Chapter 6 Chelsea’s Heart Disease

Nathaniel’s guilt towards Aurelin vanished in an instant.

He let go of her hand and walked away in anger.

Ashley, wanting to vent her frustration, turned back and caught Nathaniel and Aurelia in a tender moment. She took a photo and sent it to Chelsen.

The table was set with a variety of dishes, and the butler called everyone to the dining room.

Finally, the lobster, which Ashley had been looking forward to, was served and placed next to Aurelia.

While Reed was distracted, Ashley swapped the lobster with a salad.

As the meal began, Aurelia noticed that there was more lobster on her plate.

She looked up to see Marcus Heilbronn, Nathaniel’s uncle, smiling kindly at her. Marcus was the child Reed had in his later years. Due to Nathaniel’s parents‘ late marriage and childbearing, Marcus was only four years older than Nathaniel, making them practically the same age. Marcus had been in poor health since childhood and had been receiving treatment abroad. He had just returned to the country. He was an elegant gentleman, unlike Nathaniel..

Aurelia smiled politely at him and said, “Uncle Marcus, thank you. I can help myself.”

“No, please, and there’s more, Marcus replied.

Aurelia sensed that something was amiss. She glanced at Nathaniel, who seemed to be warning her not to eat it.

Suddenly, the lobster on her plate seemed to be less alluring.

She was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to eat it or not.

Reed noticed the situation and called out to the kitchen. “Why is there just a little lobster? Where

is the rest?”

Mary quickly brought a large plate of prepared lobster and explained, “The table was too full earlier, and there wasn’t enough space.”

Ashley, angry, was about to get up and fetch the lobster.

Just then, Beatrice pointed to the lobster in front of her and said, “Eat these.” Reed scolded Nathaniel, who was busy eating, “Help Aurelia with the lobster. You’re so inconsiderate. I really don’t know why Aurelia likes you.”

Aurelia’s palms began to sweat. Nathaniel hated dealing with lobster. He found it troublesome and usually didn’t eat it. At home, Aurelia always prepared the lobster for him.

To her surprise, Nathaniel picked up a lobster. Soon, Aurelia’s plate was filled with lobster meat. Thanks to Reed, she had a chance to let Nathaniel serve her.

Halfway through the meal, Nathaniel’s phone rang again. He wiped his hands on a napkin and headed to the living room balcony with his phone. Watching him make the call, Aurelia had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, about two minutes later, he grabbed his suit jacket and prepared to leave, looking

extremely anxious.

Reed was angry. “Where are you going in the middle of the meal?” Nathaniel had already changed. his shoes and was about to open the door.

He couldn’t ignore Reed. “A friend of mine had a heart attack, and I need to go there and have a

look.”

Aurelia suddenly became uneasy.

Reed knew what was going on. “Don’t use your friend as an excuse. I know it’s that woman. You are married. Stay away from that woman. Why does she have a heart attack every day? If she’s

sick, she should call an ambulance. Are you a doctor? She should go and have her head checked.

She knows you have a wife, and she’s still bothering you. She’s really crazy.”

Nathaniel was in a hurry and didn’t have time to argue with Reed. He opened the door and walked

out.

Reed was angry and lost his appetite. The atmosphere became tense, and no one dared to continue eating.

“Foolish! The Heilbronn Group will be destroyed sooner or later by him and that woman.”

They finally managed to sit down for a meal, but the atmosphere was ruined.

Ashley, of course, would take advantage of the opportunity to taunt Aurelia.

She took the chance to say, “My brother probably won’t be back tonight. Chelsea just returned to

the country the day before, and they must have a lot to talk about. My brother even threw at

welcome party for her yesterday. They’ve been apart for three years and are still deeply in love. I’m

so moved.”

Just the thought of provoking Aurelia made Ashley’s words sound exaggerated.

Beatrice couldn’t stop her.

Reed slammed his utensils on the table, his breathing becoming rapid. He pointed at Ashley and reprimanded, “You’re not allowed to get close to that woman either. You’d better not go

20 out

recently. Stay at home and learn how to speak properly.”

This time, Ashley was completely silenced.

In the end, everyone was unhappy.

Aurelia wanted to sneak away while Nathaniel was gone. Her luggage was still in Ulysses’s car.

Just as she had this thought, Beatrice approached her for a chat.

Beatrice was elegant and gentle in her speech.

Aurelia couldn’t understand how someone as easygoing as Beatrice could have a son as cold as Nathaniel and a daughter as arrogant as Ashley.

‘Aurelia and Beatrice only interacted a little regularly, so there wasn’t much conflict between

them. Beatrice rarely disturbed her and Nathaniel’s life at the Bloom Villa,

Beatrice’s sudden enthusiasm made Aurelia a little unsure.

“Aurelia, stay here tonight. I bought a nightgown for you and Ashley when I went shopping last

time. I’ll get it for you to try on.”

“Mom, thank you.”

Mentioning the gift, Aurelia remembered the ruby necklace that Nathaniel gave her in the car. She knew that Beatrice liked red, so she took the box out of her bag and gave it to Beatrice.

“Mom, this is the new product that Nathaniel is going to launch next season. I think it suits you

better.”

Beatrice’s face lit up with surprise, and she immediately fell in love with the necklace.

“This necklace is different from the previous ones of the Heilbronn Group. It’s more stunning.

Aurelia smiled helplessly. “It was designed by a new designer Nathaniel hired from abroad.”

Beatrice didn’t know the truth. She held the necklace and praised the designer of the necklace.

In the evening, Aurelia returned to the room and stared at the period tracking app on her phone. Her period was already two weeks late, and she hadn’t noticed it at all.

At this moment, she felt a sense of unease.

When Aurelia thought of the pregnancy test report sent by Chelsea, her last bit of hope vanished. Even if she were pregnant, Nathaniel wouldn’t care. He would only look forward to Chelsea’s child.

She felt that Nathaniel probably wouldn’t come back today.

Aurelia felt restless and went to the rooftop terrace alone.

The May night in Imperick was still a bit cold. Aurelia wrapped her shirt tightly around her.

There was a bright moon in the night sky, along with a few stars.

The quiet environment reminded Aurelia of her deceased mother and the mysterious car accident

that still had no clues.

The police concluded that it was a brake failure, but Aurelia firmly believed that things were not that simple. The car her mother was driving was new, and it was highly unlikely to have such a basic malfunction unless it was deliberately tampered with.

Aurelia was lost in her thoughts, and the sound of the door locking brought her back. She turned around and saw Ashley waving the keys at her, making a face.
