Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

When women walked past them, they all looked at Aurelia with a hint of disdain, as if she was not worthy of standing beside Leslie.

Indeed, she was wearing a coffee-stained outfit, barefoot, and looked rather disheveled.

In fact her disheveledness made Leslie look even more distinguished.

They looked rather peculiar together.

Aurelia lowered her head and quickly pulled her hand away. “I can walk by myself.”

Leslie silently looked at her bare feet. “Am I walking too fast?”

“No, I… Ah!” Aurelia exclaimed as Leslie suddenly lifted her up.

She had no time to refuse and hurriedly reached to secure her dress, fearing it might reveal too much.

Surprisingly, her hand came into contact with Leslie’s arm instead.

He was using his arm to support her legs and simultaneously press down her skirt without directly touching her body.

Leslie said, “Don’t mind others. You’re not living for them.”

Aurelia was shocked that he saw through her thoughts.

Why was he still carrying her, then? Didn’t he find it embarrassing?

Aurelia snuck a glance at Leslie.

There wasn’t a single flaw on his face, and even the sunlight appeared less dazzling in comparison.

Suddenly, she felt her body burning, and her breathing was all over the place.

“We’re here. Stop looking around.” Leslie’s deep voice slowly made its way to Aurelia’s ears.

Aurelia raised her head abruptly and found people staring at them.

There were various gazes, a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Embarrassed, she grabbed Leslie’s collar and covered herself.

“Quick, put me down.”

Leslie lowered his gaze.

Compared to her usual domineering appearance, she looked rather interesting when she was shy.

Still, he didn’t intend to tease her for it. He turned around and placed Aurelia on a bench near the mall entrance.

He walked over to a shelf and grabbed a beige dress, before shoving it into her hands.

“Wear this.”

“The waistline is too tight for me. I won’t fit into it,” she said.

The staff scanned Aurelia and said, “This gentleman has great eyes. I wanted to recommend this to you earlier. You look slim, so why would you think that?”

“You just don’t think I’m fat because I am wearing something loose. I have thick legs and waist,” Aurelia explained.

The staff stared at her in shock, wondering who told Aurelia that.

Leslie frowned as well.

Aurelia returned the dress to the staff and continued to search for her size among dark- colored dresses, intending to just buy a random dress.

“You can fit into it. I just know,” Leslie blurted out.

Aurelia froze and blushed.

What did he mean he knew?

Did he see something when her pajamas got wet the last time?
