Chapter 25 Do Not Take Our Relationship Too Seriously
“We have already broken up a long time ago, Curtis. Stop calling me your wife. Seeing you now makes me feel sick. You’ve made me physically repulse
As she gazed upon his face, a tumultuous sensation stirred within every organ of her body. Waves of uncontrollable spasms surged through her stomach
Aurelia’s face turned even paler.
Curtis‘ handsome face was filled with shock. “Do you even know what you’re saying?”
She’s changed. Her anger is real.
Aurelia pursed her lips, and in the end, she said through gritted teeth, “Get lost!”
“Aurelia, you know I’ve never been one to casually mention breaking up. Now you keep bringing it up over and over again. Aren’t you afraid that we migh
“It would be best if you never appear before me again, Aurelia said with a heavy tone.
Once upon a time, the boy who was as bright as the sun had turned into a deceptive scoundrel today. All her youth had been wasted on him.
She would wait until his mother had to be admitted to the hospital again when a large sum of money would be needed. She wanted to see what he would
Curtis took a deep breath, pointing at Aurelia. “Don’t you regret this!”
Having said that, he turned around in a huff and stormed off with long strides.
As Aurelia watched Curtis disappear into the distance, the suffocating feeling in her heart gradually subsided.
This scene unfolded before Matthew’s eyes. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Matthew stood in the lounge on the first floor of the hotel, observing the emotional entanglement between Aurelia and Curtis through the bright floor– to–ceiling windows.
His gaze gradually turned as cold as ice.
He sent a message to Aurelia: You don’t have to wait for me.
“You’re Mr. Quigley, right? What just happened was merely a misunderstanding. I’ve already forgiven that somewhat scatterbrained young lady.”
When Melanie stepped out of the elevator, her gaze was immediately drawn to Matthew. He was simply too eye–catching.
Not wanting to miss the rare opportunity, she hurriedly ran in her high heels to catch up with

Matthew.

When Luna saw Melanie seeking Matthew, she didn’t stop her. It was rare for her daughter to take a liking to someone, and this person happened to be someone their Leedon family wanted to befriend. If he could become her son–in–law, it would be even better.
Matthew turned around, his gaze as cold as ice sweeping over Melanie.
Melanie was taken aback. “M–Mr. Quigley…”
With an expressionless face, Matthew walked straight past Melanie.
Melanie’s face turned deathly pale. He ignored me!
Back in her university days, she had been the campus belle, pursued by many. No one had ever dared to blatantly ignore her.
Luna hurried over. “Mel.”

“Mom, does Mr. Quigley not like me? I tried talking to him, but he completely ignored me.” Melanie’s eyes reddened. She had always been proud, never
“Perhaps Mr. Quigley is too busy to talk to you. I noticed that he didn’t look well. Maybe something is bothering him. Don’t overthink it. Your father mentio
In the comfort provided by Luna, Melanie regained her confidence.
An hour later, Melanie found the opportunity to call Curtis.
“Have you seen Aurelia? Did you manage to teach her a lesson for me? My face still hurts from the slap she gave me. I don’t know what got into her toda
Curtis was driving. “She wants to break up with me.”
“Break up? But doesn’t she love you to death?” Melanie felt as if something was out of control. Something must have happened to Aurelia that they didn

Curtis slammed on the brakes abruptly. “We… We just went to a hotel last week. Doesn’t that mean we’re in a relationship?”
“We only slept with each other. We don’t have a future together. My parents will never allow me

She merely reveled in the act of stealing Aurelia’s boyfriend. She would never stoop so low as to marry beneath her status.
Curtis gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling a suffocating discomfort in his chest. “Are you disgusted with me?”
“You know Matthew, right, the CEO of Quigley Group? If you held a status like his, I would have no qualms about being your girlfriend. But don’t take our
If Curtis wasn’t Aurelia’s boyfriend, she wouldn’t have had any interest in him.
After hanging up the phone, Curtis clenched his teeth, reminded of the words Melanie had just said.
He realized he couldn’t afford to lose Aurelia.
Breaking up was absolutely not an option.
Immediately, he made a call to Aurelia.
Just like before, he was rejected again.
For reasons unknown, he began to feel anxious. He sent a message: My love, let’s not break ир. I don’t agree with it. Once you’ve cooled down, let’s tal
Following that, he made another call to his mother.
On the way back to Starry Sea Mansion, Aurelia received Curtis‘ call and message, then not even ten minutes had passed when Curtis‘ mother called.
The traffic was heavy on the road, so she answered the call..
“Auri, I know that you and Curtis had a falling out. Did he upset you? I’ve given him a good. scolding, and he knows he was wrong. Could you do me a fa the role of a peacemaker.

“Auri, what on earth is wrong with you? You’ve never been so impolite to me before.” Gina said, somewhat annoyed.
“There is no need to be polite to you. The reason I answered your call is to tell you that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Curtis has truly taken after you, even surpassing you in some ways. You and your son are indeed cut from the same cloth, a nest of vipers through and through. It’s clear you’re family.”
After venting her anger, Aurelia immediately hung up the phone.

Gina stared at the hung– up phone, seething with anger. “If it weren’t for your usefulness, do you think I would let my son be with you? Just wait and see who will regret it after the
Half an hour later, Aurelia returned to Starry Sea Mansion.
Just as she was about to push the door open, she received a call from Chad,
“Aurelia, I know there’s a top team specializing in antique restoration in Jacaster that’s hiring. Do you want to take some time to check it out?”
Aurelia asked, “Are you referring to Old Mr. Gardner’s team?”
“Correct.”
“After a while, once I’ve finished David’s task, I’ll give it a try. Thank you, Chad.”
While ending the call, Aurelia opened the door.
The lights in the mansion were luminous, and Matthew was standing at the staircase, his gaze coolly sweeping over her.
