Nathaniel looked up suddenly, and it startled Aurelia.
Did you go to the exhibition yesterday?” he asked.
Aurelia nodded awkwardly. “Ulysses mentioned there were some nice jewelry pieces, so I went to take a look.”
Nathaniel furrowed his brow, as she mentioned Ulysses again.
“Can’t you make friends with someone more normal?” he remarked.
Aurelia felt a wave of relief. He didn’t bring up anything else but just his usual disapproval of her association with Ulysses.
It meant he hadn’t suspected anything about her secret.
Aurelia smiled. “We’re all quite normal, Mr. Heilbronn. Maybe you should examine yourself a bit more.”
With that, Aurelia left without waiting for his reaction.
Zack glanced at Aurelia, feeling awkward, and thought to himself, Mr. Heilbronn is really possessive.
In the restroom, Aurelia ran into Chelsea, who was touching up her makeup.
When no one el
else was around, Chelsea, still with an air of arrogance, sild, “You’ve signed the divorce agreement, so why are you still
here? How much more do you want?”
Chelsea had feigned innocence for too long. Aurelia found Chelsea’s sudden directness intriguing and felt like having a conversation with
her.
“It’s not your money, so why are you in such a hurry? You should be more careful Every penny you spend now is considered our marital property. I, as his legal wife, have the right to claim it back. Even the cost of the room you two used and half of every meal should be pat

Chelsea snorted. “Stop pretending. Let’s get to the point. How much money do you want to leave him?”
“You should ask Nathaniel what it would take for him to let me go, Aurelia replied.

Chelsea’s expression darkened as she noticed the fresh hickey on Aurelia’s neck. It extended below her collar.
It was clearly left just recently, probably at noon.
The sight of the hickey filled Chelsea with jealousy.
“What have you two been doing? This is a company, not a place for you to seduce men.”
Aurelia walked past her to wash her hands, and only then did she see her neck, which she couldn’t bear to look at directly. Her mind kept replaying the scene from earlier.
She thought in anger, “He did it on purpose. He must have expected this, as well as the embarrassment I may have.”
Seeing Chelsea’s angry expression, Aurelia couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
“As a legally married couple, anything we do is reasonable. I don’t think you want to hear about the things that happen between

The doctor checked the needle on the back of Aurelia’s hand, as Aurel’s movement through the needle.
“The person who helped you with the hospital admission explained it.
“Who helped me with the hospital admission?”
The doctor tried to recall. “It seems to be a man named Felix.”
“Doctor, please keep my pregnancy a secret,”
The doctor sighed and walked out of the room.
Aurelia stared at the celling, her mind filled with thoughts. She had almost forgotten about Felix, the mysterious man who beat Norman up last time.
She took out her phone and found Felix’s contact information, sending a simple “Thank you” message,
Moments later, she received a reply: [Ms. Simona, don’t mention it. It’s my duty to keep your safety, and today’s incident was my negligence. Please feel free to give me any instructions.

When Aurelia woke up again, she felt a gaze on her face. When she had barely opened her eyes, she met Nathaniel’s concerned look. It was rare to see a hint of worry in his deep eyes.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
A sob caught Aurelia’s attention, and she looked over to see Chelsea standing there, crying. Aurelia couldn’t help but admire her acting skills; the filming industry definitely owed her an award.
Aurelia, are you okay? You scared us all, Chelsea said, her eyes red with worry.
Aurella felt that Chelsea’s red eyes were not from concern but rather from happiness. Seeing herself in such a state, Chelsea was clearly overjoyed. Or perhaps Chelsea was a bit disappointed that the accident didn’t take Aurelia’s life.
In any case, it wasn’t out of genuine concern.
Aurelia withdrew her hand in disgust.
“I’m a little hungry,” she said to Nathaniel.

I go buy some food for youL
It was rare for him to offer to go personally.
Chelsea stayed in the ward, knowing that Aurelia had something to say to her. This was the unspoken understanding between rivals.
“Say what you need to say quickly. You might not have such good luck text time.
Aurelia felt nauseated, confirming her suspicions.
“Chelsea. I’ve been putting up with you because Nathaniel promised to go through the divorce after the company’s press conference. you seem to be so anxious to get rid of me. In this case, dont blame me for being ruthless. I’ll treat you the way you treat ma
Chelsea snorted. Bring it on.”
Chelsea never believed that Aurelia, who was easily manipulated, could cause any trouble. Dealing with Aurelia was a piece of cake.
As they were talking, Nathaniel returned. He bought a sandwich. That was Aurelia’s favorite.
The tense atmosphere in the ward immediately became harmonious with his return.
There was no green–eyed jealousy from the love rivals, only deep sisterly affection.
Of course, Chelsea was acting. She too

Chelsea’s actions triggered Aurelia’s morning sickness, and she retched a few times, her face turning pale.
“Please stay away from me. Your smell makes me sick.”
Chelsea’s displeasure was evident, but she held back her anger in Nathaniel’s presence.
“You can leave,” Nathaniel said, stepping forward to take the food from Chelsea’s hand.
He took out a pair of disposable gloves from the box, put them on, and fed Aurelia the sandwich. It was the first time Aurelia had received such treatment, and she felt that she didn’t deserve it.
