“Let’s go.”

“Okay… ouch!”

Aurelia lowered her head to inspect her foot and was surprised to find a scrape on her ankle.

Fortunately, the wound wasn’t deep.

She gritted her teeth, put on her shoes, and limped alongside Leslie.

As she stood on the escalator, someone bumped into her. When she exerted force on her foot

to regain her balance, a sharp pain shot through her ankle, making her sway for a moment.

Leslie helped to steady her.

“Stand closer,” Leslie said gruffly.

“Alright, thank you.”

Aurelia took a small step closer to him, but it was so small that it seemed as if she hadn’t moved at all.

Leslie glanced at her. Without hesitation, he pulled her into his embrace.

She stiffened, and she quickly lowered her head.

He couldn’t see her expression clearly, but he could clearly see the tips of her ears turning red.

She was surprisingly shy.

Aurelia always gave him a contradictory feeling. Which side of her was the real one?



The atmosphere felt awkward, so Aurelia randomly brought up a topic.

“Mr. Synder, why did you take the train today?”

“A colleague borrowed my car. It’ll only be returned tomorrow morning.”

Actually, it was one of his subordinates who had needed a car so that he could take his parents back to

their hometown, but he didn’t dare to use Leslie’s luxury cars for fear of attracting

attention.

Aurelia nodded and did not pursue the topic further.

After exiting the subway station, Aurelia slightly increased the distance between the two of

them.

To her surprise, she found that Leslie seemed to have no intention of doing the same. He even

accommodated her with smaller steps.

She glanced at Leslie cautiously. His face was as handsome as ever, but it lacked its usual cold.

demeanor.

“Watch your step.”

Leslie suddenly lowered his head to meet her eyes.

Surprised, Aurelia quickened her pace, forgetting about her injured foot.

“Ouch, ouch…” Aurelia hissed in pain.



Leslie was inexplicably amused by the series of hissing sounds she made, but he didn’t show it. Aurelia

noticed her tone and immediately shut her mouth. She hoped Leslie would let go of her. Instead, he

helped her sit on a bench outside a nearby store.

“Wait here.”

“Where are you going?”

As soon as Aurelia finished speaking, Leslie entered the neighboring store.

Confused, she looked up at the store’s sign and immediately understood what Leslie wanted to do.

It was a pharmacy.

Aurelia felt an inexplicable warmth in her chest as she looked at the store.

It had been a long time since someone else had taken care of her, not since her mother had been

hospitalized.

Ten minutes later, Leslie returned with a bag in his hand.

Aurelia immediately stretched out her hand and said, “I can do it myself.”

This wasn’t a drama. No one would have a pair of flawless and attractive feet at all times of the day.

In reality, people who had spent an entire day in high heels would be aware that even if their feet didn’t

stink, they’d still be sweaty, and there would be red imprints from being stuffed into such shoes for so

many hours. It could end up looking as ugly as it sounded.

Aurelia, despite not being pretentious, still valued her dignity. She felt embarrassed to expose her feet

that were undeniably in such a state to Leslie.

However, Leslie didn’t give her the bag. Instead, he pulled over a plastic stool that was outside the

store and sat down calmly.

While unpacking the medicine, he said, “Give me your foot.”

Aurelia hesitated.

Leslie paused and said, “Do you need me to send you an invitation?”

Aurelia quickly shook her head, curling her toes and lifting her foot.

Leslie pointed to his knee. “Put it here. How else will I be able to apply the ointment?” Aurelia was
