Chapter 68 A Scar Left on the Heart
“Who is Uncle Finnegan?” Liam asked slowly.
Aurelia casually responded, “No one, what’s up?”
“I’ve been in Evercrest for a few days now, and I happen to have some free time tonight, so I’d like to treat you to dinner.”
“Oh, sorry, I’m not in Evercrest right now. I’m out having fun.”
Liam was surprised that Aurelia was not in Evercrest. Then he realized that Aurelia had liked traveling for a long time. She had been to many more places than he had.
“It’s okay. How about this, after I finish my work these two days, I’ll take you to England for a trip at the beginning of next month, okay?”
Aurelia refused without a second thought, “No, I’m very busy lately. I have to attend various classes every day. The time to go out and play is… squeezed out.”
It was really a time that was squeezed out of my teeth. After I go back, there will definitely be endless dance classes, yoga classes, and German classes…
“Aurelia, you lied to me. Others may not know this, but I know that you hate studying the most! Don’t use class as a pretext to fool me!”
“… No, Liam, that was only in the past. Now I’ve signed up for yoga, dance, German, advanced math, etc. Also… I don’t learn martial arts anymore.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for half a minute. “Aren’t you going to give up learning martial arts? My mom and I asked you to give up martial arts at the beginning, why didn’t you agree? Why are you giving up now all of a sudden?”
And that long list of classes she was talking about, all of which she hated.
Aurelia smiled, “I don’t need to protect you now!” How could she protect him if she didn’t study martial arts well at that time? Oh! And his weak sister.
Indeed, she fell in love when she was 16 and was with Liam for two years until they broke up a few days before she turned 18. She was with him for two years and protected him and his sister like a tomboy for two years.
In the end, he still mocked her for being unfeminine, huh!
Liam’s heart tightened, and he apologized in a low voice, with infinite guilt in his voice, “I’m sorry Aurelia, it was my fault before. I didn’t treat you well and didn’t cherish you well. In the past three years, I regret it, I regret it very much…”
What he said was true. He had been around many women in the past three years, but he could never find another woman who loved him as wholeheartedly as Aurelia did.
She couldn’t cook, so she bought and delivered meals to him.
She has a lively personality, but tries to be quiet in front of his mother for his sake.
She was good at martial arts and he came from a wealthy family. Every time he was kidnapped or got into trouble, she would do her best to protect him and prevent him from getting hurt.
She couldn’t drink much, but she was willing to drink for him, and she raised her own alcohol tolerance from one or two jin to one or two jin…
…
The kindness she showed him was so great that he couldn’t count it all in one night.
He once missed that silly girl, but now that he is back, he must find her back, hold her tightly in his hands, and never let go.
“Liam, it’s too late, really.” Every time she mentioned his name, she would feel pain. After all, she had been hurt by him and there was a scar on her heart, but that was all.
There was nothing but pain.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
She casually passed by a dessert shop, where delicious desserts were placed in the glass cabinet. Durian-flavored mille-feuille, snow meringue, and cake were her favorites. In the past, every time she ate these, Liam would dislike them, saying that they tasted disgusting and that she would get fat after eating them. He even told her explicitly not to eat these in front of him.
And that night, Callum… She could tell that Callum also hated the strange-tasting durian. But even though he hated it, he was willing to eat it with her.
Also, for the desserts we had on the fifth floor of Alioth that day, someone had arranged in advance for durian pastry and durian pancakes.
Callum is several years older than her, and it must be said that he is much more thoughtful than her. Even on the dining table at home, durian-flavored desserts or dishes will appear from time to time.
On the first night, she sneaked into his room and was discovered by him instantly. After that, she was never found sneaking into his room again. Now that I think about it carefully, it’s not that he didn’t notice it, but he probably let her sneak into his room and his bed on purpose.
How did Liam’s sister treat her before?
It was Liam’s birthday, and it was too late at night, so she didn’t go back. She slept alone in the guest room, and there were thunder and lightning in the middle of the night. She was too scared to fall asleep, and she couldn’t go to find Liam… So, she knocked on Alice Moore’s door.
Before she lay down, Alice pushed her out impatiently, locked the door, and warned her not to disturb her sleep again.
…
Suddenly, Aurelia found that she missed Callum.
The man who is so domineering that he is annoying, so straight that he has male chauvinism, and so strong that he is hateful.
Aurelia then hung up the phone without giving Liam a chance to speak. Looking at the missed call on her phone, she decided that if Callum called again, she would definitely answer.
However, she had only been in JN City for two days, and Callum hadn’t called her again…
After dinner on the third night, Aurelia rubbed her bloated belly and walked into a jade shop. Under the dim light, she pointed at a peace locket and said, “Boss, let me see this.”
The bald, fat, and big-eared shop owner grinned, “Okay, girl, the jade we have here is guaranteed to be A-grade, and this peace locket is even more exquisite.”
“Oh, how much is this?”
“Not expensive, not expensive, twenty-eight thousand!”
“……” This is asking for blood. Aurelia knows a little bit about jade. She held the peace locket under the light, and it was not transparent at all, but she still wanted 28, 000.
Put the peace locket down and say, “Let me take another look.”
When the shop owner saw her turn around, his expression immediately changed and he said fiercely, “Hey, girl, how can you not buy it after seeing it?”
Aurelia is a bit confusing. “Why should I buy it just because I see it? If I don’t like it, of course I won’t buy it.” What kind of logic is this?
The shop owner slammed the table twice, “If you don’t want to buy it, what are you looking at? You must buy it today!”
“Oh, you’re forcing me to buy something!” She observed the environment inside the store. Not far away, at an octagonal table, there were four wretched-looking men playing mahjong. When she met their eyes, Aurelia had a bad feeling.
“It’s just forced buying and selling! Hurry up and give me the money! 28, 000, not a cent less!” The shop owner could tell from her dress that she was wealthy. He was ready to rip her off and then let her go.
When faced with something like this, Aurelia just wanted to get away as quickly as possible, so she didn’t say anything more to him and turned around and walked out of the store.
But the shop owner took out a remote control from the side and locked the automatic door. “If you don’t buy anything today, don’t even think about leaving!”
Aurelia’s temper flared up. She rushed over and grabbed the owner’s collar, warning him fiercely, “Open the door!”
