Chapter 59: Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Someone He Likes On the other end of the phone, there was silence for a few seconds..

Then, the woman softly said, “All right. I will relay the message to Mr. Hoffman.”

Nancy’s brows furrowed slightly after she hung up the phone. “He changed his secretary mc.”

Aurelia heard Nancy murmuring to herself and asked, “What’s wrong?”

BOX Finished without telling Nancy chuckled. “It’s nothing. My husband is in a meeting and couldn’t answer my call, so his secretary did. Strangely, his previous secretary was doing a great job. Why did she quit? Never mind, I don’t need to worry about his work matters. It’s just a pity. I wanted to be the first to learn about the gossip but missed out. When I see him tonight, I’ll definitely ask him about it. After that, I’ll share the gossip about Matthew and Angela with you.”

“All right. I’ll be waiting for your firsthand news,” Aurelia said with a smile.

The two individuals went to roam around the mall once again.

Nancy had fervently purchased a large pile of items.

Aurelia also bought clothes and even purchased a set of clothes for her adoptive mother, Phyllis.

The two reaped bountiful rewards.

Justin had sent a driver to pick up Nancy. Watching Nancy get into the car with a face full of happiness. Aurelia also headed to the parking lot.

Not long after exiting the underground parking lot, while waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Aurelia felt a bit stuffy inside the car and rolled down the window.

She suddenly realized that it seemed someone was watching her, so she turned her head to look.

There, she saw Matthew in the car across the street.

He was looking at her, seemingly surprised to see her.

Through the rolled–down car window, Aurelia saw Matthew and Angela Sanders sitting together.

The Angela seen on television was already quite beautiful, but the Angela before her eyes was even more. stunning, with exceptionally delicate features.

At first glance, she was clearly a woman of exceptional upbringing and wealth, a perfect woman.

Perhaps sensing that Matthew was looking outside, Angela also turned his gaze toward Aurelia.

Women were naturally endowed with a particularly accurate intuition.

The moment Angela laid eyes on Aurelia, she furrowed her brows. She noticed that Matthew seemed to be spending a considerable amount of time looking at the woman in the car across from them.

For as long as the red light lasted, that was how long he watched.

1/4 Chapter 61 Someone He Likes Finished Aurelia quickly regained her composure, averting her gaze and pretending not to recognize Matthew. fearing it might arouse Angela’s suspicion.

The moment the green light illuminated, Aurelia floored the accelerator and shot off.

It was as if she was on the run. Had there not been a speed limit in the city, she would have certainly left that street far behind.

After she had traveled a certain distance, Aurelia found the situation somewhat amusing.

Even though she was his lawfully wedded wife, seeing her husband with another woman made her feel guilty as if she was the one doing something wrong.

However, she and Matthew, who were technically married only on paper, indeed needed to set clear boundaries on the surface.

Meanwhile, Chad seldom visited the place where Norman worked.

Over the past few days, Norman had been very busy, to the point where one could hardly catch a glimpse of him.

Everyone in Norman’s team knew Chad, and they greeted him warmly when they saw him arrive.

“Which floor is my grandpa on?” Chad asked one of them.

“Old Mr. Gardner is resting on the sixth floor.”

Upon learning where Norman was, Chad immediately took the elevator to the sixth floor.

The sixth floor was the lounge.

In the team, after a tiring day of work, people could head to the sixth floor for a cup of coffee and a stroll on the treadmill.

The fitness equipment there was comprehensive.

Although Norman was advanced in age, he always prioritized a balance between work and rest.

When Chad reached the sixth floor, he saw Norman walking on the treadmill.

Chad then took several large strides and ran over. “Grandpa, I’ve finally found you.”

Upon hearing Chad’s voice, Norman nearly fell on the treadmill. He immediately grabbed onto the treadmill, glanced at Chad, and asked with a hint of annoyance, “Why are you here?”

“It’s been several days since you last saw me. Don’t you miss me, Grandpa?” Chad asked with a hint of melancholy in his voice.

Norman scoffed. “Why would I miss you?”

Chad had grown accustomed to being despised, so it didn’t bother him much. He turned on a treadmill nearby and began to walk, saying as he did, “Old man, you may despise me, but it’s not like I’m particularly fond of you either, okay? I just think that, given your age, your vision must be failing at times.”

“My eyesight is excellent. Just yesterday. I restored a porcelain vase. Are doesn’t determine everything you Chapter 61 Someone He Likes Finished rascal. If you have something to say, say it directly. No need for your sarcasm.” Norman glared at Chad. He came over in a huff, undoubtedly still intending to bring over the young girl he had mentioned before.

Chad grew up before Norman’s very eyes, so the latter was well aware of the former’s character.

Over the past couple of days, Norman had carefully reviewed the Aurelia profile.

Although there were photos to prove the things she had restored, photos could be fabricated. A resume, however, could not deceive people.

Judging from Aurelia’s experience, Norman thought she couldn’t restore the things in the photo.

Hence, he thought Aurelia wasn’t being honest.

He wouldn’t allow someone dishonest on his team.

“I’m being serious with you. Aurelia is truly remarkable.” Chad was genuinely anxious. “The two paintings she restored for David have already been sent to the auction house. I’ve seen with my own eyes how she works on them every day at David’s place. I hate to upset you, but I believe her restoration work is better than yours.

Norman didn’t believe it at all. “Stop trying to fool me with these excuses.

“Here’s the deal, old man. I’ll resign from David’s company to devote myself to learning from you. The condition is that you interview Aurelia. If she really is as incapable as you say, I will live in this building for a year, studying the basics every day. How does that sound? Once this opportunity is gone, it’s gone for good. In our family, I’m the only one with a bit of talent in this field.

You can’t rely on anyone else to carry on your skills, only me.” With a grit of his teeth, Chad made a decision.

Norman gritted his teeth in frustration, but he truly had his weak spot seized by Chad. Fine! Let’s find out what spell this young lady used on Chad. Once she’s in front of me, everything will be revealed.

“All right. Tell her to come tomorrow,” Norman said.

Chad scratched his head. “You should do it. She still doesn’t know that I am your grandson.”

This time, Norman was somewhat taken aback. “What? Does she not know your identity?”

Norman still felt that Chad was deceiving him.

“No. She doesn’t know. She thinks I’m just an ordinary worker, sometimes even worrying that I might not have enough to eat.

Aurelia is not the kind of girl you imagine. You’ll understand when you see her.” Chad felt a bit awkward as if Norman had discovered one of his secrets.

Norman stopped the treadmill, wiped his sweat, and squinted at Chad. “All right, is she the kind of girl I have in mind? Let’s find out.”

Does he think I’m into Aurelia? Feeling somewhat uneasy under the watchful gaze of Norman, Chad hurriedly said, “Let’s go.

Uncle Jeremy is getting engaged tonight. My parents can’t make it back, so it’s essential for both of us to attend.”

Glancing at the time, Norman said, “I almost forgot about it!”

A twitch tugged at the corner of Chad’s mouth. He’s even forgotten about his own son’s engagement party, yet he still stubbornly claims to have a good memory. What a hardheaded man, indeed!

Starry Sea Mansion than she received a photo sent by The photo showed that Matthew and Angela were engaged in a toast and conversation, and there were also other people around.
