Chapter 134 He is walking the dog outside
Cathy didn’t give Aurelia a chance to speak and continued gossiping, “Everyone says Laura is going to be in trouble. Before, it was her that the Evercrest Four Young Masters defended, but now it’s you. And Callum even distanced himself from the relationship in the media, saying that they are just uncle and nephew. She didn’t even attend the party last night. There are too many gossips …”
Aurelia was full of admiration, “Aren’t they usually very busy? How do they still have time to gossip?” No wonder many of her classmates looked at her differently after she came to school this morning.
Many of them want to get close to her, but are afraid to do so.
Cathy waved her hands. “They all think you rely on Elliot, Alex, and Liam, but they don’t know that you actually rely on even more powerful people. If everyone knew that your real identity is Madam of the Finnegan Clan… tsk tsk tsk, the sky of Evercrest would probably fall!”
The three words “Callum” can kill everything in Evercrest. Madam of the Finnegan Clan may be even more powerful, after all, she is the woman who took in a man named Callum…
Aurelia could only believe half of what Cathy said. Sometimes she spoke like Briar, liking to exaggerate .
After class in the afternoon, Aurelia received a call from Liam, “I’m not busy today, shall we go out for dinner together?”
Aurelia shook her head, “No, thank you Mr Moore, I have classes tonight.”
“Aurelia, do you have to be so distant with me?” Liam’s suppressed voice came from the other side.
Aurelia answered affirmatively, “Well, I’m married, I want to avoid suspicion, Mr. Moore, if it’s all right, I’ll hang up first.”
She really couldn’t understand when Liam became so persistent.
However, just as she and Cathy reached the school gate, a sapphire blue Porsche attracted the attention of many classmates, including the man who was half leaning against the car and talking on the phone – Liam.
Seeing Aurelia, Liam hung up the phone and walked towards her.
Cathy nudged Aurelia, “Your ex-boyfriend is looking for you!”
Aurelia saw it, and took Cathy’s arm and tried to avoid Liam, but the man strode up to them and blocked their way.
Many people saw this scene. Aurelia, who has been the talk of the town recently, was once again the subject of heated discussion among her classmates.
Liam told Cathy in a gentlemanly manner, “Miss Mike, excuse me, I have something to do with Aurelia. Shall I ask the driver to take you home first?”
Of course Cathy could hear the meaning behind his words. She ignored Liam and glanced at Aurelia who had a blank expression on her face.
Aurelia said helplessly, “Liam, there’s nothing much to talk about between us. I have things to do later.”
Liam was unmoved by her refusal and said gently, “I know you’re still mad at me, Aurelia, so give me a chance to apologize, okay?”
Aurelia took a deep breath and told Cathy, “You go back first! We’ll see you tomorrow!”
Cathy glanced at Liam warily, “Aurelia is a married woman now, Mr. Moore, please respect yourself.”
Liam was not angry either, he just smiled faintly and remained silent.
Cathy left, Aurelia got into Liam’s car, and the two of them sat in the back seat together.
San Rafael
Evercrest is one of the best French restaurants. Aurelia looked at the high-end decoration of the restaurant and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. In the past two years, not only she has changed, but also Liam.
When they were together before, they never brought Aurelia to such a high-end restaurant.
Liam held Aurelia’s arm and they walked into the restaurant together after being greeted by the restaurant manager.
The manager took them to a window seat, and before they sat down, they saw two acquaintances. They seemed to have just arrived, and they were with a young boy.
These two people were so familiar with each other that Aurelia’s face changed immediately.
She heard Laura introduce the boy with her own ears, “This is my boyfriend, Callum…”
The boy’s face was pale, and it was obvious that he had suffered a great blow. He trembled for a long time, and finally only managed two words, “Sit down.”
Liam also saw the outstanding couple, but he didn’t notice Aurelia’s expression. He whispered to Aurelia, “I saw someone I know. I’ll take you there.”
Before Aurelia could say anything, Liam took her over to greet the man who was about to sit down with Laura, “Mr Finnegan, what a coincidence.”
Callum turned around and didn’t react when he saw Liam. When he saw the woman next to Liam, his face changed slightly.
His eyes fell on Aurelia and never moved away, Callum responded to Liam calmly, “Mr Moore, what a coincidence.”
Laura didn’t expect to see Aurelia and Liam here and was obviously surprised.
When she and Aurelia met eyes, Laura put her arm around Callum’s as if she didn’t know them. She stood beside him silently like an obedient girlfriend and nodded politely to Liam.
Aurelia glanced coldly at Laura’s hand. What made her particularly angry was that Callum didn’t even move away!
Liam had met Callum several times before, but never talked to him. He thought Callum had something against him. Until this moment, Liam felt that he was overthinking.
Not noticing the strange atmosphere around him, he continued, “Mr. Finnegan, I heard that you were going to Country H to participate in a tender, so why are you back at this time?”
The tender that Callum participated in was basically known to the entire business community. Because the funds involved were so huge, many companies also participated in it.
Why are you back now? Callum glanced at the little woman whose eyes were about to spit fire. It was because of her words that she missed him…
Before Callum could speak, Aurelia tugged at Liam’s sleeve and said, “Mr Finnegan and his girlfriend seem to be so close, he must have come back to be with his girlfriend! Let’s go eat, the manager has been waiting for a long time.”
Liam knew Aurelia was impatient, so when he heard her getting anxious, he ended the small talk with Callum, “Mr Finnegan, you go ahead and we’ll sit over there.”
Callum nodded without saying a word.
Aurelia turned around first and walked to the seat assigned by the manager, which was really next to Callum and Laura. The two ordered dinner. Aurelia, who was absent-mindedly drinking tea, heard Liam ask, “Where’s your husband? Why didn’t he pick you up from get out of class?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Aurelia rolled her eyes and answered slightly louder, “My husband , oh, he’s out walking the dog!”
Then she clearly heard a cry from the next table, “Laura, are you okay?”
The voice should be the boy sitting with Laura.
Liam was a little confused by Aurelia’s words and asked in confusion , “Dog? Is it so important? More important than you?”
