Roy Morrison.”
Even when Roy saluted in a suit, there was no sense of incongruity, but instead, he had a unique charm.
Aurelia was startled by the man’s loud voice, but luckily she reacted quickly and gave him a barely passable salute. “Hello, Roy, I’m Aurelia Sheridan. Let’s spar when we have a chance.”
It was just a simple sentence, but it made Roy’s face change slightly as he looked at Aurelia.
Once upon a time, there was a girl like Aurelia, who smiled brightly and said in a clear voice, “Hello, I’m Gina Leigh, your new neighbor. Nice to meet you.”
Aurelia seemed to be a bit similar to her when she smiled…
However, the girl got engaged to another man.
Aurelia was not a soldier after all, and her arms were sore after saluting for less than two minutes, while Roy just stood there staring at her without any reaction.
The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment, but Aurelia couldn’t put her finger on what was strange.
Anyway, the next moment she was pulled back into Callum’s arms, brought behind him, cut off Roy’s view. Callum told Roy with a grim expression before reminding him. “Aurelia is not her.”
Those few simple words brought Roy back from his daze.
He calmly retracted his military salute, took a step back, and adjusted his suit jacket. Alex quickly tried to smooth things over, holding Roy’s shoulder and saying, “Come on, go in quickly. Laura must be waiting anxiously.”
Roy glared at Alex with an unpleasant expression. “Don’t touch me. Why are two grown men so close?”
Alex was speechless.
“Pfft…” Aurelia couldn’t help laughing and hid beside Callum.
Callum glanced at her. “Is it funny?”
Aurelia nodded, “Yeah, they’re both really interesting.”
Alex let go of Roy and ran to Aurelia. “Hey, look at how pitiful I am. Roy despises me every day. There are so many women in the world. Do you think I would like him? I think Roy has gone crazy in the army. He looks at everyone with strange eyes.”
Alex and Briar were indeed brothers, and their personalities were exactly the same. Seeing Alex was like seeing Briar, which made Aurelia feel very familiar. She nodded unceremoniously and said, “I know you won’t like Roy. I know you are the same as Briar. A hedonistic playboy indulging in a myriad of romantic entanglements.”
Alex opened his mouth and stroked his short blond hair. “Well, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Less than two minutes after they walked, while Aurelia and Alex were chatting animatedly, a girl in a light blue princess dress appeared in everyone’s sight.
She ran towards Aurelia from a distance, holding her dress, her long black hair fluttering in the wind, with a bright smile on her face and a pair of 5 inches high heels of the same color on her feet.
When she got closer, Aurelia could see her face clearly. She had almond-shaped blue eyes, and her thin lips, painted with brown-colored lip gloss, were slightly raised.
Aurelia couldn’t help but praise in her heart. What a beauty!
Laura panted slightly and hugged Alex, who was closest to her, first, “Hello, Alex!”
Alex rubbed her head and said, “Happy birthday, Laura.” He waved his hand and the assistant not far away immediately handed her the birthday gift he had prepared.
Laura smiled sweetly, “Thank you, Alex.”
“Laura, happy birthday. This is the gift Elliot and I prepared for you.” Renata took the initiative to hand over the gift she and Elliot prepared.
Laura thanked them happily, “Thank you, Elliot.” The next moment, she stood on tiptoes and gave Elliot a kiss on the cheek.
Then she said to Renata, “Thank you, Renata.”
Aurelia was slightly surprised. Were Laura and Elliot so close? She even kissed him in Renata’s presence.
Not only that, after greeting Roy, Laura came to Callum, naturally took Callum’s arm, and said like a spoiled child, “Callum, I like the island you gave me very much. I’m very happy!”
Aurelia was shocked and she couldn’t help but take another look at the island.
This island must be worth at least hundreds of millions. Callum was so rich that he actually gave it away as a gift.
Callum seemed to be in a good mood as well. He smiled and nodded at her, then introduced Aurelia to her. “Laura, this is Aurelia, my woman. Be good to each other. Aurelia, this is Laura.”
Laura seemed to have just noticed Aurelia and said in surprise, “Callum, when did you have a girlfriend? How come I just found out about it!”
Callum explained, “Aurelia’s not my girlfriend. She’s my wife. We’re already married.”
Aurelia smiled and stretched out her right hand. “Hello, Laura, I’m Aurelia Sheridan. Happy birthday!”
