Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 20 A Resemblance To A Neglected Child

Finished

Matthew had felt a touch of impatience, thinking that Aurelia had pretended to stumble and fall into his arms. However, his annoyance faded upon hearing her explanation.

Her complexion was very pale, with a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead.

It was clear that she was sick.

“I’m fine. Please take me back to Starry Sea Mansion. I don’t want Grandma to worry, and I also fear that I might pass my cold to her,” Aurelia said to Matthew again.

With a nod, Matthew took off his suit jacket and draped it over Aurelia. Then, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, he quickly led her away.

Gideon and Melanie had barely managed to weave their way through the crowd and were about to reach them when Matthew briskly walked away with the woman.

They wanted to catch up but ended up being stopped by the staff who stated that Matthew took the VIP passage.

The father and daughter felt extremely embarrassed.

They were just one step away.

Their luck was just too terrible.

Before getting in the car, Aurelia heard Matthew making a phone call to Mabel and asking. Gordon to drive her car back to Starry Sea Mansion.

The diamond ring that had just been auctioned off would also be delivered to the Quigley residence by the auction house staff.

As she listened, she gradually drifted off to sleep in the car.

Matthew watched as the sleeping Aurelia sat quietly in the corner. Her head was gently leaning against the side of the car window. She was a head shorter than him, probably about five feet five inches tall, but at this moment, curled up in the corner of the car, she looked quite petite.

Unsure if it was the discomfort from her illness or some troubling thought, she silently shed.

tears.

Tears, imbued with the glow of neon lights in the night, adhered to her lengthy eyelashes. She bore a resemblance to a neglected child who had endured hardship.

Matthew’s curiosity was piqued. He wondered what exactly had happened to her.

Is it because of her boyfriend?

The thought that she might have agreed to marry him out of spite toward her boyfriend made Matthew’s heart sink.
