Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 14 I Am A Scheming Woman

She looked up at him.

At that moment, Matthew’s crisp white shirt was neatly tucked into his tailored trousers, showcasing his imposing stature and straight long legs.

The aura of nobility radiating from within him was accentuated by the twilight.

Aurelia blinked. She had to admit that Matthew was truly handsome.

He was even more handsome than her favorite movie star.

Everyone enjoyed admiring beautiful things, and she was no exception.

“Grandma has woken up. Let’s go have dinner together,” Matthew said to Aurelia.

Seeing her gaze fixed on his face, her eyes mirroring the look of many women who had ogled at him before, he couldn’t help but let his expression darken.

Could it be that she has planned with Grandma to give me a head massage? Is she hoping that I would inadvertently discover how wonderful she is?

When he found out that his grandmother wanted him to marry her, he realized that she was a woman with an agenda.

Aurelia stood up. “Alright, I’ve just picked some grapes and strawberries.”

She had tasted them when she picked them earlier. They were very sweet, much tastier than those she had bought from the supermarket.

The housekeepers told her that the weather that year was good. It had ample sunlight, hence the sweeter fruits compared to past years.

When Matthew realized that Aurelia was not an innocent woman, his attitude became much colder, responding only with a nonchalant hum.

Aurelia didn’t mind, nor did she overthink it.

Upon seeing that Mabel had already woken up, Aurelia walked over carrying grapes and. strawberries.

“Did you pick these yourself?” Mabel asked with a smile.

Upon learning from Evelyn that Matthew, who had always suffered from some sleep disorders, had fallen asleep under Aurelia’s massage, Mable felt that Matthew would soon come to appreciate Aurelia.

Aurelia treated people with sincerity. More than a decade ago, when she was just a little girl,

nah had told Mabel that Aurelia was kind–hearted in nature. Seeing how lonely Hannah was, Aurelia would often keep her company.
