Chapter 56 

Let’s go.” 

Okayouch!” 

Aurelia lowered her head to inspect her foot and was surprised to find a scrape on her ankle. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t deep

She gritted her teeth, put on her shoes, and limped alongside Leslie

As she stood on the escalator, someone bumped into her. When she exerted force on her foot 

to regain her balance, a sharp pain shot through her ankle, making her sway for a moment

Leslie helped to steady her

Stand closer,Leslie said gruffly

Alright, thank you.” 

Aurelia took a small step closer to him, but it was so small that it seemed as if she hadn’t moved at all

Leslie glanced at her. Without hesitation, he pulled her into his embrace

She stiffened, and she quickly lowered her head

He couldn’t see her expression clearly, but he could clearly see the tips of her ears turning red

She was surprisingly shy

Aurelia always gave him a contradictory feeling. Which side of her was the real one

The atmosphere felt awkward, so Aurelia randomly brought up a topic

Mr. Synder, why did you take the train today?” 

A colleague borrowed my car. It’ll only be returned tomorrow morning.” 

Actually, it was one of his subordinates who had needed a car so that he could take his parents back to their hometown, but he didn’t dare to use Leslie’s luxury cars for fear of attracting 

attention

Aurelia nodded and did not pursue the topic further

After exiting the subway station, Aurelia slightly increased the distance between the two of 

them

To her surprise, she found that Leslie seemed to have no intention of doing the same. He even accommodated her with smaller steps

She glanced at Leslie cautiously. His face was as handsome as ever, but it lacked its usual cold. demeanor

Watch your step.” 

Leslie suddenly lowered his head to meet her eyes

Surprised, Aurelia quickened her pace, forgetting about her injured foot

Ouch, ouchAurelia hissed in pain

Leslie was inexplicably amused by the series of hissing sounds she made, but he didn’t show it. Aurelia noticed her tone and immediately shut her mouth. She hoped Leslie would let go of her. Instead, he helped her sit on a bench outside a nearby store

Wait here.” 

Where are you going?” 

As soon as Aurelia finished speaking, Leslie entered the neighboring store

Confused, she looked up at the store’s sign and immediately understood what Leslie wanted to do

It was a pharmacy

Aurelia felt an inexplicable warmth in her chest as she looked at the store
