Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 889

While Aurelia was still dazed, the mysterious person behind Alexander showed his true face.

Aurelia's hand flew to her mouth as she nearly shrieked.

"Don't be so surprised…" Alexander was trying to hold back his laugh as well.

How could she not be surprised, though?

When the two of them entered just now, Aurelia had thought that the one following Alexander was a… maid!

She scanned Neil from head to toe with widened eyes.

He was in a short-sleeved blouse and a long narrow skirt—a large-sized long narrow skirt. He was even wearing floral-embroidered flats and had a headscarf.

If one did not look carefully, one would think he was just a maid with a bigger build! This maid with a bigger build had walked in swaying hips just now!

Aurelia's face was growing red. When she saw Neil's glower, she could no longer hold herself back. A loud giggle escaped along with her tears.

"Shh!" Alexander shushed her and asked Neil to wear the headscarf properly. There were still guards and maids at the door, and nothing was secure.

Alexander strolled outside and waved a hand to dismiss those people. "I'm here to visit my aunt. Aurelia alone is enough here. You're dismissed for now."

"Your Highness, but…" The guards were wary.

"Why? Must I be supervised when I visit my aunt?"

The guards quickly shook their heads and were gone in the blink of an eye.

Now that the hall was safe, Neil pulled the headscarf off and breathed in relief. It was only then Aurelia dared to cackle loudly.

"And you're still laughing!" Neil glared at her.

"Uncle…" Aurelia was heaving. "Why this… hahaha! Why are you pretending to be a maid?"

"Because Neil can't enter the palace as he wishes," Alexander explained. "And if the two of us appear at the west palace together, it'll attract the attention of Aunt Carmella's spies. So I came up with this idea for him to act as my servant."

"Why not a guard?"

"A guard is too aggressive and will also attract attention." Alexander chuckled. "Besides, it is easier to dress up as a maid. Just the uniform, and we're set. If he acts as a guard, I have to prepare the weapons for him—too troublesome!"

Neil shot him a death glare.

Alexander cleared his throat and said, "This is the hardest role Mr. Neil Harris, the award-winning actor, has played. Ms. Chilton, seize the chance and chat with him. I'll wait outside!"

He flashed them a smile and left, closing the door behind him.

Aurelia and Neil stared at each other for some time before bursting into laughter together.

Neil went up to pull her into a hug. Aurelia struggled a little and let him hug her when she could not shove him away.

Speaking of which… his hug was comfortable.

She pressed her ear against his chest and listened seriously.

"What are you doing?" Neil's voice was a little husky, his gaze indulging.

Aurelia smiled. "Listening to your heartbeat!"

"What do you mean? Trying to make sure whether the one hugging you is a man or a ghost?"
