Chapter 186 Not As She Had Imagined

Aurelia didn’t feel much like eating and made up an excuse. “An old college friend found out I was here and invited me to catch up. I’ll head over there right away. You guys go ahead and eat.”

Sometimes, disliking someone wasn’t because they were bad, but because they gave off a vibe that made one feel uneasy, prompting one to keep their distance out of respect.

The figure of Zoe standing before her was just like that. In fact, when she first saw her, she had a rather positive impression.

However, after meeting a few times, she realized that they were not on the same wavelength and couldn’t really get along.

She was afraid it would upset her digestion if they dined together.

With a calm gaze, Matthew looked at Aurelia, a touch of cold indifference in his eyes. “Classmate?” he questioned.

“Right, I had arranged it when I got off the car earlier, just didn’t get the chance to tell you yet.”

“What a shame,” Zoe interjected.

She wished fervently that Aurelia would leave so she could have a peaceful meal alone with Matthew.

Glancing at his wristwatch, Matthew said, “I have a meeting coming up soon, you’ll have to eat on your own.”

Then he said to Aurelia, “I’ll take you there.”

And so, Matthew too, left.

The hospital room fell silent once again, leaving Zoe without a chance to speak.

Just a moment ago…

Matthew seemed as indifferent as ever to everything around him, but it was clear that he had. been watching Aurelia all along.

“Mdm. Stella, do you think Matthew likes Aurelia?”

Stella had been observing from the sidelines and it was clear to her. At her age, there wasn’t much she couldn’t discern. Zoe had feelings for Matthew, but it seemed that Matthew only had eyes for Aurelia. His feelings toward Zoe were more akin to that of a sibling.

“He must be fond of her,” Stella spoke, weaving a well–intended fib.

Although Matthew was known for not easily showing his emotions, he seemed to be a perfect match for Aurelia.
