Aurelia stared at Evelyn with cold eyes. “How do you know about my brother? How do you know where my brother is?”
Perhaps because she had been with Callum for a long time, and at this moment, Aurelia’s cold eyes had a little more sharpness than ordinary people. Evelyn was frightened by her momentum again. She just overheard the conversation between her parents. How could she know the details? “Of course I know… Your brother is abroad. He was taken away by your mother’s family.”
Mom… Another taboo in her heart was raised.
Aurelia grabbed Evelyn by the collar and asked viciously, “What else do you know?”
“Let me go! What are you doing, Aurelia? I thought you really changed, but it turns out you were just pretending!” Evelyn pulled her collar back from Aurelia’s hands and adjusted her clothes in dissatisfaction.
Recently, everyone in school had been saying that Aurelia had changed. She knew better than anyone whether Aurelia had changed or not. After all, they had known each other for more than 20 years. Evelyn had to say that Aurelia had indeed changed. Not only had she changed, but she had also become better.
“Speak!” Aurelia ordered coldly.
Evelyn was afraid of her, and answered very reluctantly, “Well… Your grandpa’s family strongly opposed your mother and your father being together, and they took your brother away for this. Less than two months after your mother gave birth to you, she was taken away by your grandpa… I don’t know anything else. “Evelyn only heard these words from her parents. Later, the servants found her. She couldn’t hide and could only pretend that she had just returned home and did not hear the conversation between Vanessa and Frederic.
This simple sentence took Aurelia a long time to digest.
Why didn’t her grandpa let her mom and Niall be together? Even though her mom gave birth to her and her brother, they couldn’t be together?
So was my mother forced not to see her?
When she came to her senses and wanted to continue asking Evelyn other questions, Evelyn spoke first, “Tell me about your relationship with Callum, and then ask me questions.”
“He and I…” No! Evelyn was a blabbermouth, so she said, “What you heard is true. I like Callum.”
Evelyn covered her mouth in shock. “You’re already married, and you still dare to like Mr. Finnegan? Aurelia, you’re cheating on your husband!”
Aurelia glared at her. “Don’t talk nonsense! I like him, but I didn’t cheat on my husband!”
“I do not believe it!”
“I don’t care whether you believe it or not. It’s my turn to ask you a question. Who is my mother?”
“I have no idea…”
Aurelia pressed her with several questions, and Evelyn looked confused. She could see that Evelyn really didn’t know the rest, so she let her go.
Sitting back in the car, Aurelia fell into deep thought.
Should she tell Callum about her brother and ask Callum to help find him?
But she was afraid that Callum would find out everything, including her mother, who her mother was, and why her mother abandoned her and her father.
She was not mentally prepared to face these things yet.
Back at the villa, Aurelia didn’t go in. She just stood in the snow in a daze, her mind full of thoughts about her mother and brother.
Before Niall died, he didn’t tell her anything about her mother, because he was afraid that Aurelia would go looking for her mother.
As for her brother, Niall only told her a name, but what was the use of a name? It was estimated that her brother had never known that he was also named Sheridan until now.
It wasn’t until a beam of car lights hit her that Aurelia looked up and discovered that the car approaching from afar was Callum’s car.
The car stopped and the man got out. He was wearing a knee-length black cashmere coat and leather shoes of the same color. He strode over on the snow and leaned lazily against the door. His exquisite and meticulous attire, from his tie to his shirt, exuded elegance, making him look mature. His every move exuded natural dignity and nobility.
That handsome and cool look once again captured Aurelia’s heart. It was so good to have a handsome husband!
The man came to her, took her hand and brought her into his arms, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, “Why are you standing here on such a cold day?”
Her hands were frozen, so he simply unbuttoned his coat, clasped the woman’s hands around his warm waist, and finally wrapped most of her body with his coat.
In the vast white snow, the two of them were very close, so close that she could clearly hear the man’s heartbeat. Her eyes were moved as she pulled his hand to her lips. The fragrance of his jade-like fingers lingered in her nose. “Callum.”
“Um.”
He smiled like flowers, revealing a faint charm. “Have I ever said it to you?”
“What?”
“I like you so much…” She liked him, starting from the kiss in the bar, from the encounter, and from the experience…
His thick, heroic eyebrows were like the nose wings of a lion, and his pair of blue eyes, like pools of water, were so deep that they seemed to suck people in, enough to attract women’s attention.
Callum’s deep eyes were filled with joy and surprise. He rubbed his nose against her cheek. He pulled her hand and put it on her cheek, his eyes full of emotion. “I like you too, Aurelia.
“Callum.”
“Um?”
“Promise me that you will always be by my side.”
She wanted to let go of the strength in her heart, lean on him tightly, and let him protect her from the wind and rain…
“I promise.”
The next morning, Aurelia was half asleep when she heard a man breathing into her ear, “Sweetie, it’s time to get up and go to the airport.”
