Chapter 84 Free To Love "I was wondering if they could possibly be the sperson." Finished Chad was Jeremy's only nephew, so the latter didn't want the former to be deceived by a girl before he even reached his twenties.
Jeremy thought there were too many greedy women around, and Chad was still too young.
In Matthew's eyes, there was a calmness that belied the turmoil within. "It should be the sindividual. Isn't your nephew quite young? Has he cof age yet?" "He was about to turn nineteen, but kids these days mature carly. Back in high school, a whole bunch of girls were after him. Aurelia is four or five years older than him, right? He said it's trendy now to date older girls, and he's willing to be her protector. Can you tellthe truth? What exactly is the relationship between you and Aurelia? Jeremy asked.
As always, Matthew's features were cold and stern. "Tell your nephew to stop harboring intentions toward her." Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "So, are you and her bedfellows or- "We're husband and wife," Matthew said in a nonchalant tone.
However, for others, that was shocking news.
-When did you get married? How cI didn't know? Even Timothy and the others seem to be in the dark. They all thought that your relationship with Aurelia was ambiguous. She's actually your wife?" Jeremy suddenly lost his usual composed and refined demeanor.
He was then somewhat disoriented due to the shocking news "It's a secret marriage. Don't let Timothy and the others find out." Still somewhat shaken, Jeremy nodded and said, "All right. If that blabbermouth finds out, I'm afraid the entire Jacaster will know. My nephew fell for a girl for the first time, and unexpectedly, it turned out to be your woman, Matthew" Matthew's lips curled slightly. "It's a good thing he has discerning eyes." Jeremy then corrected his form of address for Aurelia when he said, "My dad mentioned that your wife is quite impressive. She's young, yet more capable than most people in his team." That term of address was somewhat unfamiliar to Matthew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe sternness between Matthew's brows softened slightly. "She is indeed good in that aspect." Jeremy seldom heard Matthew praise anyone, especially women. "Do you love her very much?" Jeremy thought that if Matthew didn't love her, he would never have gotten married.
Everyone in their group knew that Angela was fond of Matthew.
Since Matthew was secretly married, it was uncertain how Angela would react when she found out about it Chapter 84 Free To Love Finished "Love? My marriage doesn't require love. My grandma is very fond of her," Matthew suddenly said in a deep voice, his gentle expression instantly turned serious.
He married Aurelia solely to ease Mabel's worries. Apart from that, it did not involve love.
Right then, Jeremy understood something. No wonder Matthew has a secret marriage. It's because Old Mrs. Quigley arranged for the two of them to be together. However, does Matthew truly not have feelings for Aurelia? Though Jeremy had never met Aurelia, from the descriptions given by Timothy and the others, it seemed she was a girl who would fit perfectly into Matthew's preferences.
Meanwhile, inside the cafe, Angela had already gleaned a general understanding from Melanie.
From Melanie's perspective, she understood Aurelia as someone who was selfish, self-serving, and willing to forsake her own dignity for the sake of money.
Melanie also told Angela that Aurelia was a kept woman.
Although Melanie didn't know who was financially supporting Aurelia, Angela did.
Angela had always been a composed person. Yet, she was overwhelmed with discomfort and unease when the thought of a person like Aurelia being financially supported by Matthew surfaced.
"How did you cto know Aurelia, Ms. Sanders? Do you know the person supporting Aurelia financially?" Melanie felt parched as she spoke, suddenly realizing she hadn't asked the most burning question in her mind. Now, the entire family wants to know who Aurelia's financial backer is. Unfortunately, despite searching for several days, there hasn't been any news Angela gave a light laugh, saying, "I've only met Ms. Shaw once by chance. I don't know much about her." No matter how much Angela disliked Aurelia's presence, she was clear about one thing. If Matthew did not publicly acknowledge Aurelia's identity, then even if Aurelia truly had a relationship with him, it was merely a lover's affair. And that was something she couldn't be the one to voice out.
If Matthew were to find out about it one day, she would have a hard texplaining herself.
"I suddenly remember that I have smatters to attend Angela said as she picked up her bag and stood up. o, so I must take my leave now, Ms. Leedon," Melanie was taken aback. “Where did you bump into her, Ms. Sanders? Did she take the initiative to get to know you, Ms. Sanders?" Prior to that, no matter what Angela asked, Melanie had answered everything. Apart from the true origin of Aurelia, she even told Angela about Aurelia having a boyfriend. Therefore, Melanie wondered why Angela was avoiding her questions.
Right away, Melanie becsuspicious. Why do I get a feeling that Angela knows who Aurelia's financial backer is? Otherwise, why would she be curious about Aurelia? She even askedall those questions.
Angela's face was slightly cold, exuding a clear sense of distance. "I'm sorry. I can't recall where the incident happened before. I enjoyed our conversation today, and I hope to see you again if there's a chance." Finished "Hold on. Let's exchange our contact details on Whatfirst. That way, we can chat directly on Whatsif anything comes up." Melanie immediately took out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and tried to add a new contact.
Angela remained still. "Let's meet again next time. Goodbye." Even if Melanie was not the Marpest tool in the shed, she could clearly see that Angela had never intended to see her a second time, let alone be her friend.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmImmediately, Melanie felt incredibly embarrassed. "How exactly did Angela get to know Aurelia?" She remembered that it was Angela who primarily initiated adding Aurelia on WhatsApp. At that time, it seemed that Aurelia was not particularly keen on accepting, In the end, when it cto her, she took the initiative to ask for Angela's contact details, but Angela refused. Thinking about how each of these individuals treated Aurelia differently, Melanie felt a deep sense of discomfort throughout her body, and she was gritting her teeth tightly.
Upon reflection, she realized it didn't matter to her. In the hearts of Mom, Dad, and my brothers, I'm the one who matters most. Aurelia holds absolutely no standing! Meanwhile, Chad was lying in the hospital, idly playing with his phone.
Surgery had been performed on the leg, and discharge from the hospital was expected by the next day m However, for about the next three However months, excessive movement was to be avoided, let alone riding motorcycles or engaging in extrsports. Glancing at the time, he saw that there was still an hour left before Aurelia could finish work.
At that moment, he was bored, and in his boredom, he found himself missing Aurelia even more.
While engrossed in a game, a sudden phone call came.
Chad picked up the phone. "Hi, Uncle Jeremy." "Chad, I heard from the old man that you fancy a young lady. Is it that girl working at the old man's place?" Jeremy asked.
Chad rolled his eyes, "Why does the old man share everything with others? Uncle Jerergy if you want to manage children, have sof your own. Don't interfere with me. The old man has already agreed to this. The girl I like is particularly likable." "It's impossible for you two to be together. Stop investing your emotions in her. While you still don't have deep feelings, it's better to shift your affection to another young lady."
"Why? Did the old man tell you she's a few years older than me? What's wrong with that? I look more mature than her appearing even older than she is. Uncle Jeremy, please stop meddling in my affairs. What matters now is the freedom to love, right? I have no interest in a marriage of convenience. Chad wouldn't budge.
