Chapter 48: A Man Challenges
After waiting for a long time, the next class had already started, but Aurelia still didn’t get a reply from him…
On the wide road, a luxury car sped towards ZL Group. The man in the back seat repeatedly looked at the text message with a smile in his eyes.
Jim, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, opened his schedule and began to report his work. “Mr. Finnegan, you need to go to Singapore for a few days tomorrow. There was an accident at the factory there, and it has not been resolved yet…”
At night, Aurelia lay in bed, listening to the noise outside the window, but it was already past twelve o’clock and she still didn’t hear any car sounds.
Is Callum angry? Is he really not coming back?
Was she going too far? This was clearly his property, but she kicked him out.
Ouch… she’s going crazy.
Pulling out his phone, he sent another text to Callum, “Mr Finnegan.”
This time, the other side quickly replied with one word, “Yeah.”
Seeing this, she suddenly didn’t know what to say. After hesitating for a while, she said, “Where are you?”
“Company.” He had just arrived at the branch in Singapore and was preparing to deal with things.
Aurelia misunderstood and thought he was still in Evercrest’s company and really didn’t plan to come back because of her text message. “Well, today I… don’t blame me. Who told you to ignore me? Otherwise, why don’t you come back now? At worst, I won’t show up in front of you.”
Because of her nervousness, she was a little incoherent. She wanted to apologize, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Callum looked at the message and knew without thinking how conflicted she was. He couldn’t help laughing. How could this woman be so cute?
However, he couldn’t go back now, so he only replied her with three words, “Go to bed early.”
Aurelia covered her head with the quilt in frustration. How could this grown man be so stingy? She had sent him a message on her own initiative, but he still refused to come back.
Before she fell asleep, Aurelia was still thinking, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t come back, she has already apologized…
Aurelia spent two days in anxiety because she didn’t see Callum for two days. Callum’s class at school was also postponed, and the specific start time will be announced later.
Knowing that Callum was on a business trip because of Alfred, Aurelia asked about the exact time Callum left and gnashed her teeth at him again.
When she messaged him that night, he had already arrived in Singapore, but he didn’t tell her the truth.
She blamed herself for two days, this damn bastard!
I had planned to go shopping with Cathy and Liana, but I didn’t go that night because I had something else to do.
Aurelia didn’t go to EliteMart until today. She thought of the man who made her grit her teeth and used his card to buy several sets of clothes and cosmetics without any hesitation.
After absentmindedly paying for the cosmetics, Cathy asked Aurelia mysteriously, “You’ve been acting a little strange lately. You’ve been putting on makeup and buying clothes and cosmetics. The style of your clothes is different from before. Aurelia, are you really in love?”
“…” Aurelia looked at the fashion in her handbag, shook her head, and told Cathy seriously, “Believe me, I’m not in love, I’m really excited!”
Being challenged by a man and rejected, she even wondered how bad she was?
“Okay, okay, everyone is free tonight, why don’t we get together?” Tomorrow is Saturday, and there are no classes.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
After several people agreed to meet in the Pudong villa area, Aurelia and the other two left the counter and prepared to go to the supermarket to buy some food and drinks for the evening.
When she reached the elevator, Aurelia accidentally saw a man and a woman on the LED screen where the advertisement was placed.
Aidan, dressed in an off-white dress, holds the arm of the man next to her in a dark blue suit and smiles sweetly at the camera.
The host’s voice fell into Aurelia’s ears, “Mr. Finnegan and Miss Monroe are a perfect match!”
Aidan didn’t say much after hearing this, he just smiled at the host. Silence was the best response at the moment.
Cathy shook Aurelia’s arm and she pointed at the big screen excitedly, “Isn’t that Mr. Finnegan? The woman next to him… why is it Aidan again? Could it be that they are really going to get married soon?”
Liana was still lamenting, “That Aidan is really not worthy of Mr. Finnegan! Mr. Finnegan is not only handsome, but also a talented man. Aidan is really lucky!”
Aurelia, “…”
Her good mood was shattered by this scene. She gritted her teeth and glared at the man who looked like a decent person. She despised him in her heart. He had Sweetie at home, but he was still messing around outside. Ugh! What a scumbag!
Cathy accidentally saw Aurelia’s big eye roll and said helplessly, “Aurelia, don’t hate Mr. Finnegan so much! Although there is an ill fate between you two, at least there is a destiny, right? Unlike us, we don’t even have an ill fate with Mr. Finnegan!”
“…”
The people who came to the villa tonight were still these few people, Briar, Larry, Liana, Cathy and Aurelia.
They had been here several times before Callum moved back, so when they arrived at the villa, everyone was familiar with it.
Aurelia asked Mary to go back first, and the few of them ate and sang at home, having a great time.
It was past ten in the evening. The five of them drank dozens of cans of beer and the living room was in a mess. Aurelia and Cathy were singing The Phoenix, while Liana and Larry were hiding in the corner of the sofa and whispering to each other. Seeing this, Briar, a single man, kicked Larry in the leg and said, “If you continue to show your affection in public, I will break you up!”
Larry kicked him back and yelled, “I’ve been single for over 20 years and finally found a girlfriend. If you dare to break us up , I’ll cling to you for the rest of my life!”
Briar got goose bumps when she heard that and rubbed her arms.
“Hahahaha!” Liana laughed happily.
The five people were all drinking beer, and they were so drunk that they couldn’t stand steadily. Just when Aurelia didn’t sit properly and fell into Briar’s arms, the two of them were hitting each other, and the door of the villa was pushed open without warning.
In the scene where you hit me and I hit you, in the eyes of others, it seems like flirting…
The man suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight, and the other four people all jumped up from the sofa. Only Aurelia sat on the sofa and touched her hair. She didn’t react for a while, and muttered, “How could it be Callum!” She had already asked around, and he would be back in two days from his business trip!
She must have drunk too much.
The man at the door was wearing a black suit and a vest of the same color, with his jacket draped over his arm. He glanced coldly at the messy living room.
Jim behind him looked at the woman who stood up from the sofa in astonishment. It was over. Mr. Finnegan rushed back from Singapore, but the first thing he saw was this scene…
