Charlie: What are you up to, Auri?
Finished
Upon seeing Charlie sending a message on WhatsApp, his friend asked with a chuckle, “You really care about your sister, don’t you?”
“Who else would care for my sister if not me?” Charlie stated, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
“Doesn’t your sister have a boyfriend?” His friend asked again. He remembered seeing a picture of his sister on Charlie’s phone before. He was smitten at first sight and asked Charlie to introduce them. However, Charlie mentioned that his sister was already in a relationship.
Upon hearing the term boyfriend‘, a chill flashed in Charlie’s eyes. “That boyfriend of hers was a jerk, they’ve broken up.”
A spark of interest lit up in his friend’s eyes, but before he could utter another word, he heard Charlie deliver a damning verdict.
“You’re not a good match for my sister. You’ve had too many girlfriends and my sister, with her innocent mind, can’t see through you.”
Upon hearing this, his friend realized he had no chance. He then thought about how it seemed he couldn’t genuinely give up a whole forest for just one woman.
“Forget it! What’s going on between you and Spencer? Regardless of anything, he’s the second male lead in this play, and you’re just the fourth. Don’t confront him directly. I’ve heard he’s petty and has targeted you a few times. If you continue to disrespect him, he might make it impossible for you to survive in the industry. Listen to me, give him some respect. Your acting skills can take you far, and in time, you’ll outshine him. For now, just bear with the hardships.”
Charlie wore a cold expression. “I’ll deal with what’s to come in the future. Right now, I simply can’t stand him.”
My friend was at a loss for words. “All right, all right, you do what you think is best. I heard his family’s business has been dealing with some issues lately. He used to flaunt his status as a rich scion, and had plenty of resources within his circle. But he’s in for a tough time ahead.”
Behind the scenes, not many people were fond of Spencer.
He was too arrogant.
After seeing Charlie’s message on WhatsApp, Aurelia didn’t give it much thought and simply replied that she was having a meal.
After sitting down, she noticed that nearly all the dipping sauces and dishes had been served.
“Why didn’t you cat first?”
She lifted her head, only to find Matthew also engrossed in his phone, evidently waiting for her to

join him.
“I was waiting for you,” Matthew casually said, placing his phone aside. He then leisurely started adding meat onto the grill.
Aurelia momentarily lost focus as she observed the man’s slender hand holding the fork.
She recalled how those hands had roamed over her body that fateful night.
Swallowing, she then placed her favorite meat on the grill.
Some people have a way of making even the simple act of eating a meal a visually pleasing experience. Matthew, the man before her eyes, was one such person, he was the epitome of elegance and sophistication.
However, no matter how pleasing to the eye a person might be, it paled into insignificance in front of a food lover.
Aurelia was quickly captivated by the barbecue in front of her, all her attention drawn to it.
The ingredients here were of the utmost freshness, some of which were impossible to find in other barbecue restaurants. Today, she had the chance to thoroughly satisfy her palate.
It was so delicious!
“I remember a friend telling me about this popular chain barbecue restaurant,” Aurelia said, speaking highly of it. “They mentioned it was incredibly expensive, and I always thought the high. price was just for the ambiance. But to my surprise, the taste is absolutely phenomenal!”
Regrettably, this wasn’t the kind of place one could frequent. It felt like every bite was a mouthful of money.
She planned to bring her family for a visit once she had the opportunity.
“You’re welcome to come by often if you enjoy the food,” Matthew said, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Aurelia shook her head decisively. “It’s too expensive, it’s fine to come once in a while.”
“As Mrs. Quigley, you can dine for free at any of the restaurants under the corporation’s umbrella. Feel free to come and eat whenever you wish.”
Upon hearing the term “Mrs. Quigley“, Aurelia’s expression became somewhat unnatural.
The future of her position as Mrs. Quigley was uncertain, she could lose it any day.
Over the past couple of days, she had come to a clear realization. That night, the reason Matthew had lost control with her wasn’t because he was fond of her. It was because both of their rationalities had been consumed by drugs.
She half expected for Matthew to stumble upon a woman who could captivate him at first glance.

When that happens, she would let him go.
Finished
If he never encountered such a person in his lifetime, then maintaining their relationship as it was now, like friends, would be perfectly fine for a lifelong marriage.
After all, getting into bed with someone had nothing to do with love.
“All right then, just brace yourself, I can eat a lot,” Aurelia said, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
Being his wife, she was quite fond of this privilege!
Under the warmth of Aurelia’s smile, the eternally stoic face of Matthew softened, and he too, began to smile. “Your husband, me, is an expert at making money. You won’t eat us poor, so eat without worry.”
“Um, I’m still hungry for pulled pork, Hubby. Could you get me another serving?” Aurelia gave Matthew an incredibly radiant smile as she playfully blinked at him.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not be able to utter the word “hubby“. But the atmosphere was just right, and they were joking around, so she could say it. Moreover, she even deliberately emphasized the word “hubby“.
As Matthew heard the word “hubby” escape her lips, his eyes darkened slightly.
A thought sprung to mind.
In bed, if instead of calling him Mr. Quigley, she had called him “hubby“, then…
“All right.” He responded softly, suppressing a hint of desire.
After sharing a barbecue meal, Aurelia felt that their relationship had thawed a bit, no longer as formal as before.
Their interactions had become more comfortable.
However, Aurelia had a good sense of boundaries, always mindful that there was a metaphorical river between the two of them, one not to be crossed lightly.
As they left the restaurant, Aurelia gave Matthew a beaming smile of gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Quigley, tonight’s dinner was fantastic!”
Upon hearing the term “Mr. Quigley“, Matthew’s brow furrowed. “Why aren’t you calling me ‘hubby‘ anymore?”
Aurelia’s face flushed with embarrassment, she couldn’t bring herself to say it now. “I was only joking earlier.”
“From now on, you can call me ‘hubby, I like hearing it,” Matthew said, gazing deeply into Aurelia’s eyes.

His gaze had a way of giving her the wrong idea. It felt as though he was fond of her.
How could that be possible?
Finished
The term ‘hubby‘ seemed to suddenly scorch her tongue, she evaded his inscrutable gaze. “I’ll go get the car.”
Matthew promptly joined her in the car.
Aurelia looked somewhat surprised. “Aren’t you going to take your own car?”
Every time he got into her compact car, he felt somewhat out of place, as if he were a colossal statue being placed in a small museum.
“The driver just left with it. You can take me home in yours,” he said.
Aurelia found herself at a loss for words.
The scene of the two settling into the car was witnessed by Charlie, who had just stepped out of the restaurant.
Charlie was dumbfounded.
Almost gasping in surprise, he asked, “Who is that man?”
The friend beside him was somewhat baffled by his sudden question. He followed Charlie’s gaze and asked in confusion, “What man?”
Charlie disregarded his friend.
However, Spencer, who was following behind, also witnessed that scene.
The man’s face wasn’t visible, but he did catch sight of Aurelia.
“That guy is your precious little sister’s lover. Turns out, she didn’t find herself a sugar daddy, but rather a freeloader. He doesn’t even have his own car, he rides in hers,” Spencer sneered, not mincing his words.
He had overestimated Aurelia in the past.
Being someone’s mistress wasn’t exactly commendable, but it was better than her keeping a boy toy, right? The man’s silhouette was tall and striking, clearly the result of deliberate training.
