Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 41

“Don’t move.” Leslie hesitated for a moment, then he continued, “You’re quite busy, aren’t you? Meeting someone and then returning to make ravioli.” 

“Someone?” After a moment of contemplation, Aurelia questioned, “Did you see me with Seth?” 

“Are you worried that I saw you? Aurelia, have you forgotten? It’s written in our cohabitation agreement that neither of us should stray away during our marriage.” 

“I didn’t stray! It was him…” 

“If you remember our agreement, there’s no need for an explanation. Let me make it clear. I’m not accustomed to being cheated on,” Leslie coldly stated. He then released her wrist and walked out of the kitchen. 

After feeling that her hand was in less pain, Aurelia turned off the tap and followed. 

Leslie was eating ravioli with a cold demeanor that made him seem unapproachable. Aurelia hesitated, then sat across from him, contemplating how she should explain it. 

“Mr. Synder, I…” 

“I’m done eating, thank you,” Leslie politely interrupted and kept Aurelia at a loss for words. It was clear that he didn’t want to continue the previous conversation. 

She could only ask, “Does it taste okay?” 

“It’s a bit salty,” replied Leslie truthfully. 

Glancing at the bowl, Aurelia had her doubts. “Salty? You’ve even finished the broth.” 

“I don’t like wasting food,” he countered. 

“A compliment won’t hurt even if it’s good,” Aurelia muttered. 

Leslie squinted his eyes and asked, “What did you say?” 

“Nothing.” 

He did not probe further and pointed at the bowl. “Leave it. I’ll wash it myself.” 

“Good. At least, he’s willing to do the dishes himself,” pondered Aurelia. 

Aurelia was about to nod when something came to mind. “Hold on, Mr. Synder. Could you help me fix the guest bathroom’s shower? I’ve been cleaning myself using a basin lately. If it’s not repaired soon, I might start smelling musty.” 

Leslie frowned upon hearing it. He had completely forgotten about this issue. Household chores and repairs were usually handled solely by Daniel. 

Aurelia approached him and said, “When I was cleaning earlier, I found a toolbox in the cabinet along with a new shower head. You just need to replace it. You… Can do that, can’t you? 

Although Aurelia was an adopted child, her father, William, had always doted on her and Ava. They would share the household chores. Whenever something broke, William would take care

of it. Hence, she instinctively believed that all men could handle such tasks. 

Noticing the doubt on Aurelia’s face, Leslie asserted, “I can.” 

“Great! I’ll get the items. You can start dismantling it in the bathroom.” Leaving those words, she turned to retrieve the toolbox and the new shower head from the cabinet before heading to the bathroom.
