Chapter 123 She Refuses To Guess
Chad waited and waited.
He waited until Aurelia finished her tasks and checked her phone.
Upon seeing Chad’s inquiry, Aurelia responded: Yes, I was the one who posted it. I’m married now.
Upon seeing Aurelia’s response, Chad felt as if the sky had suddenly darkened.
He was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning-

Nonetheless, he persisted: Don’t tell me that the jerk came back begging for your forgiveness and you agreed?
Aurelia: It’s not him but someone else introduced by our elders. We’re both very pleased with each other. Don’t worry, this choice was made after careful
With eyes reddened, all Chad could muster in reply was: I wish you happiness.
When Norman and Jeremy returned home, what greeted them was the sight of Chad, teetering on the brink of tears, his eyes reddened.
The books that were originally strewn across the bed had now been neatly arranged and put
The two older men shared a glance.
Despite experiencing heartbreak for the first time, Chad seemed surprisingly normal now.
“What’s going on with you?” Norman knowingly asked, feigning ignorance. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Chad looked toward Norman, his eyes filled with hurt and sadness. “I’m heartbroken.”

“It’s not a big deal. You can’t really call yourself a man until you’ve had a few heartbreaks,” Jeremy said with the air of someone who had been there befo
Speechless, Chad cast a glance at the nonchalant Jeremy.
“Having experienced heartbreak so many times can only mean you’re inadequate. Why else would you have been dumped so many times? You and I ar
“You say we’re not the same, but didn’t you also go through a heartbreak?” Jeremy was just about to kick him, but when he thought of Chad’s heartbrea
Norman’s lips twitched as he gave Jeremy a light smack on the head. “Speak properly.”
None of them was able to give him peace of mind.
Was that how an uncle was supposed to be behave?
Jeremy felt somewhat wronged after being hit. “Dad, why are you hitting me? He’s just a kid. At his age, his affections shift from one to another almost ev

“How many women have you actually known? Just wait and see in ten years, Jeremy said.

Looking back a decade ago, he too had been through this phase of youthful naivety, thinking that there were no good women left in the world. Losing a woman fe
It took him a full decade to realize that he had indeed been too young back then.
Norman said, “In a few decades when you reach my age, you’ll realize that you can let go of anything.”
Chad stared at the two of them, utterly speechless. “I can let go! I’ve already come to terms with it! Marriage isn’t everything. I can be Aurelia’s brother and friend. Being a brother and friend can last a lifetime, whereas a marriage m
Wow, he’s moved on so quickly?
Both Norman and Jeremy were taken by surprise.
True to the Gardner family, they inherently possessed a carefree spirit.
“Once that blind fool divorces Aurelia, I’ll be mature enough to marry her right away! I can’t wait!” Chad squinted his eyes, as if he could already envisio
Upon hearing this, both Norman and Jeremy were left somewhat dumbfounded.
Err…
All right then!
At the very least, it can be said that he’s come to terms with it.
Matthew came to pick up Aurelia.
The two of them were seated in the back row, with the driver steering the car smoothly.
“Do you want to eat out, or should we go home for dinner?” Matthew asked.
“Let’s eat at home, we’ve been dining out these past few days, and it’s been a bit tough on my stomach,” Aurelia said.
Eating out once in a while was fine, but if one did it too often, it could upset one’s stomach.
In truth, Matthew also found himself yearning for Aurelia’s cooking. “Okay.”
Aurelia leaned against the car and before long, she was asleep.
When Matthew saw the fatigue on her face, he was reminded of the photo Jeremy had sent him earlier that day. It was a picture of Aurelia engrossed in
It seemed he still didn’t understand her well enough.
She had never intentionally displayed her better side to him. When they were together, she was always penuine natural and carefree

Unavoidably, his gaze became notably more focused at that moment.

The driver, who was at the wheel, was subtly taken aback when he noticed the intense focus in Matthew’s gaze as he watched Aurelia
Mr. Quigley seems to be quite fond of Ms. Shaw.
He even took the initiative to pick her up today. Moreover, I’ve been driving Mr. Quigley around almost daily, yet I’ve never seen him treat a woman in suc
In a drowsy state, Aurelia heard her phone ringing-
The tranquility within the car was shattered by the intermittent ringing.
When Aurelia opened her eyes, she was still somewhat dazed. Upon realizing she was resting on Matthew’s shoulder, she was momentarily taken abac
However, she didn’t get a chance to say anything to Matthew because she had already answered the phone.
“Auri, there’s been a change in plans. I have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow. Can I see you tonight?” Xavier asked.
Aurelia turned her gaze toward Matthew.
Since it was ahead of the agreed time, she wasn’t sure if it was convenient for Matthew at the moment.
The car was silent, so Matthew had heard Xavier’s request.
He gave a nod.
Aurelia was somewhat surprised by Matthew’s agreeableness. “Sure. I’ll send you the restaurant address later, Xavier.”
“All right.” Xavier had been on edge these past few days. He had initially thought that he would be able to meet her the day after tomorrow, but unexpect
This departure could last for a mere day or two or even a week.
He was genuinely worried about Aurelia, fearing she had encountered yet another unworthy man.
After all, the lesson from Curtis was deeply ingrained.
In this world, there weren’t many good men.

ending the call, Aurelia also regained her senses. During the call, her eyes had held a certain haziness, as if she was in a dream–like state.
Off to the side, Matthew watched with slightly curved lips.
She really did seem a bit adorable just now.
“Let me find a restaurant. What do you feel like eating?” Aurelia asked.
Probably due to having just woken up, her tone carried a hint of coyness when she spoke.

Matthew was in a good mood after hearing this, a faint glimmer of amusement twinkling in his eyes. “Whichever restaurant your older brother prefers, tha
The thought of Xavier’s favorite place brought a smile to Aurelia’s face. With a chuckle, she said, “Are you
sure?”
“Yeah.
“Then you better not regret it.” Aurelia couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the impeccably dressed CEO enjoying meat skewers at a food truck.
Seeing the woman’s mischievous smile, Matthew raised an eyebrow. “Food truck?”
He recalled a photo that Gordon had sent him not long ago.
She was dining at a food truck with a man, enjoying some meat skewers.
The man with her must have been one of her two brothers.
Aurelia hadn’t expected Matthew to guess correctly and exclaimed in surprise, “How did you figure it out?”
Matthew’s lips curved slightly. “Take a guess.”
“Let me know when you’re ready to talk. For now, you can keep it a secret.” Aurelia hadn’t expected Matthew to start playing coy.
She had once heard someone say that no matter a man’s age, he always had a childish side.
At that moment, she realized the truth of that statement.
She simply refused to guess!
