Aurelia had discovered that Cathy and Liana only pushed her forward and did not even bother to help her solve her problems. “Did I make two bad friends, or did you betray me?”
Liana grabbed her hand and put it on her chest. “Sheridan Buddy, I’ve been sided with you way before I knew Callum was your husband. But since I knew he was your husband, of course I took his side! Ouch! Don’t hit me. I’m just telling the truth!”
The three girls were laughing and joking. It was really lively. After complaining, Aurelia seemed to be in a rather better mood.
Liana made another joke on her, causing Aurelia to blush and her heart beat fast. She slapped Liana on the arm. Liana assured, “Callum and you are a couple. It’s normal. You have to get used to it!” The two continued to hit each other.
Cathy held Aurelia, who was flailing her limbs, cleared her throat, and spoke earnestly, “Sheridan Buddy, think about it! Take the membership card for example. If it weren’t for you, would Mr. Finnegan have given us a VIP card for the fifth floor of Alioth? This shows that he has you in his heart. You have to resolve any misunderstandings. Don’t be impulsive.”
Liana nodded and agreed excitedly, “We are still impressed by the affection you showed us that day! The way Mr. Finnegan looked at you was different. It was definitely not as cold as before. Instead, it was a little gentle. If I didn’t have my Larry, I would have fallen hard for him.”
Liana looked so dreamy that Aurelia rolled her eyes helplessly. “I asked you to help me solve my problems, not to put in a good word for him!” These two people were really weird. Could it be that knowing that Callum was her husband could make them believe Aurelia would erase all the jerky things he did to her before?
She had been able to automatically forget about those things some time ago, but now that she was angry, she remembered everything about Callum having someone throw her into the sea and threatening to bury her alive.
“Aurelia, believe my judgment of people. Mr. Finnegan is definitely a good person. You should control your temper. Tell me the truth. Have you ever hit him? But I don’t think you would dare to do that…” After all, that was Mr. Finnegan.
Before Cathy could finish her words, Aurelia interrupted her and said calmly, “I slapped him.”
Pfft… Liana coughed firercely and almost choked on the coffee in her mouth. She coughed for a long time before she recovered. “Sheridan Buddy, you dare to slap Mr. Finnegan?”
Aurelia nodded. He saw her as a loose woman. He deserved a slap!
Cathy covered her face with her hands. She knew that Aurelia would be upset, but she didn’t expect that she would dare to slap Callum directly. “Sheridan Buddy, you’re trying to get yourself killed!” Who was Callum? The richest man in Evercrest… no… in the world! How dare Aurelia?
Aurelia sat up straight and dropped another bombshell. “And this isn’t the first time I’ve hit him! That time when I went to a dinner party with Briar, I attacked his… Ahem. I attacked his male part!” Now that she thought about it carefully, she really hit him hard that time.
Cathy and Liana fell silent.
After a long while, Cathy patted her left shoulder with admiration. “Sheridan Buddy, believe me. Mr. Finnegan truly loves you, so cherish him!”
Liana patted her right shoulder before saying, “Well, if there is a misunderstanding, it needs to be resolved. Go home!”
Not only was Aurelia not going home now, she had no plans to go home tonight.
Liana was called away by Larry halfway. Cathy accompanied Aurelia until around nine o’clock in the evening before returning to the dormitory.
Getting off the taxi, they saw groups of students returning to dormitories. The dormitories had a curfew of 10 o’clock in the evening. Near the dormitory, many young couples were seen embracing and kissing each other in the dark.
As soon as her right foot stepped onto the steps leading to the girls’ dormitory door, Aurelia’s cell phone rang.
She took out her cell phone from her pocket and was stunned by the caller ID.
Cathy turned back in confusion, asking, “Who is it? Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
Aurelia hesitated for a moment, then hung up the phone and took Cathy’s arm. “A prank call, I guess. Let’s go in!”
Her phone kept ringing until Cathy was about to collapse. “Aurelia, are you going to let your phone keep ringing like this?”
After she finished speaking, the phone finally stopped ringing. This time, it was replaced by a text message notification. Aurelia checked the message casually, and the content inside made her grit her teeth instantly.
“I’m right outside the school. If you don’t show up in five minutes, I’ll go to the dormitory and bring you out.”
Aurelia handed the things in her hand to Cathy. “I have to go out for a while. I have something to do.”
Cathy took the things inexplicably, and seeing that she looked strange, she pulled her back before asking, “Sheridan Buddy, what on earth happens? You look like you’re going to risk your life. Should I go with you?”
“Callum…”
Cathy was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hand. “Go ahead. Don’t keep Mr. Finnegan waiting anxiously. Although there are disputes between you two, you will reconcile with him soon. I’d better not go with you…”
Before she could finish her words, Aurelia had already walked three meters away.
Aurelia ran out breathlessly as fast as she could, and indeed saw a familiar face. However, it had already attracted the attention of many people, especially several female classmates, who were all rubbernecking.
Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief, put on her hat very low-key, walked around to the other end of the car, opened the back door, and got in.
The man sitting in the driver’s seat had seen her the moment she appeared. He waited until she was seated firmly before starting the car and driving off.
The car was heading towards the Finnegan family’s villa. Aurelia couldn’t help but say, “Callum, if you have something to say, just say it. This will save me from having to take a taxi back later.”
Aurelia’s greatest strength and greatest weakness was that she never hid her feelings. She was very straightforward. She wouldn’t hesitate to show emotions on her face. Just like at this moment, she finally spoke up, but her tone was stiff.
“You don’t need to take a taxi in the future. I will buy you a car of your own.” The man said slowly.
Damn! That was not the point here! “No, thank you for your kindness. What I mean is…” Forget it. Why should she explain so much to him? “If you have nothing else to say, just drop me off here.”
“I told you that you are not allowed to live in the dormitory anymore.”
“Yes, you did say that, but why should I listen to you? You want me to learn yoga dance, so I have to give up martial arts to learn it. Why?”
“Because you are Madam of the Finnegan Clan!”
