Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 40 Someone Asked Me Out

Mabel’s words left Matthew without a retort.

In the end, he could only say to his grandmother, “I’ll ask her. If she’s too busy too, we’ll go next week.”

“Sure. Auri seems to have a lot on her mind recently. She needs to go and relax. As her husband, you should take care of her. Do you understand?” Mabel advised in concern.

“Yes,” Matthew replied briefly,

After the call with his grandmother, he first took a look at Aurelia’s matter online.

Having ensured that Gordon and the others didn’t miss anything, he gave Aurelia a call.

“The line is busy…

Matthew put down his phone.

A few minutes later, Aurelia called him back.

“Mr. Quigley, you called me just now?”

“Grandma has a few friends visiting her at the hospital today, so she arranged for us to go to the hot spring. If you’re free tonight, I’ll go pick you up.”

Matthew’s innately cool voice drifted out of the phone.

From his voice, Aurelia faintly discerned a hint of reluctance.

It must be Grandma who forced him to call and invite me to the hot spring. Such an activity is typically reserved for best friends or the most intimate of lovers. It’s no wonder that he’s reluctant.

“Someone asked me out just now, and I’ve already agreed. I’m truly sorry,” Aurelia replied.

That was the honest truth.

When Matthew called earlier, she was on the phone with Xavier.

He asked her out for dinner that night, saying that it had been a long time since they talked. Now that Curtis and Melanie’s matter was settled, and there was nothing Melanie and the others could do in the face of evidence, it was a good time for them to gather and catch up.

Upon hearing her reason for declining over the phone, Matthew merely frowned. “Okay. I’ll tell Grandma about it.”

“Thank you, Mr. Quigley.”

“You’re welcome.”
