Upon hearing this, Aurelia couldn’t bear it and said, “Mom, it’s a misunderstanding. I’m not pregnant. I just sat for too long, so my back was aching.”

Suddenly, Linda’s laughter abruptly stopped, and she quickly shifted the conversation to comfort Aurelia. “Aurelia, I’m not rushing you to have a baby. Don’t let it bother you.”

Aurelia felt embarrassed. “I’m sorry, Mom.”

Then, Linda quickly reassured her and said, “Hey, what’s with the apology? You two are still young, and Leslie…”

But halfway through her sentence, Linda suddenly fell silent.

Meanwhile, Leslie, who was driving, suddenly had a bad feeling.

Linda whispered, “Aurelia, tell me, is it because Leslie isn’t capable? He used to be so reserved, could it be that…”

“Mom! Mom!” Aurelia desperately interrupted Linda.

“It’s okay. What can’t we talk about between ourselves? Even though he’s my son, I can’t let him get away with everything. If he’s really lacking something, I’ll ask the doctor to give him some supplements,” Linda said.

At that moment, Aurelia felt her heart sinking, and her hands fumbled for her phone to turn off the Bluetooth.

“Aurelia, I’ll go meet the doctor tomorrow. But don’t worry, I won’t say anything,” Linda

said.

“Mom,” Leslie spoke sternly.

But immediately, Linda hung up the phone.

With that, the call ended.

However, the Bluetooth continued playing the music, and to make matters worse, the lyrics weren’t very appropriate either.

“What kind of man are you…” The song played out.

Aurelia trembled as she disconnected the Bluetooth. Then, she sneakily glanced at Leslie.

Leslie narrowed his eyes. “I’m perfectly fine!”

Aurelia vigorously nodded. She didn’t have a clue about what Linda said anyway. Nope,

not at all.

Then, Aurelia lowered her head and turned her attention to her phone.

Just then, she came across the photo of her being supported by Leslie as they walked.

It really did look like she was pregnant.

No wonder people misunderstood.

But fortunately, not many people were paying attention to her all the time, so there wasn’t much gossip swirling around.

But on the other hand, Leslie’s back view in the photo garnered a shocking amount of clicks.

“I wish I could get Mr. Synder to carry me princess–style too.”

“Keep dreaming. They’re a real couple.”

“Doesn’t this guy look like that hotshot from the tech industry a while back?”

As Aurelia read the comments that were gossiping about Leslie, she quickly turned to look at him.

“Do you want me to contact the person who took the photo and ask them to delete it?”

she asked.

“Am I that embarrassing?” Leslie frowned.

“No, it’s just…” Aurelia hesitated.

“We’re here. Let’s get off and buy groceries.”

“Okay.” Aurelia nodded and got out of the car, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Wasn’t Leslie the one who didn’t want their relationship to be publicized?

She was just being cautious, so why wasn’t Leslie happy?

After that, Aurelia followed Leslie into the supermarket.

But out of consideration for Aurelia’s back pain, Leslie quickly and efficiently bought everything they needed and left.

Meanwhile in the One Technology, Cynthia was looking at the online photo of the princess–style carry and hurriedly made her way to Daniel’s office.

“What’s going on, Mr. Xenos? Don’t you know a thing about crisis management? If Mr. Synder’s identity gets exposed, his plan against the Synder Corporation will be ruined.”

“Ms. Whitlock, it’s not that I’m neglecting public relations, but… Mr. Synder didn’t allow me to take action,” Daniel hesitated as he said.

“What do you mean?” Cynthia was taken aback.

“When the photo started getting attention, I immediately asked Mr. Synder if we should remove it. But he said it wasn’t a big deal.”

“So, are you saying that he wants to make their relationship public?” Cynthia frowned.

“They’re married. So, it’s only a matter of time before it’s made public,” Daniel solemnly

said.

Cynthia was left speechless.
