Aurelia nodded, “Rachel’s side…” Her eyes were red and she looked at Callum nervously.
Callum shook his head at her. “Don’t worry about Mom. Just change your clothes first.”
Aurelia gathered herself together, waited until Callum was out, and found a clean pair of pants to change into.
Outside, Callum was looking at Aurelia’s tidied dressing table. He knew that Aurelia had kept it tidy before it was destroyed.
This morning, when she was using skin care products, she was still joking with him, “It’s good to be married to you. I can buy whatever I want. I bought so many cosmetics that I have been eyeing for years. Mr. Finnegan, I will definitely hold on to you tightly. If one day you dump me, there will be no one to buy me cosmetics.”
After applying several layers of makeup on her face, Aurelia couldn’t help but look through all of them and tidy them up one last time.
Callum was helpless. “These aren’t top brands. Why do you treasure them so much?”
Was she too satisfied?
Aurelia held a freshly opened bottle of face cream and answered him happily, “For me, it’s the best! After all, you bought it for me.”
Callum couldn’t help but smile at her words.
He took out his cell phone and called Rory. “Pull up the list of skin care products Aurelia bought at EliteMart last time, and send a few more sets of each.”
“Yes, Mr. Finnegan.”
“Also, let the company’s top overseas brand manufacturer tailor a series of cosmetics for Aurelia in the shortest possible time.”
When Aurelia came out of the cloakroom, Callum had just hung up the phone. When he saw her coming out, he reached out his hand to her.
He placed her hand on his, clasping the two hands together and wrapping her hand around the little hand.
As they walked down the stairs, Aurelia couldn’t help but say, “Did I go too far just now? After all, he is only a four or five-year-old child…”
Callum glanced at her and said truthfully, “Given your temper, I’m surprised you didn’t beat him up, since you just asked for an apology.”
Aurelia was speechless. She held Callum in dissatisfaction, not letting him go. “Do you think I have a bad temper?”
The man curled his lips, his desire to survive was very strong. “Whether it’s good or not, that’s not the point. The point is that you are the woman that I like.”
Aurelia was amused by him, and all the depression in her heart disappeared. “Humph, smooth talker. Forget it. I won’t bother with that little brat!”
Callum gave her a loving look. “You’re really easy to talk to!”
“Rachel is here too. What if she hates me because I’m too stingy? Then I’ll lose more than I gain!” Between tens of thousands of dollars and a mother-in-law who liked her, she of course chose the latter.
“Rest assured. She will not.”
When the two went downstairs, Rachel was talking to Laura, and Nelson, who had caused the trouble, was holding the snacks bought by Aurelia, eating and watching TV, as if nothing had happened just now.
“Aurelia, have you changed your clothes? Come over and sit down!” Rachel patted the seat next to her and called her over.
Aurelia saw that there was nothing unusual about the smile on Rachel’s face, and the tension in her heart relaxed a little.
She had no intention of bringing up what happened just now, but after Callum sat down, he asked Laura, “Will his parents come over in a few minutes?”
Laura didn’t react. “What?”
Callum glanced at Nelson, who was watching cartoons, and said nothing.
Laura understood this time, and her face was a little embarrassed. “I haven’t called his parents yet, Callum. It’s just a few tens of thousands of dollars. Can you…”
She tried to plead for mercy, also for the sake of face.
The Evercrest Four Young Masters always doted on her.
Unexpectedly, Callum’s face immediately darkened, and his tone was slightly impatient. “Call now!”
Laura didn’t expect Callum to get angry with her. She was so embarrassed that she had to take out her cell phone from her bag and flipped through it nervously.
But Aurelia looked at the man in confusion when she heard Callum’s words. “Didn’t we agree not to bother the child?”
Callum lifted his eyes and glanced at her. “You said you didn’t care, but I didn’t say I would let him off the hook.”
How could he let a child upset his wife?
Who dared to bully his wife? This naughty child must be lectured!
Aurelia was stunned.
Rachel, who had not commented on this matter, suddenly spoke up, “Aurelia, listen to Callum on this matter. If Callum doesn’t take good care of this child, he will get into big trouble in the future!”
Rachel’s simple words made Laura, who came with Nelson, blush in embarrassment.
She took her phone, fled to the balcony of the living room, and called Nelson’s mother. “Nelson is in trouble. You need to come to the Finnegan family’s villa now.”
Aurelia didn’t know what was said on the other end. Laura hesitated for a moment before saying, “You have to come over. He offended Callum this time. If I had known, I would not have brought your son here.”
When she heard that her son had offended Callum, Nelson’s mother immediately dropped the meeting and drove over here.
Nelson started crying, because the servant said that he should not eat too much of this kind of snack, and it made him get irritated. No one could comfort him. The whole living room was filled with the sound of the child crying. Aurelia’s head was about to explode.
Because Nelson’s mother had not arrived yet, Laura couldn’t take Nelson away. She had no experience in taking care of children, so she could only watch the maid try every possible way to coax Nelson.
Rachel, who was usually very patient, also looked a little unhappy.
Callum’s face was even gloomier. Seeing Aurelia lowering her head and holding her forehead, he was too lazy to teach the naughty child a lesson. He stood up from his seat, grabbed Nelson’s clothes, and carried him to the door.
Rachel and Laura were startled and quickly chased after him. “Callum!”
Aurelia looked up and saw what was happening, then stood up. At this time, Callum had already opened the door of the villa, threw Nelson into the snow, ignored his crying, and closed the door mercilessly.
Laura tried to open the door, but Callum stopped her. “Leave him alone!”
The man’s face looked very sour. Laura didn’t dare to beg for mercy. She anxiously asked Rachel for help. “Rachel…”
Rachel was not sure if her words would work, so she looked at Aurelia.
Aurelia received Rachel’s gaze and was stunned for a moment.
Was Rachel asking her to persuade Callum? Rachel seemed to know what she was thinking and nodded affirmatively. Aurelia took a deep breath and held Callum’s hand. “Although he is naughty, it is not our turn to educate him. Isn’t his mother coming here soon? It’s not good to see the child being left outside!”
The man didn’t move at all. “If she can’t educate her son well, don’t blame others for educating him for her!” It couldn’t blame Callum. How dare this brat offend his wife? This naughty boy should be thankful that Callum didn’t hang him up and whip him!
