Chapter 97

Leslie didn’t like crowded places and just wanted to buy their things and leave. So he pretended not to

notice Aurelia’s gaze and turned to walk away.

A pair of eyes stared at him intently. He sighed lightly. What a hassle.

“Go queue up,” he said.

“Alright.”

When Aurelia smiled, her eyes sparkled like grapes soaked in water, rippling with waves. She joined

the line and quickly came back with two paper trays.

“Mr. Synder, here you go.”

“Hmm.” Leslie took the paper tray.

Aurelia couldn’t wait and put the sausage in her mouth. However, she underestimated the temperature,

and it burned her tongue.

She looked at Leslie, who was about to eat, and quickly grabbed his hand. She tilted her head slightly

and tried to say something, “Tongue burnt…”

She struggled to say the words correctly and began panting continuously.

Leslie frowned and took a step closer. “Open your mouth.”

“Huh?” Aurelia pursed her lips.

“Let me see if it’s a severe burn.”

“Okay.” Aurelia nodded, opened and closed her mouth, and said, “Ah“.

She had a large cavity in one of her teeth, and she didn’t want Leslie to see it.

Leslie said nothing. He paid no attention and simply lifted her face closer to him. “Open your mouth.”

Aurelia stared wide–eyed at the man so close to her, feeling a little overwhelmed. She could only open

her mouth.

“Ah…”

Leslie glanced for a moment. Her upper palate and tongue seemed a bit red. There shouldn’t be

anything serious. He just said, “It’s not a big deal. Eat less sugar from now on.”

Aurelia was dumbfounded.

She immediately closed her mouth tightly. He had discovered her large cavity!

She just hadn’t had the time to visit the dentist. But the thought of Leslie seeing it made her a bit

embarrassed. She could feel his body heat quite distinctly, especially with Leslie so close to her now.

Just thinking about it made her face even hotter.

At this moment, Leslie’s hand was still on Aurelia’s cheek, and he could feel the temperature change

on her face most directly. He couldn’t help but pause. Just as he let go of her, a familiar

voice came from behind.

“Leslie? Aurelia?”

They turned to look, and Linda and her friend were approaching. Linda looked at the two of them and

couldn’t stop smiling, quickly introducing them to her friend.

“My son, my daughter–in–law.”

Linda’s friends looked at Leslie with surprise in their eyes and then glanced at Aurelia. They forced a

dry smile, but their smiles didn’t quite reach their eyes.

“Oh my! Your son is so handsome! Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”

Why didn’t Linda tell them earlier?

Because she thought they might not be a suitable match for Leslie.

“They are so affectionate; it’s making me blush. But, young lady, you should be more composed.

What’s with all the hugging and cuddling in public? People might get the wrong idea,” one of Linda’s

friends commented, implying that Aurelia should be more modest. “Dear, don’t be offended by our

frankness. We’re just looking out for you. If we acted like that back in our time, we’d be criticized left

and right. We’re trying to teach you how to conduct yourself,” another friend added.

Yes, they were nitpicking her in every way.

Aurelia felt increasingly uncomfortable as she listened. She had a feeling that they were suggesting

she was behaving improperly.

However, she couldn’t easily avoid or refute them, especially since these people were Linda’s friends.

She didn’t want to make things difficult for Linda.

Just as the criticism continued, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the critical gazes of

the older women.

“Is there something you want?” Leslie asked coldly.

Startled by Leslie’s imposing presence, the women fell silent, their noses twitching as they avoided

further confrontation.

Linda clicked her tongue disapprovingly and glanced at her friends. “What’s wrong with my daughter–

in–law hugging her husband? It’s the modern era. I didn’t expect your thinking to be so old–fashioned.

Don’t invite me for outings anymore in the future. I won’t want to fall behind too.”

Hearing this, the women’s expressions turned sour, and they hurriedly chuckled to defuse the situation.

“We were just joking,
