“What?” Callum was puzzled. It was not until he got closer to her that he could see the contents of her phone clearly.
Callum took her phone, took a look at it, and turned off the screen expressionlessly. “It wasn’t me. The reporter was arranged by Renata.”
Hmm? Renata arranged it?
Oh! Last night she asked Renata to help find the hotel where Callum often stayed.
She asked cautiously, “Will this have any bad effects on you?”
Callum picked her up and held her sideways. “What’s wrong with me sleeping with my wife?” That was why he didn’t ask anyone to take down the trending posts and the news.
While eating, Aurelia couldn’t help but check her phone. Just as she flipped through it, she was stopped by Callum. “Focus on your meal.”
After finishing her meal obediently, Aurelia took advantage of the time when Callum was on the phone to reply to some friends.
“You don’t have to worry, because the female college student that Callum met at night was me.”
The other people all sent emojis of vomiting.
Finally, Aurelia opened the news on Twitter. The general contents were like, “Laura got stood up at the party” and “It turned out that Mr. Finnegan had checked into a hotel room with a mysterious woman and had not stepped out of the room from last night to this morning. Mr. Finnegan’s private phone could only be dialed at noon”.
After changing into the clothes that Callum had someone send over, Aurelia walked towards Callum and asked, “What should we do now?”
Callum straightened his sleeves, held her in his arms, and answered the question irrelevantly, “Still feeling uncomfortable?” He noticed that her walking posture was not right.
Hearing his question, Aurelia couldn’t help but blush again. If he hadn’t said it, she didn’t feel it, but as soon as he said it, she could feel that she was still uncomfortable.
After she nodded slightly, she was picked up by him and asked, “Do we need to go to the hospital?”
She stammered in refusal, “No…”
She more or less knew that this was a necessary process for a woman and that she just needed to take a rest.
“Well, I’ll take you home first. I’ll go to the office to take care of some things.”
“Okay.”
What Aurelia didn’t expect was that the hotel entrance was so crowded that the glass door was about to burst due to the pressure from reporters. After all, this was breaking news about Callum!
Previously, any news about Callum was taken down as quickly as possible, and no journalists or companies who filmed the news were spared.
This time not only was the reporter fine, but the most important thing was that ZL Group had not made any response so far, which should be a tacit consent.
Callum appeared in front of the reporters holding Aurelia. Aurelia, who had never seen such a scene, buried her face in Callum’s arms. So, everyone could only see Callum holding a young girl with a bun and a pink and white down jacket.
For a time, the news that Callum had checked into a room with a female college student was confirmed.
Dozens of security guards came over to maintain order and keep some distance between Callum and the reporters.
Aurelia heard the reporters asking questions one after another, all about her identity, their relationship, etc. One reporter even mentioned Laura. “Mr. Finnegan, what is your relationship with Miss Laura?”
“Mr. Finnegan, everyone knows that you were going to a party with Miss Crystal last night. Why did you appear here? Who is the woman in your arms? What is your relationship with her?”
“Mr. Finnegan, are you guys going to get married?”
“Mr. Finnegan, is she the mistress between you and Miss Laura?”
Aurelia was really speechless. When did she become the mistress between Laura and Callum?
Callum kept a cold expression until he reached the front of the car. When he heard the mean question of the reporter, he stopped. A sharp look swept over and the reporter, who asked Aurelia if she was a mistress, was so scared that he almost fell to his knees.
“I’ll say this only once. I’m Laura’s uncle, and the woman in my arms is my woman!”
The last few words made the crowd of reporters excited, and everyone wanted to see what Callum’s woman looked like. But Aurelia’s face was buried in Callum’s arms, so they couldn’t see anything at all.
Callum carried Aurelia into the car smoothly. Rory closed the door and turned to tell the reporter in a formal tone, “What happened today is just Mr. Finnegan’s private matter. I hope everyone will not pay too much attention to it and just focus on ZL Group’s new products! Thank you!”
The car slowly drove away from the crowd. Aurelia stuck her head out until the reporters were no longer visible. She gasped and said, “I’m sorry, Callum. I think I caused you a lot of trouble. If I had known, I wouldn’t have come to book a hotel room!”
Aurelia had never thought that booking a hotel room with her husband would cause such a commotion.
“No, on the contrary, today’s incident will also be beneficial to the launch of ZL Group’s new products.” Callum comforted her.
In fact, Callum never thought of using his personal affairs to hype up ZL Group’s new products. Since things happened this way, he would not explain it or pretend as if nothing had happened.
Aurelia felt relieved to hear him say that.
Back at the villa, Callum walked her to the living room and kissed her on the forehead. “Do you want me to take you to school?”
“No, I’ll ask Tony to take me to school later. Don’t worry about me!”
Her refusal was within his expectations, so he left the villa without saying anything more.
Aurelia returned to her room, changed her clothes again, and packed her textbooks before going to school.
Along the way, she was reading the news and refreshing Twitter. The incident today refreshed Aurelia’s understanding of Callum.
For example, a corporate CEO like Callum was more popular than a movie star. She had been using Twitter for so long, but she had never seen any news about a star’s news that could crash Twitter servers.
There was also a trending topic, which was the photo of Callum carrying her out of the hotel just now. Callum was photographed very clearly, but apart from her figure, nothing else about her was really visible.
The news title caught her attention. “Callum announced that the woman in his arms is his woman.”
Less than half an hour after the news came out, it had hundreds of thousands of comments and likes and was forwarded crazily.
The comments down below were countless. “Mr. Finnegan, I have loved you for so many years. I wish you happiness!”
“Mr. Finnegan is usually too low-key. This breaking news caught me off guard!”
“Oh shit! Mr. Finnegan is so handsome! I want to lick the screen…”
“Callum, I love you. Even if you’re married, I still love you!”
“Mr. Finnegan is so domineering and so handsome! You guys must be a happy couple!”
Aurelia was shocked. It turned out that there were so many people who liked Callum as much as she did. She had so many rivals in love.
