Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 697

Aurelia widened her eyes in horror. She stared at Neil and felt chills run down her spine.

The man was dressed properly and exuded a noble air, but his gaze was sharp, and he did not look like he had kind intentions.

Neil gripped her wrist and could not help tightening his hold.

The pain caused Aurelia to cry. “Mister, let go please!”

“You haven’t answered my question.”

“What question?” Aurelia blinked. “Oh, where this jacket came from? Hah, well…”

She went closer to him—her innocent smile carried a hint of sensuality, and there was a playful look.

“Let go of me, and I’ll tell you!”

Neil could not help relaxing his grip.

The next second, however, Aurelia shoved him away and ran in the opposite direction like a fleeing bunny.

‘A police officer! He must be a police officer!’

Aurelia’s heart thumped.

Why would he wear such a strange expression if he was not a police officer? It was just a torn jacket. Did he have to ask things like, “did you peel it off a dead man”?

It was a close call. She was almost caught by a police officer in plain clothes!

Aurelia sprinted all the way, only for Neil to catch up to her. She nearly tripped in shock when she turned back.

Neil was not too far away from her, and he was a strong, healthy man. It was no problem for him to catch her.

Actually, Neil did not even know why he was chasing after the girl. It was just that he subconsciously thought there was something wrong with the jacket.

He had endorsed the brand before. Thus, as the brand ambassador in Centrolis, he had attended several press conferences.

Neil narrowed his eyes and fell quiet for a long time.

…

Aurelia was drenched in a cold sweat as she fled back to her basement room. Her hands were shaking as she opened the door.

Not only had she not earned a single cent today, but even a police officer in plain clothes almost caught her! How unlucky!

She entered with a huff. The room was dark, and she stepped on a basin on the floor. Just as she was about to lash out, she realized that the man on her bed was motionless.

“Fredric?” She tried calling for him.

There was no response. She panicked and felt his head with a shaky hand, pulling it back when she felt burning heat.

“How did you get a fever again!?”
