Chapter 182 Aurelia Is Worth It
Finished
Curtis‘ eyes grew even redder. He watched, wide–eyed, as the elevator doors were closing. In that fleeting moment, Matthew had embraced Aurelia.
The intimacy between the two of them was enough to drive him mad with jealousy.
The mere thought of Aurelia being with another man drove him to the brink of madness!
The manager, who was in the elevator with him, was still so scared that his legs were trembling. If it wasn’t for the fact that assaulting someone was illegal, he would have loved nothing more than to beat the lunatic in front of him to death.
Does he have nerves of steel? How dare he provoke Mr. Quigley?
Most importantly, there was a chance it could have implicated him as well!.
The moment the door closed, taking advantage of his height, Matthew pinned Aurelia against the
door.
Without
ut another word, he leaned in for a kiss.
The kiss seemed to carry a taste of punitive release.
Aurelia’s tongue tingled, her entire body going limp.
After what felt like an eternity, just when Aurelia thought she was on the verge of suffocation, Matthew finally released her. However, his slightly labored breathing lingered near her ear, hist voice deep and commanding.
“Do you still carry that filth in your heart?”
Filth?
Aurelia belatedly realized who he was referring to as “filth“.
For a fleeting moment, she had the odd impression that Matthew seemed to be jealous.
But deep down, she chuckled to herself, thinking, “How could that be possible?”
Perhaps the words that Curtis had spoken earlier had made Matthew feel uncomfortable.
“You called him filth too. How could I possibly have feelings for someone like that?” Aurelia replied honestly.
Matthew seemed genuinely pleased with her response.
He lowered his head and tenderly kissed her lips several more times, each kiss gentle and tender.
Aurelia’s face had turned red from the kiss. “How is… Ms. Souza doing now?”
3:42 PM
Chapter 182 Aurelia is Worth It
It seemed as though Matthew was somewhat displeased with Aurelia’s distraction. Without responding to her, he kissed her lips again.
The situation that followed developed somewhat uncontrollably.
Matthew led Aurelia all the way from the front door to the bed.
In the end, restraint was increasingly abandoned, and the situation spiraled out of control, growing more intense…
Finished
Later, while Aurelia was showering, she noticed the bruise on her thigh, a stark reminder of the recent incident.
She bit down on her still throbbing lip.
How could he?
It was evident how she had come to
find herself in this situation… At that moment, she had lost all
sense of control, guided entirely by Matthew. T
Taking a deep breath, her face flushed uncontrollably red.
Matthew entered the bathroom with an ointment in his hand.
Earlier, he couldn’t restrain himself and had been quite rough. He was certain he had hurt her, which prompted him to fetch some ointment
Glancing at Aurelia, he noticed her face was even redder than before, perhaps from exertion. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“How could you leave your mark here? Matthew, you’ve gone too far!” Aurelia protested, her voice tinged with reproach.
Matthew was looking at Aurelia’s slender, fair legs. There was a noticeable hickey on her thigh.
His eyes were deep and intense. He cleared his throat and said, “I’ll be more careful next time.”
Aurelia was really angry. “There won’t be a next time!”
She made up
her mind. Until the hickeys on her thighs and collarbone faded, she wouldn’t let Matthew touch her again!
In a state between dreaming and waking, Matthew was roused by murmurs from a dream.
As he opened his eyes, he heard the woman in his arms talking in her sleep, her words accusing him of his reckless actions.
“Matthew, are you a wolf…”
“You are just like a wolf…”
Matthew was left both amused and exasperated. He pulled Aurelia closer, whispering softly into.

Upon reflection, he indeed had some trouble controlling himself at that time.
Next time…
He would consider being gentler next time.
Meanwhile, Curtis was escorted to the nearby police station by the hotel manager.
The hotel management demanded compensation from Curtis, as his actions were not only implicated in disturbing the guests, but also tarnished the hotel’s reputation.
The lawyer hired by the hotel also came along.
At this moment, Curtis suddenly realized he was drenched in cold sweat,
Now, he was not only facing the risk of detention, but also the prospect of a substantial compensation payout!
Curtis turned deathly pale with fright. He belatedly admitted his mistakes to both the hotel
difference. manager and the police officer, but it was all too late to make any
The hotel management had made up their minds to make Curtis pay the price.
All evidence pointed toward Curtis‘ premeditated intent to pester and harass the guests. His claims of having a girlfriend were nothing more than excuses. The hotel’s lawyer had already clarified the situation with Gordon before he arrived.
Gordon had specifically instructed the lawyer, seizing this opportunity to give Curtis a hard time.
Daring to pester Aurelia, and having the audacity to disrespect Matthew, Curtis inevitably had to face the consequences!
In order to secure his job, the hotel manager didn’t even consider Curtis‘ cries for mercy. He chose to turn a blind eye to the situation.
In the end, Curtis was not only detained for five days, but he was also required to pay two hundred thousand in compensation as demanded by the hotel.
When Aurelia woke up the next day, she became aware of the matter.
She didn’t have any particular thoughts about it. Curtis deserved it.
Seeing Aurelia’s indifferent demeanor, showing no concern for Curtis‘ sentence, Matthew’s thin lips curled up. “Today, I’m taking you out to sea for fishing, and there’s also snorkeling. Are you interested?”
Aurelia immediately nodded. “Yes, indeed!”
The thought of setting sail and fishing filled her with immense anticipation!
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Chapter 182 Aurelia Is Worth It
By noon, the now–stabilized Zoe was moved into a ward.
Gordon and the caregiver, Stella, bustled in and out of the ward to care for her.
Finished
Zoe lay on the hospital bed, her expression somewhat forlorn. She glanced toward the door several times, hoping to catch a glimpse of the one she yearned to see.
Gordon noticed Zoe’s actions, but wisely, he chose to remain silent.
“Gordon, did Matthew mention when he would be coming over today?” Unable to contain her curiosity, Zoe asked Gordon. “Does he have some work to deal with?”
Logically speaking, since Matthew told everyone at the company that he was on a business trip, there shouldn’t have been any work that would take up his entire day, right?
Although she was well aware that Matthew was very busy, she really wanted to see Matthew at the
moment.
Gordon replied, “Mr. Quigley and Ms. Shaw went out to sea today. They probably won’t be back until it gets dark, so Mr. Quigley will likely visit you in the evening. Ms. Souza, you should rest well now. By the time you wake up, you’ll probably see Mr. Quigley.”
“Went out to sea…” Zoe’s expression shifted slightly.
She had been living in Kenfort for several years, and had only ever gone to the sea with classmates. Matthew had never accompanied her on these trips. But now, shockingly, he had taken Aurelia out to sea.
“Before setting sail this morning, Mr. Quigley sent me a message. Ms. Souza, you need not worry. Everything at the hospital has been taken care of. There will absolutely be no issue.” Gordon said, pretending not to notice Zoe’s disappointment.
Zoe’s complexion had the pallor of someone who had recently undergone surgery, and now her lips were also somewhat pale. “Matthew really treats Aurelia well,” she said.
The two of them set out to sea…
How romantic.
That was the romance she greatly envied.
Were the two of them really that close? Did Matthew truly have feelings for Aurelia?
Gordon gave a nod. “Ms. Shaw is worth it.”
He seldom held a woman in high regard, but Aurelia was an exception, she was truly deserving! She had saved his life, possessed significant abilities, and was generally kind to others, all while maintaining a low profile in her dealings. It came as no surprise to him when the boss fell for her.
