Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 

Aurelia could tell that Leslie’s suit was very expensive. What if a drop of blood stained it? 

“Aurelia, how long do you plan on keeping your foot raised like that?” Leslie urged. 

“Hold on.” 

Aurelia quickly opened her bag and took out three tissues. She folded them together before placing them on Leslie’s knee. 

Leslie was surprised by her actions and said, “It’s just a pair of pants.” 

Aurelia lowered her eyes and said casually, “Mr. Synder, it’d be such a waste if those pants were ruined. You look so good in them. I just… don’t want to get them dirty.” 

After saying that, she lowered her head. 

What was she saying? 

After hearing that, Leslie’s finger accidentally grazed Aurelia’s ankle, causing the both of them to fall silent. 

An indescribable atmosphere surrounded them. 

Aurelia discreetly lifted her gaze and observed Leslie calmly tending to her wound. 

She felt relieved. 

Leslie looked at the wound. Although it wasn’t deep, it was quite long, extending from the ankle to the calf. The fair skin looked alluring against the blood drops. 

But there was another matter… with that foot. 

Aurelia sensed Leslie’s gaze and wiggled her toes, attempting to pull her foot back. 

“Don’t look at my…” 

Foot.. 

“The wound is quite long. A regular adhesive bandage won’t cover it completely. I’ll wrap it with gauze to prevent an infection,” Leslie calmly interrupted, continuing to clean Aurelia’s wound with iodine. 

“Thank you.” Aurelia was not only grateful to Leslie for treating her wound, but also for interrupting her and preserving a bit of her dignity. 

Although she had always felt that her capabilities mattered more than her appearance, the fact was that she wasn’t very confident in how she looked, especially after she had to listen to all of 

Seth’s comments. 

“Your waist is too thick. My friend’s girlfriend’s waist is only as wide as one of his palms, but it’s okay. I like you the way you are.” 

“You have freckles on your face. It doesn’t make you look good, but I don’t mind. No matter how bad you look, you’re still my precious darling.” 

“It’d be better if your thighs were a little slimmer. You shouldn’t wear pants anymore in the future since you don’t look good in them. Just wear dresses so that your thighs can be covered.

up.” 

Aurelia recalled Seth’s words, feeling a little self–conscious. 

Seth’s comments had all been said carelessly, but they had affected her a lot back then. 

Since she struggled with doubts about her appearance, she tried to make up for it by improving her skills. But deep down, she still felt a little inferior because of his words. 

Seeing Leslie’s reaction now, she realized that a true man wouldn’t demonstrate his generosity by belittling someone. 

The more Aurelia thought about it, the more nauseous she felt. 

2/2 

Seth was her first love, so she had cherished that relationship. However, she had unexpectedly fallen prey to Seth’s manipulation. 

Looking at Leslie, whose personality differed from his cold appearance, Aurelia’s thoughts took an unexpected turn. 

What if she asked Leslie to accompany her to the company tomorrow? He would probably agree, right? 

She simply wanted to sever ties with Seth as soon as possible. She really didn’t have the energy to deal with him now.
