Chapter 174

Aurelia thought he was mad and stood still.

She didn’t expect Leslie to walk over with a vacuum cleaner.

He started vacuuming the glass shards around her.

“Come here,” Leslie commanded.

“Okay.”

Aurelia tiptoed to try to avoid the water stains on the floor. However, her feet were still moist from taking

a shower and she slipped.

Her body fell forward and she yelled, “Ah!”

She instinctively reached out to grab something and accidentally pulled Leslie’s robe open.

Her fingers slid down Leslie’s chest, leaving three red marks from his chest to the waist.

Aurelia was frightened, and her hands trembled.

“Mr. Synder, are you okay? Let me wipe it for you.”

She reached out to check if there were any visible injuries and her fingers trailed down Leslie’s chest.

When her fingertips passed Leslie’s abdomen, she felt Leslie’s breath hitch and the muscles in his

abdomen tighten.

It was then she finally realized what she was doing



Before she could react, Leslie grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.

“Stop touching!”

“No, no, I was just…checking the wound.”

Aurelia explained nervously and realized how guilty she sounded,

She lowered her eyes and sneakily glanced at Leslie’s figure.

“Do you want to take a closer look?” Leslie said in a deep voice.

“Huh? No, I’ve seen enough. I mean…” Aurelia stammered.

She decided to shut her mouth.

Leslie calmly tied his loosened robe and poured Aurelia a glass of water.

“What happened?”

“Nothing.” Aurelia lowered her head, not wanting to bother Leslie with her own affairs.

“Hm?” Leslie’s voice was commanding.

Aurelia looked at Leslie and felt an odd sense of security. She decided to tell him about Millie.

Leslie sat across from her and said calmly, “You can be really stupid sometimes.”

Aurelia was speechless.

How does one even respond to that?

“Do you really think she cares about your money?” he continued

Bewildered, she asked, “Why did she ask me for money if it’s not money she wants?”

“She’s testing you to see if you still care about her. If you’re willing to lend her money, she’d think that

you’re still as easily manipulated as you were before. Perhaps that means you still have value to her.”

Value?

Aurelia’s face paled.

She took a sip of water to conceal the bitterness she felt.

She and Millie hit it off right away. They used to talk about everything, yet their friendship had boiled

down to nothing but values and gains.

Leslie frowned at the depressed look on her face.

Taking a moment to think, he said, “Do you owe her anything?”

“No.” Aurelia shook her head in confusion, not knowing why he was asking such a question.

“Then why are you upset? She is having a blast with her boyfriend now, right? Do you regret lending

her money?”

“What kind of logic is that?” she wondered. “Wait.”

She thought about what he said for a bit and realized something.

“Mr. Synder, were you perhaps trying to comfort me?” she asked gingerly.

He nodded seriously. “What else do you think I’m doing?”



She looked at him in shock.

Once she confirmed that he was serious, all her negative feelings faded and she let out some laughter.

Leslie’s expression darkened. “Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?”
