Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 185 Lingering Gaze

Aurelia, out of habit, didn’t evade, she even moved closer.

After a short while, Matthew, who was holding Aurelia, finally fell into a calm and steady sleep.

The following morning, Matthew mentioned he had a three–hour video conference. Upon hearing this, Aurelia decided she would visit the hotel’s aquarium.

During the video conference, Matthew noticed Aurelia leaving with her bag on her back.

The action of closing the door was done gently.

Matthew gave a quick glance, then withdrew his

gaze.

After exiting the elevator, Aurelia followed the staff’s directions toward the aquarium.

Growing up, she seldom had the opportunity to visit the aquarium. Perhaps the only instance was during a summer break in high school when Xavier took them on a trip there. The price of admission was quite steep for them at that time.

Later, when she attended university, she found herself with even less time. She had to juggle various part–time jobs to earn her tuition and living expenses.

After she entered, she took quite a number of photos, each of which she sent to their family’s WhatsApp group.

Everyone in the group had seen it, all giving their praises, complimenting on the great shot, and encouraging Aurelia to enjoy herself to the fullest.

The hotel’s aquarium was massive. By the time she finished exploring it leisurely, three hours had already passed.

When leaving the aquarium with plans to return to the hotel, Matthew gave her a call.

“Do you want to come with me to the hospital?”

Aurelia thought about their return to Jacaster tomorrow and figured she should visit Zoe. “All right, I’ll wait for you in front of the hotel,” she said.

After a few minutes, Matthew emerged.

Upon seeing Matthew, Aurelia offered him one of the grilled sausages she was holding. “Want some?” she asked.

When she left the aquarium, she spotted some grilled sausages. They were cooked to perfection and smelled incredibly appetizing, so she bought two right away.

It was still warm.

With his gaze lowered to the grilled sausage before him, Matthew parted his thin lips and said,
