Aurelia Shaw's red lips pressed together, her eyes cold and distant, her brows furrowed slightly in confusion.
She suddenly thought of how Mason Nightshade looked when she ca out of the bathroom, seemingly in a panic looking for her, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear.
She had seen this expression before... on her first night back with the crew, during a al break she left and ran into Hadrian Turner halfway, so she returned a bit late.
When she returned to the room, she saw Mason Nightshade sitting on the sofa looking desolate, and when he saw her, there was a flash of relieved joy in his eyes, mingled with a slight fear and tension.
Aurelia felt a twinge of suspicion in her heart, but she didn't ask.
She brushed his hand away, her tone sowhat aloof, "Go change your clothes first."
Mason looked up at her, feeling that her attitude towards him had grown a lot colder, but... maybe she was just hungry.
Her mood often swung unpredictably, quite willful.
Mason didn't think too much of it.
"Okay, wait here for for a bit."
Mason picked up the clothes from the bed, glanced at his phone, picked it up, and opened it.
Aurelia watched his expression change, but to her dismay, there was none. He rely glanced at it indifferently and then slipped the phone into his pants pocket before taking the clothes into the bathroom to change.
Aurelia's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Have I been deceived again?
...
During the al, Aurelia didn't speak, and Mason was naturally a man of few words. Previously, when they ate together, it was usually Aurelia making requests and Mason would fulfill them, or he'd serve her dishes, choose condints... and so on.
Breakfast was simple, so none of that was necessary.
After the al, Mason intended to take her back, but Amanda Fuller had co to pick up Aurelia.
"Mr. Ye," Amanda Fuller greeted Mason warmly and explained, "Aurelia has another engagent to rush to later, I called her this morning, and she said you were here, so I drove straight over."
Mason nodded.
Seeing Aurelia erge from inside, Amanda quickly walked over and opened the door of the nanny van.
With Mason around, she wasn't worried about any harmful scandals swirling around Aurelia.
Aurelia got into the car, and Amanda, seated inside, waved to Mason, "Mr. Ye, we'll be off then."
Mason nodded, his gaze swept past Amanda and landed on Aurelia. The latter looked down at her phone, oblivious to his gaze, a sense of loss welling up in his dark eyes.
Amanda felt sothing, nudged Aurelia's arm, and upon seeing Aurelia's unchanged expression, she imdiately understood sothing, and waved energetically at Mason again.
"Mr. Ye, we're in a hurry to make the engagent, so we're leaving now. Driver, please go."
The car slowly pulled away for so distance before Aurelia looked up from her phone.
She closed her eyes, tilting her head back, and exhaled deeply.
Carefully, Amanda asked, "Did you and Mr. Ye have a fight?"
Aurelia shook her head.
If only it were as simple as a fight. But between her and Mason, nothing had ever been as simple as a fight.
He had clearly promised her, so why was he secretly surveilling her father again? What had happened between her father and Mason Nightshade?
"Amanda, I..."
Aurelia hadn't finished her sentence when the phone in her pocket rang first.
Seeing the caller ID, her brows furrowed and her heart suddenly started pounding uneasily.
"Hello, Dad."
"Miss, you need to co to the hospital quickly, your father is in trouble."
"!"
Aurelia sat up abruptly, "Stop the car! To the city center hospital! Quick!"
