Chapter 169 Matthew Must Have Done It On Purpose
His gaze was icy and arrogant, inducing an irresistible sense of fear.
A few handsome guys initially wanted to approach her for her WhatsApp contact. However, they were instantly deterred and dissuaded by Matthew’s intimidating gaze.
After taking a few shots, Aurelia ran back to him.
She retrieved her cell phone.
Upon seeing the photos taken by Matthew, Aurelia blinked her eyes, persistently checking the rest of them without losing hope.
She suspected that Matthew had done it on purpose!
“Mr. Quigley’s photography skills are truly, incredibly, amazing!”
She looked completely petite in stature!
Her height of 173cm was made to appear as 153cm.
He wished she could just sink into the ground.
Matthew had been lost in thought earlier and hadn’t paid attention to the photos he had taken. Hearing Aurelia’s teasing remarks, he glanced down at the phone.
Upon seeing them, he couldn’t help but lose his smile. In an attempt to assert himself, he suggested, “Let’s take them again.”
Aurelia gazed at the place, now packed with even more people, and shook her head. “Let’s go. somewhere else. After all, we’re just here to leave our mark.”
Why do I feel that he is somewhat distracted?
Could it be that the person who called him to the hospital is in a bad state?
“Let’s go. Let’s take a stroll by the sea ahead,” Matthew suggested, one hand casually in his pocket. while the other held Aurelia’s as they walked forward.

By the time she arrived at the hotel, it was already dark. The room she was assigned to penthouse suite, offering an almost panoramic view of the entire Kenfort. At that moment, her eyes were drawn to the towering skyscrapers and neon lights, failing to notice that the sea was just nearby.
It took roughly ten minutes to reach the seaside.
The sea breeze blew on her face as Aurelia kicked off her shoes to tread on the sandy beach. The fine grains of sand blanketed her entire foot.

She was as gleeful as a child, turning to Matthew with an enthusiastic expression and said, “This is
comfortable! I’m coming back tomorrow. I want to sit here, watch the sunrise and wait for the
sunset.”
Under the cloak of night, the sea resembled an endless expanse of darkness.
It seemed as though Matthew was influenced by Aurelia’s emotions. With a smile tugging at his lips, he kept his gaze fixed on Aurelia. He responded in a deep voice, “Alright.”
An hour later, the two of them returned to the hotel:
Aurelia assumed that Matthew would leave once he had dropped her off at the hotel, considering he had pressing matters to attend to in Kenfort.
Surprisingly, he ended up staying.
Moreover, after she had finished taking her bath, he went in to shower as well.
Aurelia didn’t think much of it. She leaned back on her bed, pulling out her phone to check her messages. When she saw the dozens of missed call notifications, she was somewhat taken aback.
Has Matthew called me this many times?
When she checked her missed call log, she saw that Matthew had called her seven or eight times. The rest were various unfamiliar numbers.
Among them were a few who had called her before.
It was obvious to her who was on the other end of the phone call.
Those of the Leedon family were quite eccentric. Their logic and worldview were far from what could be considered normal.
After adding several missed calls to the blacklist, Aurelia went back to browsing Amazon.
Even when she was on vacation, it didn’t interfere with her time to work and earn money.
She didn’t notice Matthew emerging from the restroom as she was engrossed in conversation with the client.
By the time she sensed a strong surge of masculine pheromones, Matthew had already pressed her onto the bed. Then, his seductive voice echoed in her ear, “Tell the person you’re chatting with that you’ll talk to them tomorrow.”
“Your time now belongs to me.”
His deep voice was particularly seductive and alluring.
It was as if he was luring her to disregard all consequences.

Aurelia swallowed, her gaze drifting from his damp hair to his face. It was a sight capable of bewitching many women. “You…”
She didn’t get a chance to finish her words, as Matthew swallowed them all.
The cellphone she was holding slipped from her.
grasp.
For some unknown reasons, Matthew was particularly fierce that evening.
In the end, after Aurelia had called him ‘Hubby‘ through her tears more times than she could count. Hearing that, Matthew finally fell asleep contentedly, holding her in his arms.
As she drifted off to sleep, Aurelia’s mind was filled with thoughts. She hadn’t responded to her customers on Amazon yet, and she decided that they could reach out to her the next day.
However, she was completely drained, not even knowing where she had dropped her phone. She simply didn’t have the energy to look for it.
This man is a wild horse….
She was waiting to wake up tomorrow and protest against him!
At the hospital.
Today, it was Spencer and Melanie who stayed at the hospital to take care of Luna.
Tomorrow, it would be Benjamin and Aaron.
In the meantime, Gideon had to tackle a variety of challenging issues at the company.
Originally, Aaron was supposed to stay with Melanie, but he couldn’t manage to take the day off that day.
The hospital was very quiet at night.
However, Luna’s hospital room was anything but peaceful. She was constantly crying out in pain and her sleep was restless. Even when she did manage to drift off, she would be crying and shouting that she couldn’t live without her legs. It was as if she was trapped in a nightmare.
Spencer and Melanie were both on edge, worn out by Luna’s constant crying and fussing.
“Aurelia still isn’t answering her phone, is she?” Spencer asked.
Melanie nodded. “I reached out to some friends, and asked them to give her a call, but she didn’t pick up any of the calls. I guess she knew we were looking for her. That’s probably why she didn’t Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
answer.”
The hospital’s beds for lodges were truly tiny. Despite them residing in a single room, the presence of two other beds made the entire ward feel incredibly cramped.

Furthermore, the strong scent of disinfectant in the hospital room made the environment particularly uncomfortable for the two of them.
“No, we must bring her here. She hasn’t spent time with Mom all these years. How can she not come here to take care of Mom with her in this condition? I thought she was just venting yesterday, but I can’t believe she really doesn’t care about Mom. I have to get her here.” Spencer lay on the small companion bed. He looked angry.
He didn’t expect a good night’s sleep on this shoddy bed that night.
Aurelia should have been here.
Melanie was in utter turmoil, and her frustration had reached its peak. After listening to Luna’s various cries of pain from the bed, she not only wanted Aurelia to come and take care of their mother, but also hoped that Aurelia would delete the video.
Moreover, if the video wasn’t provided by Curtis, then who could it have been?
Words had it that Curtis was living it up lately. Despite being jobless, he was recklessly spending her money, and just the thought of it was unsettling.
“Spencer, I don’t think she’ll come no matter how hard we try to find her.” Melanie sighed. “She seems to have made up her mind to not want to get involved with us. She would definitely want to keep her distance given Mom’s current situation. She won’t care about Mom the way we do.”
Spencer furrowed his brows, “Is she out of her mind? She knows full well that she’s not related to that family by blood, yet she insists on getting close to them.”
Then, he thought of something.
He immediately addressed Melanie, “I’m not criticizing you, but you and Aurelia are different. She’s nowhere near your level. You’re the little sister whom we’ve cherished and nurtured since childhood. You can’t just go anywhere.”
“Right, I understand. In my eyes, you guys are like my biological brothers. I have no emotional ties to that family.” Melanie obediently nodded in agreement.
Spencer chuckled. “You’re right! Well, time to sleep. I need to figure out a way to coax Aurelia into stepping up. She has to come and take care of Mom. In the future, Mom will need someone by her side when she goes home. She has to come back.”
