Chapter 149 I Never Hated You

Finished

Aaron’s face changed. He immediately strode over, pulled Melanie into his embrace, and kissed her.

“I never hated you, Mel. I like you.”

Upon hearing this, Melanic immediately lost herself in the kiss. She knew that if she

put her mind to it, any man would fall for her, let alone Aaron, the one she grew up with and knew best!

On that day, just as Aurelia was about to finish work, she received a call from Xavier.

He mentioned that he had the weekend off and asked her to return home as he had some good

news to announce.

By then, Charlie would have returned home, and Herbert’s college entrance exams would have ended.

The whole family could then gather to celebrate.

After agreeing, Aurelia first went to visit Mabel at the Quigley residence. As soon as she entered. the residence and barely exchanged a few words with Mabel, Evelyn handed her a bowl of stew.

“Mrs. Quigley, this stew is meant to nourish your body. I heard that you’ve donated blood several times before and it took a toll on your body.” Evelyn said to Aurelia with a cheerful grin.

“Just have a little, you won’t be able to finish such a big bowl.” Mabel’s heart swelled with joy the more she looked at Aurelia.

Otherwise, over these many years, given the position Matthew was in, the number of women entangled with him would have been no less than a few dozen, if not a hundred. She might have even had more than a dozen great–grandchildren by now.

However, no one could compare to Aurelia.

Aurelia picked it up and took a sip. The taste was mild and quite delicious. There was a subtle hint of herbal fragrance and faint sweetness to it.

It was clear that Evelyn had put her heart into making the stew.

“It’s delicious, thank you, Evelyn,” Aurelia immediately expressed her gratitude.

This wasn’t just a polite remark, the stew was genuinely delicious. She had initially thought that
