Chapter 94 How Can You Not Guess It

Rainier firmly gripped the shopping cart and stared at Aurelia, much like a predator eyeing its prey.

“Let me help you.”

“Rainier…” The girl’s expression changed when she saw Rainier attentively fussing over Aurelia.

The man who had promised to spend the entire day with her now only had eyes for other women.

She had a strong sense of crisis, as Aurelia was even more beautiful than her.

Rainier glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye and said perfunctorily. “You go ahead and look

around first.”

Of the people Aurelia encountered at the club that day, the one she disliked the most was Rainier.

He was inherently a flirtatious and lustful man. Coupled with the ring he wore, it was inevitable that Rainier would eventually meet his end at the hands of a woman.

Suddenly, she seized Rainier’s arm and grip it hard.

“I said I can do it myself.”

After she finished speaking, Rainier reacted as if he had been electrocured, his whole body jolting up.

He managed to stifle an outcry of pain, or else it would have alarmed numerous individuals.

However, it still startled the girl.

“Rainier?”

What’s going on? What’s with his huge reaction?

Aurelia seized the opportunity and pushed her shopping cart into the elevator leading to the underground parking lot, looking as if she wasn’t the one who had just pressed Rainier’s acupoints, causing him to jump around.

By the time Rainier reacted, it was already too late. He could only watch as Aurelia entered the elevator.

His handsome face was grim and sullen.

“One day, I will have you! Do you really think your value has increased just because you’re with Matthew?” Rainier said through gritted teeth.

He was certain he could win over the woman he had set his sights on.

Upon hearing Rainier’s words, the girl felt incredibly aggrieved. “Rainier… don’t you like me anymore? Didn’t you promise me today that we would have a good time strolling around? After the supermarket, weren’t we supposed to visit the mall as well?”

Knowing that there were many women around Rainier, the girl didn’t mind.

She simply felt a slight discomfort in her heart.

“Get lost!”

After leaving the supermarket, Aurelia first went to the hospital to visit Chad.

Chad looked at the oversized lollipop in her hand and was amused. “I’m not a child anymore.”

A wave of bitterness instantly overwhelmed his heart. In her eyes, am I just a child?

He had intended to ask her if she liked him, but the words got stuck in his throat. He was afraid she would say she saw him as a child, a little brother.

Aurelia said with a smile, “You are in my eyes. I specifically chose this for you. Look, it’s a motorcycle- shaped lollipop.”

Chad was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. “Aurelia, I’m really not a child anymore. There’s a bunch of girls who want to be my girlfriend.”

“All right, all right, all right, as the patient, you’re the boss here. The doctor probably won’t allow you to have a lollipop right now. Keep it safe and eat it once you’re discharged from the hospital,” Aurelia said in a tone one would use to coax a child.

Chad felt that he was probably in for a long journey if he wanted to pursue her.

Uncle Jeremy claimed that me and Aurelia couldn’t be together. I will prove him wrong and show him that we can be together. I am certain that I will win Aurelia’s heart!

After leaving the hospital, Aurelia drove straight back to Starry Sea Mansion.

When she arrived, it was two in the afternoon.

She began preparing the dishes in the kitchen.

Time quietly slipped away.

In the midst of it all, she received a call from Charlie. Charlie explained that there had been some mix–up at the manor. Somehow, he had ended up staying

in the mansion the previous night. The director and the rest of the crew were all trying to curry favor with him that day, allowing him to bask in the feeling of being complimented and admired.

Moreover, seeing Spencer’s contorted expression, he felt utterly thrilled.

“But I’m worried that my good days will come to an end once the butler realizes his mistake.”

Aurelia couldn’t discuss the specifics with Charlie, so she simply told him that he was lucky and not to

worry.

Perhaps it was because he often did good deeds, and someone just happened to want to seize the opportunity to repay him.

From childhood to adulthood, Charlie had always been warm–hearted, often lending a helping hand to the elderly.

Such a possibility was not non–existent.

Charlie was clearly skeptical, but he remained absolutely optimistic. “Hahaha. it doesn’t matter if it’s a

mistake. What’s important is that these past few days have been fantastic!”

Soon. Aurelia had already washed and chopped all the vegetables she needed and had also prepared and marinated the meat.

After checking the time, she made a call to Matthew,

“When do you think you’ll get home?”

Matthew was playing basketball with a few friends. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and glanced at the time. “I’m heading home now. I should be home in about an hour.”

Matthew then said to Jeremy and the others, “I’ll take my leave first.“

“Why are you leaving so early? Stay for another hour,” Jeremy said.

It was a rare opportunity that they managed to gather together to play ball.

Matthew shook his head. “I have plans tonight.”

Noticing the smile on Matthew’s lips, Jeremy immediately guessed, “Going home?”

“Yeah.”

Jeremy asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you say you don’t like her? The way you’re acting doesn’t seem to suggest that,”

Matthew put away the smile on his lips. “You don’t understand.”

Then, he strode away.

Jeremy raised an eyebrow. Who is it who doesn’t understand?

As soon as Matthew returned to Starry Sea Mansion and opened the door, he was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of food.

Perhaps he was tired from playing ball, as his stomach had been growling on the way back.

Upon arriving home and catching the enticing aroma of food, he felt even hungrier.

He noticed that many dishes had already been arranged on the table.

Although her culinary skills couldn’t rival those of a five–star restaurant’s chef, and her plating wasn’t as exquisite, her dishes exuded a comforting, homely flavor. He had tasted her cooking a few times. It was simple yet delicious, and each time, he could always eat a bit more than usual.

After playing basketball all afternoon and burning quite a few calories, he reckoned it wouldn’t hurt to eat a bit more tonight.

As Aurelia placed the well–prepared grilled fish on the table, she noticed Matthew had already returned. “You’re back!”

He had returned ten minutes early.

She still b

had two dishes in prenare which wouldn’t be ready until ten minutes later

“The journey back was rather smooth.” Matthew flashed a slight smile.

He seemed to be in a good mood today.

Aurelia smiled as well. “There are two more dishes. Just give me another ten minutes.”

“All right, don’t rush.” Matthew nodded.

There were nearly twenty dishes on the table.

The portion size of each dish wasn’t large, so even though there were over twenty vaneties, it didn’t seem like the two of them would waste any

Ten minutes later, Aurelia finished preparing the last two dishes.

She peeked out from the kitchen and asked, “Mr. Quigley, what would you like to drink? We have red wine, and there are also some beverages in the refrigerator.”

“Red wine.

“All right.”

An hour later, Aurelia’s cheeks were faintly flushed. She was overwhelmed by the potency of the alcohol and hadn’t expected to get drunk on red wine. Her eyes, hazy from the intoxication, were fixed on Matthew in front of her.

Matthew was slightly tipsy, but this amount of alcohol was nothing to him.

He had known before that Aurelia couldn’t hold her liquor, but now it seemed, she really couldn’t drink at all.

She would get drunk with just a touch of alcohol.

In her current state of inebriation, she seemed vulnerable, radiating an innocent allure and charm. Her lips, shimmering with the glass of red wine, were captivatingly attractive. As if seized by a sudden realization, she nibbled on her lower lip, making her look all the more seductive.

“Don’t just drink with others in the future,” Matthew said, his voice slightly deep.

Aurelia was feeling a bit rebellious. Especially now that she had been drinking and her mind was slow and not functioning well, her rebelliousness was even more pronounced. “No, I want to drink with others. You will be shocked if I tell you my alcohol tolerance.”

“Your alcohol tolerance?” Matthew couldn’t help but laugh.

You think you can shock me with your low tolerance for alcohol?

Aurelia raised a finger. “Can you guess what this means?”

Matthew’s gaze fell upon it. “Olt? What does it mean?”

The inebriated Aurelia was akin to a languid kitten.

“The answer is so obvious. How can you
