“I’ll let them send fewer pieces next time.” Callum said he would ask them to send fewer pieces next time, but in the days that followed, Aurelia found that the clothes sent by the clothing store were not less, but more.
One day, the maid found Aurelia throwing a down jacket into the washing machine. She took the down jacket out of the washing machine with a distressed look on her face and couldn’t help but say, “Mrs. Finnegan, don’t you feel bad for throwing a down jacket worth hundreds of thousands of dollars into the washing machine?”
Hundreds of thousands? A down jacket cost hundreds of thousands?
Aurelia stood there in astonishment, watching the maid holding the clothes and calling the dry cleaners.
Callum was really rich!
In the following days, Aurelia went to the bar to sing a few times while Callum was busy.
So far, she had saved enough money!
She avoided Callum and went to EliteMart alone, bought what she wanted, and then wandered around. She accidentally saw a pajama store and walked in.
Twenty minutes later, Aurelia walked out of EliteMart carrying a handbag.
On the way back, she received a call from Renata. “Hello, Renata.”
“Aurelia, Laura is going to a business dinner tomorrow night. Have you heard who her date is? A lot of people know.”
“I don’t know.” If Laura didn’t approach Callum, she would never care about Laura’s affairs.
Renata was helpless. “I knew you didn’t know. She had someone spread the word a long time ago. It’s Callum!”
She felt uncomfortable thinking of Laura being so close to her husband.
“Yes, many people in the circle know that Laura is the favorite of Evercrest Four Young Masters, especially Callum and Roy. People guess that Laura will either become Madam of the Finnegan Clan or Madam of the Morrison Clan. I just found out that several of my friends are talking about this and are fawning over Laura in various ways. I can’t stand it anymore. Let me tell you. Tomorrow night’s party is not ordinary. On the surface, it is indeed a business party, but in fact, it is also a competition among women!”
“A competition?” Was it that complicated?
“Of course it’s a competition of male companions! There will be many people attending the party tomorrow night, and they are either rich or noble. If Callum shows up with Laura, people in Evercrest will be sure that Laura is the Madam of the Finnegan Clan! I just want to tell you that you must attend the party tomorrow night and stay with Callum. If you give this opportunity to Laura, Aurelia, are you okay with that?”
Was she okay with that? Of course not! No woman would be willing to have another woman standing next to her husband.
“Aurelia, don’t be so naive. Elliot told me that you and Callum had a fight because of Laura, didn’t you? This woman always makes trouble for others! I am convinced! Don’t let her sabotage your relationship with Callum this time, understand?”
“You need to take the initiative. I believe you will do a great job!”
“If Callum asks you why you know that, just tell him I told you. It’s okay. We’ve been friends for many years. He won’t be mad at me.”
Aurelia was always confused by what Renata said, and this time was no exception. “Let me think about it. You’ve given me a lot to digest. I can’t keep up!”
“Well, take your time to think about it. If you can’t figure it out, call me!”
“Okay. By the way, Renata, I do have a question now. Why is Mr. Richmond so nice to me? Don’t get me wrong. He definitely loves you. I’m not talking about that kind of nice. I can feel that he’s nice to me in the way an elder treats a younger person.” And Renata, just like now, was also very nice to her, which made her really confused.
Renata laughed on the other end of the phone. “Okay, you don’t have to explain. I understand. I know how much Elliot loves me! He treats you well, and I know why. But it’s better for him to explain it to you himself!”
“I’ve asked him twice, but he never tells me! This makes me feel uncertain and insecure.” Aurelia was very depressed.
“He didn’t tell you because the timing was not right and he had more things to think about. Anyway, he doesn’t hate you, nor will he harm you, so why should you feel insecure? You don’t have to worry about Elliot. Now you have to think about the party tomorrow night, okay?”
“All right!”
“Okay, I gotta go. Contact me if you need anything.”
“Thank you, Renata.”
“You’re welcome. Bye.”
Back at the villa in the evening, Aurelia was pulled to the study by Callum, who came back early to make up for her lessons. Looking at the man who was teaching her seriously, she wanted to ask him about tomorrow night’s dinner party several times, but in the end, she couldn’t get the words out.
An hour and a half later, Callum closed the textbook and said, “That’s all for today. Well, you’ve seen me quite a few times, so tell me what you want to ask me.”
Was that obvious?
After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, “Are you free tomorrow night?”
“I need to attend a dinner party tomorrow night. Is there anything?” Callum held her in his arms, sniffing her scent greedily.
What Renata said was true. “It’s nothing. If you’re busy, go ahead!”
Her incoherent words made the man very confused. “What are your plans?”
“No, I’m just asking casually.” She hadn’t figured out what to do next.
Since she didn’t want to talk, Callum didn’t force her. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, “Does your cycle end?”
It had been five days since Aurelia’s period started.
Aurelia froze for a moment, and when she met the emotion in the man’s eyes, she blushed and stood up from his lap, “Almost over.”
This horny man had asked her this question many times in the past few days. It was so scary.
Callum collapsed and lowered his head to hold his forehead. “Honey, you’ve been telling me this these past few days.” She had said the word “soon” dozens of times, but her period still didn’t end.
Aurelia smiled secretly, looking at the man’s sullen face, and came up with an idea.
Back in the room, Aurelia sent a WhatsApp message to Renata. “Renata, can you do me a favor?
The next morning Callum had class, so Aurelia finished dancing and rushed to school. When she arrived, she just saw Callum’s car entering the school.
There seemed to be a pause in the middle, and it was obvious that the man in the car also saw her. There were many classmates around. Seeing Rory getting out of the car, Aurelia ran away directly.
Rory was speechless.
