Mason Nightshade could tell she didn’t want to go back, although he didn’t know why, "After our marriage, you haven’t returned to your family, and I also have some matters to discuss with your father..."
Aurelia Shaw coldly interrupted Mason Nightshade.
Ha, speaking so grandly, in the end, it’s all for himself! No wonder, she has never heard the word ’father-in-law’ from his mouth in all these years. When did Mason Nightshade ever compromise? Turns out he wants to gain some benefit from her.
For some reason, Aurelia felt a tinge of disappointment.
Mason Nightshade looked into Aurelia’s dimming eyes, and his gaze deepened. With long strides, he walked up to her, extending his long arms to the woman who was a head shorter than him.
"The car from Hua Can is waiting outside; I’ll carry you out."
Saying this, Mason Nightshade bent down, wrapping his long arms beneath Aurelia’s knees. Even before he could lift her up, Aurelia instinctively retreated several steps. It was so sudden that she forgot about her injured foot. Lightly tapping the ground with her toes, her actions were surprisingly fluid, and she felt no pain.
She just stared fixedly at him.
Mason Nightshade’s handsome face instantly darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Do you not want your foot anymore!"
Aurelia frowned, raising her chin.
"Mason Nightshade, can’t you speak more nicely? What do you mean I don’t want my foot anymore? Weren’t you the one bullying me just now? And now you remember my foot, is this pretending to be kind while actually being cruel?"
"Ha! Even if my foot is crippled, it’s none of your concern!"
With that, Aurelia seemed to be throwing a tantrum, turned and walked away. Her injured foot lightly tapped the ground, limping away stubbornly without a moment’s hesitation or pause.
Even Aurelia herself didn’t know why she was so angry.
Behind her, footsteps approached.
Before Aurelia could walk out the door, a large hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and a tall figure swiftly bent down, scooping her up horizontally, bouncing her twice before holding her tightly in his arms.
Deep, dark eyes fixed upon her.
"Who said I’m angry?"
"If you’re not angry, then what are you doing?" Mason Nightshade said in a deep voice, noting how she cared so little for her own body. "Once your leg is healed, you can run and jump as you wish, but before it’s healed, don’t even think about exhausting yourself!"
"What does exhausting myself have to do with you!" Aurelia was so angry that her cheeks puffed out, and her beautiful eyes glared at Mason Nightshade.
Mason Nightshade said quietly, "You are my wife!"
"Is it so wrong that I admit my mistake? I regret liking you, regret forcing you to marry me, and now I realize my error. Can’t I just leave on my own and initiate a divorce?" Aurelia said with a mocking smile.
Mason Nightshade’s cold and handsome face immediately darkened, his eyes pitch-black, anger boiling in their depths, and he gritted his teeth, "Divorce, not a chance! Not only is there no door, but I’ll also close the windows for you! In this life, you are Mason Nightshade’s woman. In the next life, and the life after next... always are!"
"If you want a divorce, as long as I don’t agree, there’s no way you’ll succeed!"
With a loud "bang," Mason Nightshade kicked the door open, striding out. It was clear he was angry, with a sullen face, not saying a word, not even glancing at her, as if one more word from her would infuriate him to death.
In the corner behind the door, Audrey Wood stood there, her expression changing constantly, her deep gaze fixed on the two figures walking away.
Aurelia Shaw was actually Mason Nightshade’s wife, and she hadn’t noticed at all.
Thinking of what she had done to Aurelia, a trace of viciousness flashed in Audrey Wood’s eyes as she took out her phone and snapped several photos of the two’s backs.
