Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 

Aurelia felt weird when she thought about her husband leaving to take care of another woman on her birthday. 

However, she was in no position to interfere with his decision. She sighed inwardly. 

She could just make her own meal and indulge in the cake alone later. 

Just then, Leslie said, “I’m not a doctor. Just call an ambulance.” 

The woman’s breath hitched, and Aurelia fell silent. 

As expected of Leslie. He had no mercy even toward women. 

But somehow, Aurelia was somewhat pleased. 

So, it was that simple for a man to turn down a woman after all. 

In the past, Seth had a new female colleague who fawned over him. For a long time, Seth would keep bringing her up whenever he was with Aurelia, but she would only remind him not to cause misunderstandings at the time. 

However, Seth would just say that Aurelia was jealous. He claimed that he wasn’t helping his colleague just because she was a woman. 

In the end, this colleague stole a big client from Seth, and Seth stopped talking about her after that. Hence, Aurelia didn’t think much of it. 

Thinking back on it, she assumed that it was Seth who had no sense of boundaries, which was why he ended up getting taken advantage of. 

If he acted like Leslie, how could his colleague take advantage of him? 

Just then, Aurelia noticed from the corner of her eyes that the pot was boiling and the water was almost overflowing. 

Panicking, she said, “Mr. Synder, the water is boiling.” 

She reached out to take the lid of the pot, but Leslie slapped her hand away. “Do you want your hands to get burried?” 

“Ouch… Be gentle. My hand isn’t hurt from the heat, but it hurts now from your slap.” Aurelia pulled her hand back and blew on it. 

“Don’t exaggerate.” Leslie took off the lid of the pot. He held a plate of vegetables in one hand and the.. pasta in the other. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked, “Which one should I put in first?” 

Aurelia chuckled. “How about I do it?” 

“I can do it.”

“Let’s put in the pasta first. We can sauté the vegetables and add the sauce later.” 

“What sauce?” Leslie frowned. 

“That’s…” 

Before Aurelia could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a cough on the other end of the phone. 

Aurelia realized that the call was still connected. She quickly raised the phone and brought it close to 

Leslie’s car. 

Leslie’s voice was calm as he said, “Speak.” 

The woman weakly said, “Am I disturbing you? Sorry-” 

Her words were interrupted by her coughing. It sounded like she was about to cough her lungs out. 

Aurelia squeezed the phone tightly and looked down at the bubbling pot. 

Most men couldn’t stand seeing a damsel in distress. Even if Leslie had a heart of stone, he should be moved by this woman who was in such a frail state. 

“I’m a little busy. You should call an ambulance as soon as possible and get that treated,” he said. 

Aurelia stared at Leslie in shock. 

Was he really a stone–hearted monster? No, a stone–hearted monster wouldn’t buy her a cake and 

cook for her. 

Leslie put the pasta into the boiling water. Then, with his free hand, he took the phone and hung up 

the call. 

She worriedly asked, “Will she be okay?” 

Leslie said, “Have you watched too many TV dramas? When a woman is sick, why would she look for a man? When one is seriously ill, their first reaction would be to look for a doctor. 

“What’s the use of her looking for me? So that I can find her a doctor? Or is she waiting for me to save her? Don’t you think it’s faster for her to just call an ambulance?” 

“Uh… That’s true.” 

But even so, that woman probably wanted to attract Leslie’s attention, right? 

Yet, Leslie… 

“I’m married and have no obligation to take care of other women,” Leslie stated bluntly. 

“Oh.” Aurelia nervously rubbed her neck. 

He had seen through her yet again. 

She quickly changed the topic and said, “Hey, the pasta is becoming too soft.”

Under Aurelia’s guidance, Leslie finally managed to make pasta in a flurry of activity. 

Finally, Aurelia sat at the table and lit a candle which was in the same flower shape as the ones she had when she was a child. After making a wish, she and Leslie ate the pasta. 

Everything was great, except for the pasta, which was a bit lumpy and unpalatable. 

After finishing the food and cleaning up, Aurelia and Leslie sat on the couch to rest. 

When she turned on her phone, she saw that the internet was flooded with news about One 

Technology’s opening ceremony and new product launch, gaining widespread acclaim. 

There had been many doubts about One Technology before, but public opinion about the company had taken a positive turn since the new product was launched. 

The comments section even had posts from people who weren’t particularly tech–savvy. 

“Synder Corporation has talked about launching a new product for a while now, but they kept delaying it time and again. Now, even a new company can outshine them. These years have indeed. been wasted.” 

“Synder Corporation hasn’t been doing well in recent years. The new products are always the same old stuff. I have more confidence in One Technology.” 

“I thought that Leon Synder’s return would bring some new changes. I heard that his face turned green when he saw the new product at One Technology’s opening ceremony.” 

Recalling Leon’s expression during the ceremony, Aurelia felt the urge to laugh.

She glanced at Leslie, but her attention was instantly drawn away by a burst of music playing in the background. 

“Mr. Synder, do you hear anything?” 

“It’s coming from the table,” he said.
