“I was obsessed with the throne back then, but I can’t keep being wrong now.” Martin looked up, his gaze glowing
with forbearance and determination. “No matter the price, I must ask Rowan Irwin to heal Helene!
“I’ll find that child and reunite them!”
…
After the attack in the palace, Cordelia took Aurelia home to rest and heal her wound.
Aurelia felt embarrassed as she felt it was only a light injury. However, in Cordelia’s eyes, if Aurelia had not stepped
forth, that fork would have ended up on her son. This made Aurelia their savior.
“Just stay here and relax!” Cordelia said, “Aren’t you preparing for university? It’s spacious and quiet here. We have
lots of books at home. You can revise in peace!
“As for your job at the tailor’s, the chauffeur can send you to work if you want to keep working there. If you don’t
want to work there anymore and feel bad about staying here, then…”

“Think nothing!” A deep voice suddenly came from the door.
Neil entered with both hands in his pants pockets. He came against the light like a god of war from a mythical story.
“Think nothing?” Cordelia glanced at him. “Is Aurelia going to stay with you?”
Neil’s eyes sparkled as he agreed seriously, “This is a great idea!”
“You…”
“I’m not going anywhere.” Aurelia pouted.
She was a little touched seeing Neil fussing over her these few days due to her injuries, but she kept thinking back
to him flirting with Millie in the palace that day… and jealousy washed over her.
She did not want to be bothered with him now.
“Not going anywhere?” Neil frowned. “Then what are you going to do? Continue staying with that shabby tailor?”
“That’s not a shabby tailor!” Aurelia glared at him. “That’s my workplace. Please have some respect!”
Neil was taken aback.
Aurelia continued to speak seriously as she stared at him, “And I’m not staying at the tailor’s. I’ve rented a place.
Cordelia’s helped me rent it when I just came here. I have some savings now, and I can pay the rent myself, so I’m
going to keep living there!”
Neil was astonished by her retorts. How dare the girl talk to him like this!?
“I’m working and studying, and I can totally arrange my time well. You don’t need to worry!” Aurelia glanced at him.
“Uncle, if you have too much energy, you can ask about the award-winning actress and stuff. Why bother with me?
“Also, you’ve asked me not to hope for you to be bothered with me once I’m in Southeast Aciatic! I hope you keep
your word!”
Neil’s eyes were bulging, and his face was turning red. He pointed a finger at her. “You brat…”
“Oh, right, this one too!” Aurelia caught his wrist and slid the silver ring off his ring finger smoothly before he could
react.

“You—”
“Alright, we’re done now!” Aurelia jutted her chin and grinned mischievously. “Bye, uncle!”
After that, she ran off like a swoop of wind, leaving Neil baffled. Cordelia was giggling hard.
“Goodness, how did you offend her?” Cordelia asked Neil after she was done laughing. “I heard her say something
about an actress? She didn’t catch you flirting with Millie, did she?”
“When have I flirted with Millie!?” Neil wanted to hit someone.
A hug and a handshake were normal courtesy gestures! Aurelia had grown up in Chaiseland. Had she never seen
it!?
“You really don’t know women.” Cordelia shook her head. “Forget a hug and a handshake. She’d be upset even if
you so much as glanced at someone one more time!”
“So… she must’ve reacted like this because I’m in her heart, right?”
Cordelia was rendered speechless. “What do you think?”
Neil was in glee again.
“But this brat doesn’t want to say a thing! Don’t you think she’s infuriating?
