Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 28 I Misunderstood You

Matthew’s expression was slightly unnatural.

Perhaps he felt awkward about what he was about to say.

Since they had arrived at Starry Sea Mansion, Aurelia was in no hurry. She quietly waited for him to speak.

“I apologize for today’s events. I didn’t consider things thoroughly and misunderstood you.”

Matthew’s inherently composed voice seemed incongruous when expressing such apologies,

He had misunderstood her ambiguous involvement with Curtis, and indeed, she was somewhat angry.

However, now that she had heard him apologize, her anger had completely dissipated. “It’s okay. In fact, we could go to City Hall tomorrow to file for divorce, and after a one–month cooling–off period, we could get our divorce certificate. Even if we’re divorced, we can still keep it from Grandma. I would still visit and take care of her frequently.”

Aurelia thought that this could be a solution that satisfied everyone.

Matthew furrowed his brows. “The moment we step into City Hall to file for divorce, Grandma. will know right away. So, let’s stick to our original agreement and divorce after three years.”

Aurelia blinked, looking at him slyly, and teased, “Aren’t you afraid that I might actually set my sights on you and Quigley Group? What if, within three years, you unintentionally fall so deeply in love with me that you can’t do without me and refuse to divorce? What then?”

Does he really think I don’t have a temper?

I said it doesn’t matter, but that doesn’t mean he can simply call off the agreement if he wishes or continue it

at his whim.

Does he think I didn’t notice that he guards against me as if guarding against a thief?

Is he afraid that I might inadvertently steal his heart?

A hint of unnatural embarrassment graced Matthew’s handsome face. “There’s no way I’ll fall in love with you, so keep your hopes in check. On the day the agreement expires, not a single amount will be missing from the ten million promised to you in the contract.”

Aurelia shrugged. “Out of respect for Old Mrs. Quigley, I’ll let it slide this time. But if continue to slander me without understanding the full story, then we will terminate the contract. immediately.”

The expression on Matthew’s face grew serious. “All right.”

After their conversation ended, the two seemed to share an unspoken understanding. They alighted from the car together and returned to the mansion.

Aurelia was somewhat hungry. She hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so she headed toward the kitchen. Politely, she asked Matthew, “I’m hungry and about to make dinner. Would you like me to make some for you too?”

Matthew’s footsteps halted on the staircase as he ascended.
