He caught her delicate fingers and put them into his mouth, gently biting with his teeth, "Do you want me to be your loyal dog?"
Aurelia Shaw squinted, thinking to herself: What's he up to again? Testing her?
She tried to pull her hand back, but the grip on her finger, though not heavy, was just strong enough to keep her from retrieving it.
Aurelia remained silent for a moment, then looked up, her face tainted with a rosy blush of shyness, gazing at him with a mesmerized look, "Hus...husband, do you really mean it?"
Mason Nightshade was taken aback, always maintaining composure and sharp-mindedness, his mind went blank for a brief moment, as if his heart had been struck hard. The woman's shy yet entranced face collided with his pupils, overlapping with the still sleeping innocent, shy face in his mind. Alwаys rеаd frоm thе sоurсе: М|V|LЕ4МРYR.
The black pupils tinged with a hint of ardor, Mason gazed deeply at Aurelia, reflecting her solitary figure within, gradually enlarging, even his breathing became slow and fervent.
"Xiao Jian..." he murmured in a trance, moving closer, his breath growing hotter, brushing past her rosy lips.
Aurelia suddenly widened her eyes, clarity and coldness flashing through her gaze, her hands pressing against his chest, turning her head to pull back—"Buzz—Buzz—" a series of urgent rings interrupted the intimate atmosphere.
Mason's body stiffened, glanced at her, finally, he reached into his pocket, took out the vibrating phone, seeing the number on it, he frowned slightly, moved Aurelia to another seat, and said, "I'll take a call first."
He walked out of the restaurant holding the phone.
Aurelia sat on the chair, strands of hair loosely falling by her ears, the eyes beneath them cold and dark, Xiao Jian, the name Mason murmured when he was about to kiss her.
Is that Eleanor Spencer's nickname?
Ha... was she just being treated as a stand-in?
Recently, Mason's sudden change in attitude towards her, was it because he regarded her as another woman's substitute?
Aurelia's fingers quietly tightened, the eyes under her hair cold as ice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, this hurt more than when he ignored or neglected her in their previous life, her sincere feelings discarded like garbage on the ground.
"What?! Has the doctor gone over yet? I'm heading there immediately." Mason's voice came through from outside, footsteps approached, Mason walked in and said to Aurelia, "I have an urgent matter; I need to head out."
He looked at the table full of food, then at Aurelia, softening his tone, he said, "You eat first, I'll be back early."
He stroked her hair, not noticing the coldness in her gaze, turned around, and walked out briskly.
The car lights flashed past the window, gradually driving away. Inside the restaurant, silence reigned, the servants cautiously observing Aurelia's expression, although most of them were watching for entertainment, none expected the young master to leave so abruptly. The young madam must be feeling terrible, and they feared getting involved.
Previously, whenever the Young Madam was upset or suffered grievances from the young master, she would vent her frustration on them.
This was also why the servants disliked her.
Mrs. Li smiled smugly, hmm, it seemed she didn't need to intervene after all. The young master just saw her as a plaything. She truly thought she'd captured the young master's heart and would rise to the top like a phoenix.
"Clear the dishes," Aurelia stood up and said.
