"What's wrong?" Could sothing have happened again?
"These past few days, I'm almost driven crazy by the journalists. I didn't expect the news about Eleanor Spencer to linger for so long. Now I even wear a mask when going out, afraid any reporter might recognize on the street and bombard with questions," complained Amanda Fuller.
Aurelia laughed lightly, "I saw online that you handled it very well."
Although she hadn't turned on her phone, she had been keeping up with the latest online happenings.
Especially the recent posts Amanda Fuller made on Weibo; the straightforward and concise tone was a clear indication that she hadn't written them.
With such a capable brother by her side, she felt reassured.
"Aurelia, be honest, was the issue with Eleanor Spencer deliberately orchestrated by my family's male idol, letting it hang out for so long?"
She was even more jealous that comnts ntioning Aurelia were so scarce.
Mason Nightshade didn't want any of those dirty matters to sully Aurelia.
Even the photos taken that day were suppressed, so now online, it was only known that Aurelia was a victim of a car accident, without any solid evidence disclosed.
That's precisely why journalists persistently pursued Aurelia's side without letting go.
Such a hot topic hanging on the trending list for half a month, just a whiff of a lead could get tabloid offices buzzing with excitent.
Aurelia froze for a mont, instinctively glancing at Mason Nightshade beside her.
Mason Nightshade felt her gaze, turned to look at her, eyes brimming with tenderness, as he reached over, gently ruffling her hair, doting on her as if soothing a beloved cat.
...
Aurelia had Mason take her to Cloud Pavilion Garden.
She hadn't been here for a long ti, but with Ursa Miller watching over the house, she wasn't worried about anything being stolen.
When she opened the door, Aurelia glanced at the door opposite; it seed Viscount wasn't in. Otherwise, after being missing for more than half a month, at the sound of her opening the door, he would have sprung out imdiately.
Opening the door, she saw Ursa's surprised face, "Au...Aurelia! Aurelia, you're finally back."
"Mom, Aurelia's back."
She didn't live here often, and she had previously promised Ursa to bring her family here since there were plenty of rooms.
Originally soone who enjoyed peace and quiet, Ursa and her mother took care of her daily life and seed to feel they owed her, trying to make it up to her in every way possible. Their presence didn't make her feel uncomfortable.
Galen ca out from the kitchen, also surprised and happy to see Aurelia, "Miss Aurelia, you're back. I'm just cooking; what would you like to eat? I'll go to the market now to buy so groceries."
Galen said this as he undid the apron he was wearing.
"Aunt Li, no need to trouble yourself. Just make sothing with whatever's at ho," Aurelia replied.
"Oh no, I must go buy a fish from the market and make a stew to nourish you. Oberon, co out quickly, Miss Aurelia is back," Galen called out towards the inside of the house.
Oberon ca out.
His slightly pale face showed a boyish shyness and a hint of surprise at seeing Aurelia, as he awkwardly lowered his head and murmured softly, "Au, Aurelia."
Originally, he wanted to address Aurelia formally like his mother, but upon seeing her, he couldn't bring himself to say the distant "Miss Aurelia."
From her, he felt a sense of safety that made him want to approach.
Just like having an older sister.
