While Aurelia was still dazed, the mysterious person behind Alexander showed his true face.
Aurelia’s hand flew to her mouth as she nearly shrieked.
“Don’t be so surprised…” Alexander was trying to hold back his laugh as well.
How could she not be surprised, though?
When the two of them entered just now, Aurelia had thought that the one following Alexander was a… maid!
She scanned Neil from head to toe with widened eyes.
He was in a short-sleeved blouse and a long narrow skirt—a large-sized long narrow skirt. He was even wearing
floral-embroidered flats and had a headscarf.
If one did not look carefully, one would think he was just a maid with a bigger build! This maid with a bigger build
had walked in swaying hips just now!
Aurelia’s face was growing red. When she saw Neil’s glower, she could no longer hold herself back. A loud giggle
escaped along with her tears.
“Shh!” Alexander shushed her and asked Neil to wear the headscarf properly. There were still guards and maids at
the door, and nothing was secure.
Alexander strolled outside and waved a hand to dismiss those people. “I’m here to visit my aunt. Aurelia alone is
enough here. You’re dismissed for now.”
“Your Highness, but…” The guards were wary.
“Why? Must I be supervised when I visit my aunt?”
The guards quickly shook their heads and were gone in the blink of an eye.
Now that the hall was safe, Neil pulled the headscarf off and breathed in relief. It was only then Aurelia dared to
cackle loudly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“And you’re still laughing!” Neil glared at her.
“Uncle…” Aurelia was heaving. “Why this… hahaha! Why are you pretending to be a maid?”
“Because Neil can’t enter the palace as he wishes,” Alexander explained. “And if the two of us appear at the west
palace together, it’ll attract the attention of Aunt Carmella’s spies. So I came up with this idea for him to act as my
servant.”
“Why not a guard?”
“A guard is too aggressive and will also attract attention.” Alexander chuckled. “Besides, it is easier to dress up as a
maid. Just the uniform, and we’re set. If he acts as a guard, I have to prepare the weapons for him—too
troublesome!”
Neil shot him a death glare.
Alexander cleared his throat and said, “This is the hardest role Mr. Neil Harris, the award-winning actor, has played.
Ms. Chilton, seize the chance and chat with him. I’ll wait outside!”
He flashed them a smile and left, closing the door behind him.
Aurelia and Neil stared at each other for some time before bursting into laughter together.
Neil went up to pull her into a hug. Aurelia struggled a little and let him hug her when she could not shove him
away.
Speaking of which… his hug was comfortable.
She pressed her ear against his chest and listened seriously.
“What are you doing?” Neil’s voice was a little husky, his gaze indulging.
Aurelia smiled. “Listening to your heartbeat!”
“What do you mean? Trying to make sure whether the one hugging you is a man or a ghost?”
“You!” Aurelia punched him. “I heard Cordelia say that she likes staying in Mr. Z’s arms the most. When I asked her
why, she said that his heartbeat is the best sound in the world!”
She blinked and pouted.
“But I think… Cordelia’s wrong. Your heartbeat sounds the best!”
Neil froze, and his heart could not help beating faster. He looked down at her.
Since she was “invited” into the palace by Carmella ten days ago, she had never left. Only God knew what he had
gone through these ten days!
He could not contact her and did not know if she was safe. He was unable to see her smile or hear her voice… Neil
felt worse than a cat on a hot tin roof—he was like a cat on a flaming roof!
Even with Alexander’s help as he could go in and out of the palace with the convenience of his status and could
help him protect Aurelia in secret—even when Rowan had told him that Aurelia was a great help staying at the west
palace and that he would ensure her safety—Neil had still suffered.
When sleep lost him, he would pull out his phone to watch the video again and again. The girl was like a brave,
righteous warrior, not flinching even against the queen.
“I won’t exchange Neil for anything!
“I’ll let him know that I’m worthy of him!”
Neil would keep watching and chuckle when he came to this part. As he chuckled, his tears would fall too.
He finally had the chance for Alexander to take him in today. Although a maid was was and would be safer, the idea
of it definitely included Alexander’s mind to prank him!
Let him prank him, then. He just wanted to see Aurelia. As long as he was not pranked to death, anything could go.
“Hey.” Neil swayed the girl in his arms. “Are you done listening?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia was enjoying herself with her eyes closed.
“Say, we only get to meet for 20 minutes. Are you going to stay like this for all 20 minutes?”
“Hmm, why not?” Aurelia replied with a giggle.
“You…” Neil swallowed the word brat.
The moment he saw the video clip, he had decided to turn a new leaf. He was going to be nice and elegant and
would not lash out at her so impulsively.
It was just that they seemed to be used to being rough with each other being together.
Neil suddenly recalled his lines from the films he had acted in the past. He had acted in roles of a domineering
bossy CEO too, and the lines were fresh in his mind.
He smiled and got into character in the blink of an eye. “Sigh, you rascal!”
“Huh?” Aurelia snapped her head up with widened eyes.
Neil’s “rascal” seemed to have gone through several turns in his throat as it was tinged with some teasing,
mockery, and indulgence… It creeped Aurelia out as she had goosebumps!
However, Neil seemed happy with his performance, thinking that he was good with his lines still. He yanked Aurelia
to pin her against the wall and supported himself against it with an arm and a cool look.
Aurelia did not know how many ridiculous idol dramas he had filmed in the past. The male leads were as if factory-
produced—always brimming with confidence and an overbearing smirk, always the same.
“Woman, you’re the first person to hear my heartbeat! You’ve successfully attracted my attention!”
Aurelia looked at him with a grimace. What kind of romance drama was this? This was more like a horror film!
Neil thought that he had won her over with this and stroked his chin, considering that the next step would be a kiss.
However, just as he slowly leaned in, the back of his head felt like something hit him!
It was a pillow?
What came together with the pillow was a loud, crisp voice. “Let her go!”
