Chapter 201
Both Leslie and Aurelia froze.
Aurelia stared at him in surprise when she realized that he was apologizing.
Before she could think much of it, Leslie tugged the bandage and she jolted in pain.
He grabbed her wrist and said, “You want a divorce?”
Afraid to look at him, she said helplessly, “Yeah…Ow…”
Despite the tense situation, she felt like a comedian as she stuttered while looking at her hand.
Leslie tightened his grip expressionlessly. “Are you sure?”
She looked at him.
His eyes seemed to be threatening to break her wrist if she
gave
the
wrong answer.
She titled and shook her head.
“No. No.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAurelia was afraid to anger him.
Leslie stared at her flushing ears and felt taken aback by his own actions.
“What am I doing? Haven’t I wanted her to leave all along? Why am I getting upset when she proposes a divorce?” he wondered.
Realizing that he was slightly out of line, he cleared his throat and explained, “My mom won’t agree to this.”
Aurelia stiffened and nodded.
Leslie was a good son, so he would never upset Linda.
What was she expecting?
Spotting the sorrowful look on her face, he continued his apology.
“I mistook the heels for garbage and accidentally threw it away. I’m sorry…I didn’t know they were a gift from your parents. I thought they were from Seth and let my frustration get the best ofon the phone.”
“Huh?”
Aurelia didn’t quite know how to respond.
“Say whatever you want to say,” he said.
She pondered for a bit and asked, “Why does it frustrate you when you thought they were from Seth?”

“That’s not the point.”
Leslie immediately shifted the topic.
He didn’t know why but he found himself growing irritated at the mere mention of Seth’s name.
“What is the point, then?” Aurelia was puzzled.
“The point is…what do you need fromas compensation?”
Leslie frowned as he stumbled on his words.
“There’s no need for compensation. You’ve already apologized and also helpedfind my heels.”
“Then consider it a debt. Letknow when you figure out what you want.”
Leslie was well aware that he had spoken out of line.
Even if he did make it up to her, it still wouldn’t hide the fact that he had spoken hurtful words.
Aurelia hesitated, not expecting Leslie to be so insistent.
Most men would just apologize and get it over.
When women brought it up again, they would be accused of holding grudges.
Even Seth, who had been with her for three years, was like that.
Hence, she expected the sfrom the usually aloof Leslie.
Unexpectedly, Leslie was direct in his apology and even offered to make amends.

“What is it?” Leslie asked.
Aurelia pointed to the wrist he was gripping tightly.
“Can you release my wrist? It hurts a bit.”
Leslie paused and immediately released Aurelia’s hand.
He then stood up and feigned nonchalance.
“I’m going back to my room. Don’t wash the dishes today to avoid getting the wounds wet.”
Hearing the mention of wounds, Aurelia looked at Leslie’s wound.
It seemed he hadn’t applied any medicine yet.
She quickly stood up and reached out to stop Leslie.
“Mr. Synder, you …”
This caused Leslie, who had injured his leg while searching, to lose his balance.
He accidentally pulled Aurelia along, who instinctively moved backward.
But she bumped into the table and had nowhere else to back up.
Fortunately, Leslie quickly supported her in time.
Unavoidably, they collided.
It was such a heavy collision that the sound of their teeth clashing could be heard, resonating painfully in their mouths and foreheads.
Registering the warm touch on their lips, they looked at each other in surprise.
They remained silent for a full ten seconds before Aurelia pushed herself away from Leslie.
There was an unknown romantic tension between them despite the distance.
