Chapter 28 I Misunderstood You
Matthew’s expression was slightly unnatural.
Perhaps he felt awkward about what he was about to say.
Since they had arrived at Starry Sea Mansion, Aurelia was in no hurry. She quietly waited for him to speak.
“I apologize for today’s events. I didn’t consider things thoroughly and misunderstood you.”
Matthew’s inherently composed voice seemed incongruous when expressing such apologies,
He had misunderstood her ambiguous involvement with Curtis, and indeed, she was somewhat angry.
However, now that she had heard him apologize, her anger had completely dissipated. “It’s okay. In fact, we could go to City Hall tomorrow to file for divorce, and after a one–month cooling– off period, we could get our divorce certificate. Even if we’re divorced, we can still keep it from Grandma. I would still visit and take care of her frequently
Aurelia thought that this could be a solution that satisfied everyone.
Matthew furrowed his brows. “The moment we step into City Hall to file for divorce, Grandma. will know right away. So, let’s stick to our original agreeme
Aurelia blinked, looking at him slyly, and teased, “Aren’t you afraid that I might actually set my sights on you and Quigley Group? What if, within three yea
Does he really think I don’t have a temper?
I said it doesn’t matter, but that doesn’t mean he can simply call off the agreement if he wishes or continue it
at his whim.
Does he think I didn’t notice that he guards against me as if guarding against a thief?
Is he afraid that I might inadvertently steal his heart?
A hint of unnatural embarrassment graced Matthew’s handsome face. “There’s no way I’ll fall in love with you, so keep your hopes in check. On the day t will be missing from the ten million promised to you in the contract.”

Aurelia shrugged. “Out of respect for Old Mrs. Quigley, I’ll let it slide this time. But if continue to slander me without understanding the full story, then we w
The expression on Matthew’s face grew serious. “All right.”
After their conversation ended, the two seemed to share an unspoken understanding. They alighted from the car together and returned to the mansion.
Aurelia was somewhat hungry. She hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so she headed toward the kitchen. Politely, she asked Matthew, “I’m hungry and about to ma
Matthew’s footsteps halted on the staircase as he ascended.
He looked toward Aurelia.
Caught off guard, Aurelia found herself locked in a gaze with Matthew.
With a swift shift of his gaze, Matthew said, “Sure, thank you.”
“Let’s meet downstairs in half an hour, then.” After Aurelia withdrew her gaze, she sighed inwardly. He’s indeed very handsome!
Possessing an aura of noble detachment, often referred to as the allure of restraint, and complemented by his decisive and unyielding conduct in the cor
Unfortunately, he exhibited a degree of narcissism.
Aurelia grumbled inwardly, but her hands didn’t stop rummaging through the refrigerator.
She took out some tomatoes and eggs.
Unfortunately, there was no fresh pasta.
I’ll make some risoni soup, then. Having a bowl at this time not only warms the stomach but also ensures a light load on the digestive system.

From a young age, she watched Phyllis cook. When she was little, she would often get in the trying to help, but as she grew older and observed more, s
Half an hour later, Matthew descended from the upstairs. A tantalizing aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
He went to the kitchen and when he saw two bowls of something that resembled a paste, already served from the pot, his face showed confusion. He re
Is the pasta overcooked?
“There’s still one bowl left in the pot. If it’s not enough, you can have another,” Aurelia kindly reminded him as she noticed him looking at the bowl.
“Is the pasta overcooked?” Matthew voiced out his inner doubt.
Aurelia couldn’t help but laugh. “This is risoni soup.”
Looks like he has never tasted risoni soup before. Indeed, if he wants to eat, all sorts of exquisite dishes will be

Matthew carried the bowl to the dining table. Risoni soup?
It was still hot.
Finished
He didn’t have many food preferences, and he was somewhat resistant to eating things with at mushy texture.
Aurelia savored the soup, taking it in one spoonful at a time. Although the ingredients were simple, it didn’t compromise the deliciousness.
Seeing that, Matthew picked up the spoon and took a very small sip. After that small sip, het continued to take spoonful after spoonful.
In no time at all, Matthew went back to the kitchen, and when he came out, his empty bowl was full again.
Aurelia didn’t eat much, and after drinking a bowl of soup, she felt somewhat full.
She stood up to fetch her bag, from which she pulled out a jewelry box. It contained the ring that Mabel had given her in the hospital.
She placed it in front of Matthew.
“You should keep the ring.”
Although the ring was beautiful, so beautiful that she wished to claim it as her own, it did not belong to her. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
It belonged to the woman who would eventually become Matthew’s true wife.
Matthew gazed at the jewelry box handed over by Aurelia, the image of her hand adorned with the ring at the hospital earlier floated before his eyes. Her
Apart from her, no one else was suitable to wear the ring.
“Grandma gave it to you, so it’s yours.”
“It’s too precious. Grandma thought we were married for real. She’s giving it to her granddaughter–in– law, not me.” Aurelia felt her willpower was stronger than before, as she was able to refuse a diamond ring worth a hundred million.
Matthew looked up at Aurelia. “Grandma gave it to you. She wouldn’t have given it to anyone else. Just accept it.”
“All right, I’ll put it away first.”
Aurelia promptly put away the ring.
Perhaps he will regret it one day, and I can return it to him at that time.

Early the next morning, Aurelia hurried to the hospital.
Finished
When she left the house, it was six in the morning. At this time, Matthew should still be asleep, so she sent him a message.
She arrived at the hospital at seven, and at that time, there weren’t many people there.
However, this private hospital usually didn’t have too many patients.
When she arrived at the hospital, Mabel was having breakfast. She looked much better than the previous night. After spending over an hour chatting with
While she was on the road, Matthew responded to her message with a single “okay.”
She wasn’t too bothered about it.
As she was nearing the antique street, Charlie gave her a call.
“Auri, did you see the post Curtis shared on his Instagram?”
“I’m driving and not looking at my phone. What’s the matter?”
Charlie was so angry that he was gritting his teeth. “I’m so infuriated! Didn’t Xavier say that you broke up with him? Is he itching for a beating? If it wasn’t
“Don’t get angry at a sc*mbag. I’ll stop the car to see what he posted.”
