Aurelia was stunned.
She hadnât had time to swallow the food in her mouth.
Finished Somewhat bewildered, she asked, âDoes cating spicy food during the preâpregnancy period concern us?â
Arenât we just putting on a show to make Old Mrs. Quigley happy?
âHave you thought about turning our marriage into a legal one, nullifying the threeâyear secret marriage agreement?â Matthew was direct.
Aurelia choked suddenly.
Her nose and mouth burned from the spicy chili, causing tears and mucus to flow uncontrollably.
She awkwardly dabbed at herself with a nearby napkin.
Matthew handed her a glass of water.
Is she frightened?
Aurelia was genuinely taken aback. âMr. Quigley, are you joking?â
âItâs not a joke. Matthew asserted firmly.
Seeing Aurelia startled, Matthew took a sip of water before continuing calmly, âI donât have time to adjust to living with other women. Weâve been getting along well lately and know each other enough.â
âI donât know you that well, and you donât know me that well either. Have you thought this through?â
Aurelia asked.
Can a marriage without love last?
She suddenly thought of her passionate youth with Curtis. So what?
A marriage without love might not have many expectations, but maybe they could peacefully coexist for a lifetime.
Plus, it would satisfy both families.
After thinking it over, Aurelia found herself somewhat intrigued.
âWe can learn about each other in the future,â Matthew said with a smile.
After days of careful deliberation, he didnât mind spending his life with Aurelia.
Everything else didnât matter.
Aurelia also laughed, her eyeyâstill glistening with tears from earlier. âOkay, letâs take our time getting to know each other in the future.â
They reached an agreement.
1/4 Chapter 113 That Woman Looks Like You After lunch, they went to the hospital to collect all the test reports.
Finished Aurelia had been feeling a bit weak due to her previous blood donation. However, with ample rest, she would be able to recover.
On the other hand, Matthew struggled with insomnia despite his fitness regimen and discipline. He also needed ample rest.
The doctor assured them it wouldnât affect their plans for children.
However...
After giving it considerable thought. Aurelia said to Matthew, âIâve just graduated from university and started a new job. Iâm not ready to be a mother yet.â
She also wasnât psychologically prepared for physical intimacy with him.
âYeah, no rush. We can let nature take its course. Matthew nodded.
Upon reflection, the words he had spoken to her earlier were somewhat impulsive.
âXavier wants to meet you this weekend, the day after tomorrow. Are you free?â Aurelia felt unsettled for no reason.
She found herself thinking of Xavier amidst her chaotic thoughts.
âSure, you can arrange it,â Matthew replied.
Just then. Mabel called.
Matthew answered her call.
âIs it over? What did the doctor say?â
Matthew glanced at Aurelia, who was clearly distracted. The decision he made today must have been quite a shock to her.
âIâm still the same, as for Auri, she...â
When Aurelia heard his deep voice gently uttering her name, she felt somewhat dazed.
donated blood multiple times before and hasnât rested properly. She needs time to recuperate.â
Mabel was extremely worried, âMultiple blood donations? Did the doctor say how to take care of her body? You need to take good care of her regularly and wait a year or two before getting children. Auriâs health is the most important!â
She had come up with this idea just to give them more time to be together.
Children were not important ayâall.
Matthew also saw through Mábelâs intentions.
Both chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.
2/4 Chapter 113 That Woman Looks Like You Aurelia was quietly listening on the side.
She glanced at her watch. It was just two in the afternoon.
It was still early, and she had taken the whole day off today.
âWant to go soak in the hot spring and relax?â Matthew asked, looking down at Aurelia.
Aureliaâs eyes lit up. âSure.â
Finished She had been doing restoration work for the past few days, sitting for hours on end, and was feeling quite tense. A soak in the hot spring would be perfect.
As the two were about to get in the car, a vehicle had just pulled to a stop not far from them.
A pair of mother and daughter stepped out of the car.
Nancy, with her sharp eyes, spotted Matthew.
Her eyes widened.
Thatâs Matthew, right? Eh? Thereâs a woman in the passenger seat.
Nancy couldnât see her face, only the back, but even from the back, she didnât look like Angela.
Angelaâs hair wasnât that long.
Moreover....
âNancy, what are you looking at?â Nancyâs mother, Laura Burgess, asked.
Nancy withdrew her gaze and shook her head at Laura. âItâs nothing. Letâs go, Mom. Iâve made an appointment with the doctor.
Half an hour later, Nancy sat in the hallway, waiting for Laura to complete her checkâup.
She sent a message to Aurelia on WhatsApp.
Nancy: I just brought my mom to the hospital for a checkâup. Guess who I saw? I saw Matthew. Lately, Iâve been bumping into Matthew quite often. Ah, but thatâs not the point. The point is, do you know what? I saw him sitting with a woman. The woman was in the passenger seat, and they seemed really close. I can smell an affair from a mile away!
Nancy: And that woman wasnât Angela!
Aurelia was sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window when she saw Nancyâs message. She almost dropped her phone in shock.
Nancy would make a great paparazzo!
Aurelia asked: Why do you think everyone is having an affair?
She didnât know how to explain her relationship with Matthew to Nancy, This was a bit tricky.
3/4 15:20 Sat, 29 Jun 21.
Chapter 113 That Woman Looks Like You Finished Did Nancy already see me and Matthew at the hospital? That shouldnât be the case. Nancy is so impulsive and canât keep secrets. If she had seen me and Matthew, she would have rushed over to say hello, not described me and Matthew as having an affair now.
Nancy replied: Because Matthew has never been seen with a woman in public. I even once thought Matthew might like men. But now Iâve seen him with women twice recently. Itâs clear heâs had a change of heart. And the woman from today, from the back, she had a killer figure!
Aurelia couldnât help but laugh at being complimented on her figure by Nancy. She replied: Is her figure really that good?
Nancy: Of course. I donât normally see figures that I find good. Youâre one of the few. But...
Aurelia: But what?
Nancy: Now that I think about it, that woman just now had a figure very similar to yours. If I didnât know you and Matthew didnât know each other, I would have thought that woman was you!
Aurelia couldnât help but twitch her mouth as she looked over the chat history between the two.
Luckily, Nancy didnât press further and concluded: I need to accompany my mom for her checkâup now. Letâs meet in a couple of days. Come over to my house. My husband is going on a business trip tomorrow.
Aurelia: Sure.
At the hot spring resort, Matthew drove straight to the villa where he had previously stayed.
Not far behind, a Lincoln limousine followed him.
Inside were several young men and women.
One of them pointed at the car in front and said, âIf Iâm not mistaken, thatâs Matthewâs car. There seems to be a woman with him.â.
âMatthew?â Upon hearing Matthewâs name, Spencer immediately craned his neck to look ahead.
