Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

Aurelia’s voice gradually came to him as he snapped back to reality.

Leslie turned and saw her standing behind him.

The wind ruffled her hair and blew away the smoke before him, revealing a faint smile on her face.

“Mr. Synder, your cigarette is burning out.” She pointed at the cigarette between his fingers.

He immediately put out the cigarette while puffing out the last mouthful of smoke.

He couldn’t help but glance one last time across the building.

Aurelia followed his gaze and her smile deepened.

“They sure look happy, right?”

She was once that happy.

A hint of bitterness appeared on her smile as she said, “You will be that happy one day as well, Mr. Synder.”

“Hm?” He turned and shot her a confused look.

Did she know what she was saying? She was his legal wife at this moment.

Noticing his confusion, her eyes widened as she awkwardly said, “I mean you will be happy. Not that I’ll make you happy. Haha…”

She made it sound like she wanted to start a family with him.

“Did you need something from me?”

Seeing how embarrassed she was, Leslie changed the subject.

Relieved, Aurelia replied, “Food’s ready.”

“Alright.” He turned and stepped back into the apartment.

Aurelia took one last glance at the family of three before returning inside as well.

As he approached the dining table, he paused when he saw the steaks on the table.

Not only did Aurelia cook some steaks, but she also took the time to plate them beautifully.

“I’ve only been to steakhouses a few times. I think this is how they were served?” she said.

“Thank you.” Leslie sat down slowly.

“It’s not a big deal. You carried a lot of things for me today. Dig in.”

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy before starting to eat in silence.

During that time, Aurelia would occasionally check her WhatsApp for a message from Millie. Leslie casually asked, “Is/something wrong?”

Aurelia hesitated for a moment.
