Chapter 38
Aurelia was taken aback by the messages. She wondered if Seth was telling others that they were getting married.
“You’ve misunderstood. Seth and I broke up. I felt something was off with him, so I wanted to clarify with you,” she explained.
“No way! Just a few days back, he assured the manager that marriage with you was imminent. He even mentioned obtaining the household registration soon. The manager was already preparing his promotion application upon hearing that!”
So, the reason why Seth had bowed to pressure was to marry her quickly and secure residency. It was quite the scheme..
“Aurelia, did you fight with Seth? Couples fight, you know. He even sacrificed meals and only ate instant noodles recently to save for the 98–thousand–dollar watch he wanted to buy for
you.
“It shows his sincerity. Have a good talk with him so you guys can work it out,” the colleague. advised.
Haha, that watch? It must be the fake one Seth had given out at the Dating Club.
He had blamed Aurelia for that and played the victim in front of everyone. If word got out about their breakup, she would surely face the brunt of the blame.
Yet, Seth now appeared to be the lovesick fool.
Aurelia rubbed her forehead and sighed. She wished that she could knock some sense into herself.
Throughout their relationship, she was consistently fooled by Seth’s elaborate displays of affection. Now that they had split, she realized the depth of her naivety. His feeble attempts at manipulation had clouded her judgment for three whole years!
Indeed, falling in love did seem to diminish one’s intelligence.
After contemplating for a moment, Aurelia decided to take a stand. She would not allow Seth to use public opinion to silence her anymore. Swiftly, she typed a response and hit send.
“The watch? I never received it. We broke up long ago, and I’m now married.
“He strangely brought up reconciliation, which is why I reached out to you. As his friend, please advise him not to get carried away.”
Aurelia tried to maintain her composure.
“Oh?I… Haha.” He seemed lost for words.
Their conversation ended. As expected, tomorrow’s headlines would likely revolve around Seth’s attempt to leverage his ex–girlfriend for a promotion.
Didn’t Seth and Rosa enjoy manipulating public opinion? It was time they experienced being the subject of
It was already 8:30 pm. If it were not for Seth’s interference, she would have finished shopping earlier.
She sighed in frustration and pushed the cart into the supermarket. Fresh produce was scarce at this hour. Hence, she could only pick the best items available.
