I got caught up in the action and lost focus for a moment, or I wouldn't have gotten hurt at all. But don't worry, I'll survive. Let's head home; I'm famished,” Charlie replied, his tone breezy, as if brushing off the incident.

Xavier's expression darkened slightly.

Glancing at Aurelia, who still wore a concerned expression, he reassured her, "Charlie's tough as nails, he'll bounce back. Let's go, Mom's been waiting." "I can practically taste Mom's pot roast already!" Charlie exclaimed, looking eager to dig in.

"I'm looking forward to all of Mom's dishes," Aurelia chimed in, a hint of anticipation in her voice.

He felt like he had let them down, failed in his duty as an older brother to protect them from harm.

Matthew arrived back at Starry Sea Mansion unusually early that day.

For hours, from just after seven until past ten, he remained seated in the living room, immersed in a book.

His recent business trip had kept him away for over a week.

If he didn't remember the fact that he was married, the current serenity of the mansion might have convinced him he was still single.

The light in his eyes dimmed, and he glanced at the wall clock-it read half past eleven.

Did she not cback at all while I was away on my business trip? He rubbed his temples, and the memory of Aurelia's pale face in the hospital lingered in his mind.

It seemed she still had feelings for Curtis.

When Aurelia finally returned to Starry Sea Mansion, it was already half past twelve.

She lost track of twhile spending twith her family, chatting and sharing a meal.

Startled by Matthew's presence, she greeted him with a hint of surprise. "Mr. Quigley, you're back." She had expected him to be away for a couple more days, considering he had just met up with Angela and probably wouldn't want to part so soon.

Matthew looked in Aurelia's direction.

After greeting him, Aurelia headed straight upstairs without another word.

Chapter 68 Not Know Her Well Enough "Wait a moment. Matthew's voice halted Aurelia's tracks.

Finished She turned toward him, a mix of apprehension and curiosity in her gaze. "Do you need something. Mr. Quigley?" she asked, bracing herself for a potentially difficult conversation about divorce.

She had been prepared mentally, but still, her heart sank.

Matthew's next words caught her off guard. "If you have ttomorrow, cwithto the Quigley residence," he said, his eyes holding a depth of emotion that she couldn't quite deciph the Quigley Is she still affected by Curtis? Is that scoundrel really worth her time? Aurelia was in a daze. It wasn't what she had expected. He wasn't broaching the subject of divorce; instead, he was inviting her to visit Mabel with him.

She nodded. "All right," she replied softly, taking a step up the stairs.

But before she could ascend further, another thought struck her, prompting her to pause. "Thank you for today at the hospital,” she added earnestly.

Gordon probably offered to help her find a lawyer because Matthew had instructed him to do so.

Without their assistance, Curtis and his mother might not have backed down so easily.

Matthew stared into Aurelia's eyes. "Could you let go of the relationship you've shared with him for years?" Yeah, he's right. Our relationship lasted for years, and life's already too short.

Aurelia's gaze darkened.

Reflecting on the years she had squandered on a worthless man always filled her with regret, wishing she could curse her past self for her blindness Matthew noticed Aurelia's brief silence and felt a surge of irritation.

"I won't allow such a mistake to occur again. I'll simply regard those youthful years as wasted and move on, Aurelia said, her tone laced with indifference.

Matthew's mood instantly improved. His lips curled into a smile as he remarked, “It's getting late. You should rest." "All right, goodnight," Aurelia replied.

A few minutes later, Matthew set down his book and made his way upstairs.

Suddenly, the notification sound from Whaton his mobile phone broke the silence.

He checked the message as he walked.

It was a text from Angela that read: Good night, Mr. Quigley.

Matthew didn't respond and simply switched his phone to silent mode instead.

Finished Earlier that day, she had confirmed with him about the alumni reunion scheduled for three days later, hoping he would be able to attend.

The alumni reunion would've been meaningless if he didn't show up.

Earlier that afternoon, he responded curtly: I'll see first.

Now, however, he did not reply to her goodnight message. Perhaps he was already asleep, or maybe he had seen her message but chose not to reply.

The uncertainty left a bitter taste in Angela's mouth.

While she could guess the thoughts of others, she failed to decipher what was on Matthew's mind.

Is it really that hand to warm up to him? As Aurelia descended the stairs to make breakfast the next morning, she found the table already s set with her favorite croissants and a selection of sides, Matthew approached with two glasses of milk. "Grandma sent breakfast," he informed her.

She accepted a glass from him, noting its comforting warmth. "The milk's temperature is just right," she remarked, her smile radiant.

Matthew found himself momentarily captivated by the curve of her smiling eyes. "You're welcome," he replied.

"Croissants are the best." Aurelia took a bite, savoring it with evident satisfaction.

The pastry was delightfully flaky and delicious, a testament to its quality. It was evident that it had been prepared en that it! by a chef from the Quigley residence, rather than purchased from an outside bakery. "When you're craving it, just call Evelyn and have her arrange for someone to deliver it," suggested Matthew. Aurelia shook her head, not wanting to inconvenience others. "No need. The Quigley residence is too far from Starry Sea Mansion. It takes more than an hour just to travel back and forth." She didn't need to eat croissants every day, or she might get sick of them.

However, she appreciated Matthew's offer.

It had probably been over a week since they last met, and Aurelia felt that he seemed easier to get along with than before.

A sudden realization dawned on her.

"Just yesterday, I attended an interview with Old Mr. Gardner's team and secured the position. Today's my first official day at work. As it's my first day, I'll need to familiarize myself with the surroundings, so I might end up working a tad late." Aurelia responded between bites. Upon learning that Aurelia had joined Norman's team, Matthew was somewhat surprised. "Old Mr. Gardner's team?" "Yeah."

Only then did Matthew realize that he was didn't truly know her as deeply as he thought. When he was young he had been well-acquainted with Norman. Norman held stringent standards regarding work; one had to pass various tests and earn his approval to join his team. The mere fact that Aurelia had managed to secure a position on Norman's team hinted at her exceptional talent.
