Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 7

“Aurelia, have you moved in with Leslie? I called because I was afraid Leslie might have scared you away,” Linda half–jokingly remarked.

“Mom, I promised you, and I won’t go back on my word. Don’t worry. I’ll go back and pack up right away.”

Aurelia could sense Linda’s keen interest in her marriage to Leslie.

She didn’t want to disappoint the person who had saved her life. However, she wasn’t sure what Leslie thought about their marriage.

“Okay, be careful on the way. If anything happens, just look for Leslie,” Linda said as she finally smiled.

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Aurelia dismissed the idea of buying something to eat and decided to take a taxi home.

The evening hadn’t set in, and she had to act swiftly.

Upon reaching home, she started packing her bags.

Besides daily necessities, she had only a few sets of work clothes and casual wear. After packing a large and a small suitcase, she looked around her home.

A family photo from several years ago still hung on the wall. She was held in her parents‘ arms, and they all smiled with squinted eyes.

Unfortunately, those carefree days were gone.

She walked to the table and touched her father’s memorial tablet.

“Dad, rest assured, I will save Mom and take care of our home.”

“Oh, by the way, Dad, I’m married now. Not to Seth. So, you don’t need to give him your blessings anymore. It’s not worth it. My husband is a… handsome programmer. Don’t worry. He’s not bald. He’s quite decent.”

As she finished speaking, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.

After a moment of hesitation, she answered, only to hear Seth’s reproachful voice.

“Aurelia, you actually blocked me? Are you feeling guilty?”

Hearing this, Aurelia rolled her eyes.

“Seth, I made myself clear yesterday. We no longer have any connection.”

“Aurelia, come on, isn’t it just about the hundred thousand dollars? I have my own challenges, too. I’m the only child in my family and bear the weight of everything. If I hand over the money to you, what about my parents?” Seth explained.

“That’s why I don’t want it anymore. I’m hanging up. Don’t call me again.”
