Chapter 287
Aurelia looked at Leslie besitantly.
It seemed that she didn’t have the right to question his relationship with other women.
However, although they had signed a cohabitation agreement, the marriage certificate was real
Maybe Leslie didn’t care about this marriage, but she couldn’t afford not to care. She didn’t want to end
up being treated like the other woman.
She was a determined woman, and if she could let go of her three–year relationship with Seth, she
could part ways with Leslie just as easily.
Despite what she thought, the thought of separating from Leslie made her throat feel inexplicably tight.
Still, her reason reminded her not to indulge in hopeless dreams.
Finally, she voiced her doubts. “Mr. Synder, why were you so late?”
Aurelia chose a more tactful question.
If she directly asked about the woman, it would appear as if she had ulterior motives.
If Leslie chose to deceive her, then no matter how many questions she asked, he would still come up
with various reasons to deflect her question. And there would be no point in asking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe would find the right time to part ways with him, if that was the case.
Leslie stared at her with a penetrating gaze for a long time without saying anything.
Aurelia lowered her head silently.
Leslie probably felt that she had overstepped the boundaries, and she felt conflicted. She had no idea.
how to continue the conversation.
Then, Leslie suddenly said, “You want to ask about the relationship between me and my female
colleague, right?”
“Yes,” Aurelia said, nodding in confusion. Her eyes suddenly widened. “Huh? I just… I didn’t mean
anything by it. I just heard about her from the others, so I’m just curious.”
She hadn’t expected Leslie to be so blunt, so she had instinctively nodded earlier. Now she found
herself struggling to explain herself.
“Why are you suddenly so concerned about her?” Leslie asked as he approached Aurelia. She became
even more embarrassed.
She stepped back and leaned against the edge of the table.. Her eyes darted around, and finally she
focused her gaze on the hem of her dress.

“I–I just think that you shouldn’t disappoint a woman who’s Important to you. I can…”
“What are you talking about?” Leslie asked, frowning in displeasure.
It was rather unexpected that he had married a woman who was generous enough to let another
woman have her husband.
Aurelia looked up and was about to repeat herself. But when she met Leslie’s eyes, she suddenly lost
her courage.
“Hm?” Leslie’s voice was low and dripping with displeasure.
“Nothing. I’m just curious. Mr. Synder, do you like-”
Before she could finish speaking, he glared at her, and she didn’t dare to continue.
Leslie said, “She’s just a female colleague. She suffered from anaphylactic shock after eating some
nuts, and I had to rush her to the hospital.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia was taken aback
“Anaphylactic shock? Is she okay now?”
He nodded and said, “Yeah. The driver sent her home.”
Aurelia gave an awkward hum in reply and wondered who this woman was to Leslie.
For Leslie to specifically pick her up from the airport, she had to be someone special, right?
However, she couldn’t bring herself to ask any more questions.
Leslie saw through her thoughts and explained, “We’re just colleagues. A lot of our work overlaps, so
we are seen together a lot. That’s why people tend to misunderstand.”
“Oh.” Aurelia lowered her head and couldn’t help but smile.
She didn’t expect Leslie to explain things so clearly to her when he usually spoke no more than two
sentences.
This showed that the matter between him and that woman was truly a misunderstanding.
