“Aurelia!” Callum shouted at her.
Aurelia pouted and lowered her head to eat.
Laura quickly picked up a slice of bread and gave it to her. “Aurelia, try it. It’s my favorite bread. Callum specially asked the chef to bake it for me!”
Damn it! Why did Laura keep showing off Callum’s love for her?
Aurelia’s heart hurt as she resisted the urge to slam the table. “No, give it to your Callum. I don’t like bread. Thank you!”
It was true that she wasn’t a fan of bread. Although she didn’t hate it, she wouldn’t even think about it if she didn’t eat them for a year.
Laura’s hand holding the bread froze in mid-air, and a look of grievance appeared on her face. “I… I’m sorry. I didn’t know you didn’t like it…”
Aurelia didn’t react much to her behavior, but Callum took the bread from Laura and placed it in front of Aurelia before saying, “Laura means well. Have a try.”
Aurelia lost her temper and slammed her fork on the table. “Callum, you never refuse any request from Laura! If that’s the case, what’s the point of our marriage? Why not just take her in…”
“Shut up!” Callum’s face looked extremely cold, and the atmosphere in the entire living room instantly became tense.
The next moment, he stood up from his seat. “Aurelia, follow me upstairs!”
“I’m not going!” Aurelia glared at Laura with red eyes, stood up and walked towards the door of the villa.
“Stop!” came the man’s order from behind.
Aurelia thought about why she sang until she was hoarse, and she felt infinitely aggrieved. She turned back and looked at Callum. “After spending some time together, it seems that we are not meant for each other. Callum, let’s get a divorce!”
Callum had a domineering and hateful personality, and she was very bad-tempered. He was always very gentle and doting to Laura, but he got angry with her from time to time, threatened her with her weaknesses, and scared her to tears..
Even in the secret competition with Laura just now, he chose to stand on Laura’s side. In this case, why did he need her? He could just treat Laura as his wife.
Aurelia opened the door of the villa and rushed out.
In the villa, Callum sat back in his seat and closed his eyes tightly.
Sitting opposite him, Laura was so scared that she didn’t dare to say a word. She had never seen Callum so angry before!
A few minutes later, Callum’s mood had returned to normal. He said calmly, “I should go to work now.”
“Okay, but Aurelia…”
“Don’t worry about her!”
In school.
Aurelia was called into Elliot’s office, and Elliot made her a cup of coffee and handed it to her. “You look distracted. What’s wrong?”
Elliot met Aurelia just now, who was distraught, so he called her to come to his office.
Aurelia just kept looking at him, not saying anything.
Elliot was confused by her look. “Did I offend you?”
Aurelia shook her head.
“Mr. Richmond, why doesn’t Callum just marry Laura?”
Elliot was stunned for a moment and asked back, “Why should Callum marry Laura?”
Aurelia looked down at the coffee in her hand and smiled bitterly, “Callum dotes on her so much. Isn’t it just right for him to marry her?”
Elliot thought of Renata, who had said the same thing, but they all misunderstood. “Callum’s love for Laura is out of gratitude, or it can be said that it is the love of an elder for a younger generation, including the three of us. But Callum’s love for you is a true love between a man and a woman. Aurelia, I have never seen a woman dare to be as presumptuous in front of Callum as you are. Do you think he doesn’t dare to take care of you? Definitely not! You may not have seen Callum’s cruelty, but you must have heard about it more or less, right?”
He paused here, and Aurelia couldn’t help but interrupt, “He used to have me throw into the sea and threaten me with my weaknesses…”
Elliot laughed. “Silly girl, his cruelty is a lot more than that. Did he use physical violence or other cruel methods towards you?”
It didn’t seem to be the case. Aurelia couldn’t help but complain in her heart. She thought this was cruel enough, wasn’t it?
“I don’t know what happened to you today, but if it’s because of Laura, there’s really no need. To be honest, I didn’t intend to let you and Callum get involved at first. That day when we went to Laura’s birthday party, I saw the way he looked at you, Aurelia, it was a look of love. I’ve known him for so long, but I’ve never seen Callum like this. Believe me, Callum definitely didn’t treat you like this just because you are Mrs. Finnegan.”
Aurelia thought Elliot was really a good friend of Callum’s. From the beginning till now, he had been saying good things about Callum.
“Maybe what you said is right, but all this is based on the premise that Laura is not around. As long as Laura is around, Callum will never see me.”
Elliot shook his head. “Aurelia, you have to give him time. Laura has been in his life for more than five years. Although you and him have been married for a long time, you two have only been together for the past few months. Give him time to deal with your relationship. I don’t know about others, but I believe Callum will satisfy you.”
“Honestly, do you think we can’t see through Laura? She is indeed not as innocent as she seems, but we all choose to ignore it because Callum and Roy shoulder the responsibility of making her happy. Of course, her happiness and joy cannot be built on your pain. If you have any grievances in the future, you must speak up. I believe Callum will not ignore it. And the most important thing is, you can do whatever you want in the future. Callum and I will back you up.”
Aurelia fell silent. What else could she say?
She nodded repeatedly and looked at Elliot with admiration. “I finally understand why you became the principal at such a young age, Mr. Richmond. I am convinced by your eloquence.”
Elliot glanced at her. “You’re flattering me, Aurelia. I’m just speaking the truth.”
Aurelia asked, “Mr. Richmond, I’m really confused. Why are you so nice to me?” She could feel that Elliot was nice to her from the bottom of his heart.
“Go back and stop being mad at him. Callum really cares about you. You are much more ladylike and elegant now than when you were with Liam. Except for your bad temper, which needs to be improved, you don’t have any other shortcomings.”
Aurelia looked more confused. It would be fine if he didn’t answer her question, but why did he mention Liam all of a sudden?
