Me And My Billionaire Husband (Aurora and Heath) novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213

As dawn barely broke, Aurora awoke again. Without packing anything and merely grabbing her documents, she headed straight for the airport. After briefly informing Jay of her situation and instructing her assistant to take care of Cheryl and others during her impromptu trip to the United States, she boarded the plane.

Only when the plane touched down in Los Angeles did Aurora fully grasp the impulsiveness of her decision. She had really flown all the way to the U.S.

By ten in the evening, after leaving the airport, Aurora hailed a taxi to Heath’s hotel. Moving quickly through the lobby and up the elevator, she stood at his door and rang the bell. A minute later, the door opened.

There stood Heath, wrapped in a robe, his hair disheveled and face a portrait of sleepy confusion, lacking his usual aloofness and seriousness, replaced instead with an endearing vulnerability.

Heath gazed at the girl at his door, dressed in a simple white T–shirt and shorts, wearing sneakers, her hair tied in a ponytail, her face bare except for some dark circles under her eyes. She looked almost unreal, like a dream, the very person he had longed to see, smiling at him.

Aurora chuckled, “If you’re not welcoming me, I’ll just leave.”

Heath swiftly pulled Aurora into the hotel room and shut the door with a ‘bang‘.

He dragged her straight to the bedroom. As Aurora babbled, “Hey, what time do you think it is? Are you-”

Her words were cut off by his warm lips, his familiar crisp scent enveloping her. Aurora’s knees weakened, and she fell back onto the bed.

Heath’s kiss seemed to melt days of longing into a passionate, intoxicating embrace.

Forced to close her eyes, Aurora’s mind cleared of all unease, worry, and tension, lulling her into a peaceful drowsiness.

Only when Heath’s heavy breathing filled her ears did Aurora open her eyes to find him burying his face in her neck, taking deep breaths, then rolling onto the bed.

He pulled Aurora into his arms, wrapping her tightly, and lay still.

“What’s up?” Aurora asked, her head resting against his chest.

“Sleeping, not fully awake,” Heath’s husky voice replied.

Aurora sighed, ‘What time is it now…”

Heath tightened his grip, “Let’s sleep a bit more, I’m tired.”

His dark circles were evident, resembling someone who had pulled an all–nighter. Aurora, feeling helpless, turned over, her back against

Heath’s chest, and closed her eyes.

After a restless night and an early morning airport run, not to mention the lengthy flight where she couldn’t rest properly, Aurora finally felt at ease with Heath’s familiar scent. She quickly drifted off to sleep.

When Aurora woke up next, it was already eight in the morning. Hunger had roused her; she hadn’t eaten much on the flight and had gone straight to sleep upon arriving at the hotel.

Turning over, she found the bed empty. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up. The room was still dark, curtains drawn. As she was about to fully open her eyes, the bedroom door opened, and Heath’s tall figure approached, pecking her on the lips, “Awake?”

Aurora pushed Heath’s magnified handsome face away, yawning, and nodded, “Barely awake. I’m hungry.”

“Me too,” Heath responded.

Just as Aurora sat up, she was pushed back down onto the bed, her lips tingling from his kiss. She pushed Heath away helplessly, “I’m really hungry and sleepy.”

His low chuckle filled the room, “You’re such a sleepyhead.”

Heath made a call to order breakfast to their room. By the time Aurora emerged fresh from her morning routine, Heath was already waiting for her at the dining table.

Aurora joined him without hesitation, having grown accustomed to these shared meals. The hotel had thoughtfully prepared the breakfast.

*Full? Heath raised an eyebrow at her.

She nodded, “Yes, quite.”

“Now it’s my turn,” Heath said, standing up and approaching Aurora.

“What… Hey!” Aurora, taken aback, found herself swiftly carried back to the bed, where Heath showered her with kisses.

Finally having enough, Aurora kicked him away. Heath didn’t seem offended, instead he gently rubbed his knee, then pulled her into his embrace, teasingly asking, “Planning to murder your fiance?”

Aurora glared at him. “Have you no shame?”

Heath, unabashed, replied, “None at all.”

Aurora was speechless. Defeated, she changed the topic. “What brings you here?”

Suddenly blushing, Aurora struggled with her response. Should she admit she was worried about him? That she missed him? Both seemed too forward, so she remained silent, her face turning as red as her ears.

Heath leaned in, kissing her earlobe gently, a spot she found incredibly sensitive. “Rory, I’ve missed you,” he whispered affectionately.

This time, there were no kisses, just a quiet embrace, as if they had both found their true home.

Two minutes into their embrace, the doorbell rang. Aurora, slightly embarrassed, nudged Heath, “Someone’s at the door.”

Heath, frowning slightly, went to answer it. Kieran stepped in, “Boss, about the branch office… Miss Aurora?”

Kieran was visibly shocked to see Aurora there. “Hello!” Aurora greeted with a bright smile. “Good morning, have you had breakfast?”

Kieran, stuttering, nodded, “Y–yes, I have.”

“You have work, right? I’ll go out for a bit,” Aurora said, returning to her room to change before leaving.

Heath called after her, “Be careful, and come back soon.”

Aurora nodded and left the hotel. Nearby was a shopping mall, and she wandered in, intending to buy Heath a gift. It was only then she realized she had neither her wallet nor phone.

Her phone had been broken during the birthday party, and she hadn’t replaced it before flying to the U.S. Remembering this, she decided to return to the hotel for her wallet.

As she turned to leave, she spotted two familiar figures: Dominic Ashcroft, tall and handsome, and Isabella Whitmore, elegant and noble. Not wanting to encounter them, Aurora quickly walked away.

Isabella was saying to Dominic, “Dad just called, inviting you for a meal. Since you’re here to pick me up, let’s go together?”

Dominic, visibly irritated, replied, “Isabella, next time have your driver bring your wallet. I’m busy.”

Isabella’s smile faltered but quickly returned. “Dominic, you know I just wanted to spend more time with you. I…”

Her declaration of love was cut short when Dominic suddenly stopped, fixated on a girl ahead. She was dressed simply, in a white T–shirt and shorts, her hair in a high ponytail. She could have been any girl on the street, yet to Dominic, she resembled Olivia too closely.

Even though Olivia usually dressed in sophisticated, tight–fitting black attire, Dominic couldn’t shake the feeling of similarity.

He called out involuntarily, “Olivia!”

Isabella, hearing this, turned pale and looked ahead, but all she saw was a young girl with a ponytail. Where was Olivia?

Aurora, hearing her name, didn’t pause but quickened her pace, leaving the mall. Dominic immediately followed, Isabella unable to hold him back.
