Chapter 444 Elvis came bearing an armload of gifts.
Jolin had the housekeeper bring in some snacks and fruit.
Aurelia descended the staircase, dressed in a woolen dress, no makeup on her face, and her hair casually draped over her shoulders.
Her beauty was in her natural, unadorned purity, requiring no embellishment from cosmetics.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElvis* gaze momentarily stilled. Like Arnold, he had seen many women and had long developed an immunity to their charms.
Only Aurelia could draw his attention so easily.
Her beauty was not only skin deep, but also in the ethereal quality she exuded.
While physical beauty may fade with age, character remains constant. This was the key to a woman's everlasting allure.
“Mr. Cooper, Merry Christmas.” “Merry Christmas.” Elvis lips parted in a charming smile, “Aren’t we friends? There’s no need for formalities, you can call me Elvis.” Aurelia smiled, still preferring to call him Mr. Cooper.
Jolin donned her apron and cheerfully said, “Elvis, stay for dinner. I'm cooking tonight.” Avery suspected that his mother chose Aurelia’s suitors based on their looks. As long as they were handsome, she was satisfied.
Aurelia selected a mint cupcake from the platter and offered it to Elvis, “Want a cupcake?” Elvis accepted it, taking a bite, “Where did this come from? The mint flavor is strong and sweet, but not cloying. I've never had a mint cupcake this good before.” Aurelia laughed, “My grandmother made it. She sent it from Pebblebrook. She runs a bakery there.” Elvis glanced at Avery sitting across him, “I heard it’s the hottest bakery in Pebblebrook. Many fans travel a long way just to visit.” Avery smirked, “Are you interested in me because of my sister, or because of Leila?” Leila was his co-star in his new and also Elvis’ ex-girlfriend.
Elvis smiled faintly, “Leila is a distant cousin of mine. She’s a fan of yours and joined the industry for you. Her biggest dream is to work with you. | just helped her a little. | hope you don’t mind.” Avery choked, no wonder that girl always stared at him, making him uneasy.
12 10:50 He thought she was angry at him because she knew Elvis was interested in her sister. Turns out she’s just infatuated with him? Aurelia giggled, “I was worried that Leila was Mr. Cooper's girlfriend and couldn't form a screen couple with Avery. Turns out it was a misunderstanding.” Elvis looked at her, a soft light in his eyes, “The men in the Cooper family are all quite commited. Besides my mom, my dad hasn't had any other women.” He knew her biggest taboo and made sure not to cross it.
As he was speaking, the doorbell rang. Aurelia glanced at the door camera, it was the Stirling brothers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer heart gave a jolt. She wasn’t surprised that Arnold was here, but what was Leopold doing here? Did the brothers just happen to meet? Arnold didn’t expect his brother to come because his brother should be the least welcomed person by the Hawthorne family.
Leopold knew he was unwelcome, but he came anyway. He wanted to celebrate the Christmas with Aurelia, even if it was just for a little while.
Kane held his hand. His mission for the day was to break the ice, so his dad wouldn't feel too awkward.
As soon as the door opened, he was the first one to rush in, “Mom, grandpa, grandma, uncle, Merry Christmas!” “Merry Christmas, sweetie!” Aurelia picked up her son, lovingly kissing his cheek.
William also ran downstairs and threw himself into Arnold's arms, “Daddy, you're here, I've been waiting for you.” He had been hiding and peeking from the staircase earlier, not daring to come down.
