Chapter 319

Cynthia made it seem like she had a close relationship with Leslie, leaving Aurelia unable to interject.

She glanced at Aurelia again and said, “You wouldn’t know, but I always seem to be losing things overseas. It’s either in his car or his apartment. There were even times when I grabbed the wrong coat. The weather abroad is always dreary, so I’d end up walking in his oversized coat on the streets. It’s quite amusing.”

Three strikes–car, apartment, grabbing the wrong coat.

It was hard for one not to assume that there was something between Leslie and Cynthia.

Still, it happened before their marriage, so Aurelia couldn’t say much about it.

She stood quietly beside Leslie as Cynthia recounted tales of her and Leslie’s past.

Although she hated to admit it, Cynthia and Leslie standing together were more pleasing to the eye than any handsome couple in a magazine.

There was an inherent elegance about them that others couldn’t imitate.

Aurelia pursed her lips and lowered her head slowly, feeling defeated.

Cynthia’s smirk grew deeper as she continued, “Where did you and Leslie meet? At university? At the gallery? Museum? Or was it during a beach vacation?
