Chapter 10 Under My Control

He was interrogated by the police for most of the day.

Even when he presented evidence to prove his relationship with Aurelia, the police still didn’t believe him.

The evidence presented by Aurelia proved that he had borrowed money from her.

Upon seeing the hundreds of thousands on the card, he had absolutely no intention of returning it.

Curtis felt that Aurelia was merely being petulant with him. Recently, he had spent most of his time accompanying Melanie, seldom showing concern for her, which had led her to throw a major tantrum.

If she misses me, she should just tell me! Stirring up all this trouble, doesn’t she realize it might make me dislike her even more? With a belly full of anger, Curtis made another call to Aurelia.

Aurelia was on the subway when she received Curtis‘ call. Immediately, she felt a residual ache in her heart as if it had been forcefully torn.

Gripping the phone tightly, she answered the call.

Initially, Curtis thought that Aurelia wouldn’t answer the phone. However, to his surprise, she picked up as soon as he dialed. It became clear to him then that she was merely putting on an act with him. She’s merely coaxing me into pampering her more.

“My wife, have I been too busy with work lately, neglecting to spend time with you? Are you angry with me? Where are you now? I’ll come to find you immediately. We’ve shared so many years of emotions since high school. Don’t you understand me yet? The company said they would give a bonus of three hundred thousand at the end of the year. I will give you all of it when the time comes. Is that all right?” he asked.

By the end of the year, he could no longer find an excuse not to give it to her..

“My mother has always been kind to you, and you’re aware of her illness. My wife. I truly love

and all the money I earn in the future will be yours,” Curtis added.

Aurelia’s eyes were filled with hatred as she listened to Curtis‘ sweet talk. She then enunciated, “Curtis, you better pay back the money immediately. Otherwise, you’ll be receiving my lawyer’s letter.”

Curtis thought he had misheard. “Huh? Did you hear someone say something? Since when have

cared so much about money? Can our love really be measured in terms of money?”
