Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201

Both Leslie and Aurelia froze.

Aurelia stared at him in surprise when she realized that he was apologizing.

Before she could think much of it, Leslie tugged the bandage and she jolted in pain.

He grabbed her wrist and said, “You want a divorce?”

Afraid to look at him, she said helplessly, “Yeah…Ow…”

Despite the tense situation, she felt like a comedian as she stuttered while looking at her hand.

Leslie tightened his grip expressionlessly. “Are you sure?”

She looked at him.

His eyes seemed to be threatening to break her wrist if she

gave

the

wrong answer.

She titled and shook her head.

“No. No.”

Aurelia was afraid to anger him.

Leslie stared at her flushing ears and felt taken aback by his own actions.

“What am I doing? Haven’t I wanted her to leave all along? Why am I getting upset when she proposes a divorce?” he wondered.

Realizing that he was slightly out of line, he cleared his throat and explained, “My mom won’t agree to this.”

Aurelia stiffened and nodded.

Leslie was a good son, so he would never upset Linda.

What was she expecting?

Spotting the sorrowful look on her face, he continued his apology.

“I mistook the heels for garbage and accidentally threw it away. I’m sorry…I didn’t know they were a gift from your parents. I thought they were from Seth and let my frustration get the best of me on the phone.”

“Huh?”

Aurelia didn’t quite know how to respond.

“Say whatever you want to say,” he said.

She pondered for a bit and asked, “Why does it frustrate you when you thought they were from Seth?”

“That’s not the point.”

Leslie immediately shifted the topic.

He didn’t know why but he found himself growing irritated at the mere mention of Seth’s name.
