Chapter 207
Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth
Chapter 207
Since everyone already found out Leslie was her husband, Aurelia felt that there was no point in hiding it.
âWeâre just walking around,â she said.
The colleague nodded, her eyes still fixated on Leslie.
Leslie looked handsome even in the blurry photo from the office group chat.
He looked even more dazzling in person.
Throughout her years of worshiping different celebrities, she could confidently say that no celebrity
could rival Leslie.
He had the perfect figure, looks, and demeanor.
Having such a man by oneâs side would truly be flattering.
It was no wonder that Kimberly would rather lie and say that this man was her boyfriend.
She wouldâve done the same as well.
Leslie sensed the colleagueâs stare on him and his expression darkened.
Worried he may get upset, Aurelia immediately blocked the colleagueâs gaze.
âWe wonât disturb you anymore. Weâll be going now.â
âDonât go. Since we ran into one another, we might as well shop together.â
The colleague squeezed into the gap between Aurelia and Leslie, before looking up at Leslie with a
smile.
âHey, handsome. You wouldnât mind, right? I know this area well.â
Aurelia frowned at how awkward the situation was.
She was about to stop her colleague when Leslie looked down coldly.
âI mind.â
âW⦠What?â the colleague asked in shock.
âI said I mind,â he repeated.
The colleague froze in place and Leslie pulled Aurelia away.
Aurelia had no option but to turn and shout, âWe will get going now.â
The colleague glared at Aurelia and scoffed.
She then took out her phone and snapped a photo of Aurelia with the flower basket, before sending it
to the group chat.

âI ran into Aurelia and her husband. Her husband is super handsome in person. Sheâs such a lucky woman. He even got her flowers.â She wrote.
She had followed Kimberly for a while and learned a lot from her.
With just one sentence, it instantly awakened the resting crowd on the weekend.
Aurelia took out her phone as it kept vibrating.
She looked at the photos and message and furrowed her brow.
âWhatâs wrong?â Leslie asked.
âTake a look.â Aurelia raised her phone.
âThe photo isnât so bad.â Leslie nodded.
The photo showed Leslie from behind and Aurelia in a white long dress.
She was holding an exquisite and petite flower basket that amplified her charm.
Indeed, it was well taken.
âMr. Synder, Iâm talking about her text, not the photo,â Aurelia said with resignation.
Only then did Leslie notice the message below.
But, before he could finish reading, other messages came in and flooded the group chat.
âThe flower basket looks pretty good, but⦠a grown man giving fake flowers probably doesnât take his wife seriously, right?â
âBeing handsome doesnât cut it either. If my husband gave me fake flowers, Iâll make him suffer.â
âWhen Seth and Aurelia were together, he at least gave her real flowers. Now, sheâs getting fake flowers after getting married. Are they really that poor?â
At this point, Millie joined in.
âActually, fake flowers are not bad. After all, Aureliaâs husband still has to repay the mortgage, and his salary is just average.â
âBuying fake flowers means he never has to buy them for a lifetime. Itâs pretty cost-effective. My boyfriend only knows how to waste money.â
Accompanying the text was a picture of Jackson giving Millie ninety-nine roses.
âWhen Aurelia and Seth were together, Seth even treated us to supper. After getting married, her husband doesnât do it. Doesnât that say something?â Millie typed.
â@Aurelia, Did you two not have a wedding banquet?â
â@Aurelia, letâs go out for a meal together. We can help you keep an eye on him.â

Aurelia didnât expect them to apply the same set of comments used on Kimberly to her.
She quickly retrieved her phone and awkwardly looked at Leslie.
âMr. Synder, donât take it to heart. Theyâre just joking.â
âMm.â
