Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 737

The next day, Neil nearly dropped his jaw in shock when he saw Aurelia at the door.

"Mr. Harris." The Chaiseland butler bowed gentlemanly. "Mr. Hamerton's instructed that Ms. Aurelia will stay here under your care from now on!"

It took a moment for Neil to process it.

This morning before he woke up, he received a call from Cordelia and groggily listened to her speak—something about it was no longer safe for Aurelia to stay with her, and they had something big to do and that they needed to protect Aurelia…

He had thought that he was dreaming. That was why he agreed in passing when Cordelia mentioned sending Aurelia to him.

It was unexpected that…

"Hey, wait!" Neil did not manage to hold the butler but almost ran into Aurelia instead.

Aurelia stood there timidly with her luggage, and Neil looked at her. Although he frowned with impatience, his hands moved on their own accord to take her bag from her.

He asked for another room soon.

"Key card." He glanced at her. "You stay in this room."

Aurelia nodded obediently.

"There'll be people cleaning it every day, and there's a buffet restaurant downstairs. You can eat whatever you want as long as you show your room card to the staff."

"Mm."

"Let me know if you need anything." Neil coughed after he said that and emphasized, "I mean… the room's checked under my name. You have no identity, technically. What if the receptionist wants to check your ID when they send whatever you ask for when you call them? So, you might as well tell me, and I'll get the front desk to send it. Easier this way!"

"Oh, okay." Aurelia nodded seriously and said hesitantly, "Uncle… I-I want that, can I?"

"What?" Neil furrowed his brows.

"It's…" The young girl blushed and was almost inaudible. "It's…"

She mentioned a brand.

It took Neil a moment before realization struck him, and he felt awkward as well.

It was a cheap sanitary pad brand. There was nothing good about it other than the low price, and it was said that there had been disputes about its quality.

He looked at the girl. She stood there like a little bunny with her head lowered and eyes looking around, just too scared to look at him.

For some reason, he was uncomfortable about it.

"Mm, I… I'll get them to send it to you in a while," Neil answered in a mumble.

Aurelia jolted and smiled in relief. The man's expression was frosty, but he probably did not hate her as much.

"Thank you, uncle!" Her voice was crisp as she began to talk again, "Heh… my period isn't usually this time, actually! I don't know why it came a few days earlier this time! And I only realized it after leaving the house this morning, and I don't have it in my bag, and I'm too embarrassed to go back for it… so I can only trouble you!"

“…”

"Right, you can differentiate day and night use, right?"

“…"

"Uncle, I want to take a shower and change out of my pants…"

"Okay, okay!" Neil stopped her. "Enough. I'll go out now!"

…

A few days of staying there later, Aurelia shed her pitiful look in the beginning and frequently annoyed Neil to the brink of a volcanic explosion.
