Chapter 369
Aurelia was honest. She looked Cassian in the eye and told him, straight and clear, “I once loved you.”
Cassian’s eyes, once lifeless, flickered with a glimmer of hope. “And now…”

But before he could finish, Aurelia cut him off. “It was in the past; I’ve moved on.” Her words dragged Cassian right back int the depths of despair.
She was so calm. She didn’t show a hint of emotion the whole time. At that moment, Cassian was lost; he had no idea what to do.
He realized it a bit too late. No, it was way too late. Back then, when he saw Gideon giving Aurelia flowers, he couldn’t control himself and showed up at her place.
The congratulations he meant to say turned into a snarky remark, all because jealousy got the better of him. But Aurelia tol him she owed him nothing anymore.
The moment he saw her eyes red with emotion, Cassian almost lost it. He almost blurted out what he really wanted to say. Aurelia, I regret everything. I’m letting go of all that revenge. Can we go back to how things used to be?‘
But it’s all too late now. When she said she’s moved on, it means she no longer loves me,‘ he thought to himself.
Aurelia was about to leave again. At that moment, an overwhelming feeling hit Cassian. ‘If I let her go this time, we’ll truly become two parallel lines and never cross paths again,‘ he thought.
‘Aurelia. Once again, he called after her, his voice filled with eagerness. A flicker of impatience slid across Aurelia’s brows as she frowned at him.A flicker of impatience slid across Aurelia’s brows as she frowned at him.
Then… Do you love him?” Cassian asked; he was referring to Darren.
Aurelia pressed her lips together, her gaze shifting away. “Yes,” she said.
‘No, look me in the eye and answer me,” Cassian said, his voice trembling. Right now, Cassian felt like he was hanging onto his last lifeline, hopelessly desperate.
“Is the answer really that important?” Aurelia asked, her brows knitting together.
Cassian’s jaw tightened, his face tense. “Yes, it’s very important!”
“Well, I don’t think so, Aurelia shot back, ineeting his eyes again. “Moreover, I’m not obligated to tell you about what goes on between my fiancé and me. You also have no right to know”
“I hope you can show some dignity and respect for our boundaries, Mr. Locke. Stay out of our business,” she added
“And besides, if I don’t love him, will I be engaged with him? Aurelia continued, her voice steady.
Even after Aurelia left for a long while, Cassian just stood there, frozen in place. As the night wore on the wind grew colder His thin jacket was no match for the cold. But he still didn’t move, just stayed right where he was
Aurelia had just ruthlessly severed the final lifeline Cassian was desperately clinging to
‘Babe, do you think it’s going to be a boy or a girl?” Mia asked, her voice full of anticipation.

“If it’s a boy, I’ll make sure he learns to be faithful from the very beginning, so he doesn’t turn into some heartbreaker when he grows up.
After all, his dad’s genes aren’t that good, so I’m counting on mine to turn things around,” Mia said, half–joking, half–serious.
“If it’s a girl, I’ll spoil her rotten, give her all the love and money in the world, so no jerk can ever take advantage of her,” she added, her tone full of determination.
“Babe, are you even listening to me?” Mia rambled on for a while, but received no response. She turned around to look at Aurelia and saw she was lost in thought.
“What’s the matter?” Aurelia blinked, finally snapping out of it and looking at Mia.
Mia narrowed her eyes and said, “You’re acting strange.”
“Really?” Aurelia refused to admit.
“Come on, it’s so obvious!” Mia leaned in, staring her down. “Seriously, this is surprising. I didn’t think anyone besides that jerk could make you so distracted.”
When she finished ranting, Mia’s eyes suddenly widened in realization. “Wait, don’t tell me you ran into Cassian?”
Aurelia’s expression turned into one that was hard to describe. Mia couldn’t help but facepalm. “I knew it! Why does he always pop up like some bad penny that won’t go away?”
“Can we talk about something else?” Aurelia said, clearly not wanting to discuss Cassian any further. She was kind of allergic to that subject, more so for Mia.
So Mia leaned in and said, “I’ve got a job in Northvale tomorrow. It was booked ages ago. Why don’t you come with me to get some fresh air?”
“Sure, Aurelia agreed right away. Besides, Mia was under special care these days. The following day, the two of them flew to Northvale.The next day, the two of them flew to Northvale.
The job Mia mentioned was an endorsement shoot she had locked in almost half a year ago.
“Seriously, this brand is the very first endorsement of my acting career, so I take this collaboration very seriously. I rejected all the others, except this one,” Mia said.
“Do you have the script?” Aurelia asked, stepping into her role as Mia’s temporary agent. She wanted to make sure there were no risks involved in the shoot.
Mia’s agent sent the shooting script over to Aurelia. She skimmed through it quickly. When she saw there was a pool scene, she frowned deeply and said, “No way, this script has to be changed!”
Northvale wasn’t like Ashmont, even in autumn, it was already freezing Moreover, Mia was pregnant, so it was clearly out of question.
Maurene looked troubled and said, “But the script’s been set for ages, and the location’s already set up Changing it now might not be a good idea”
Aurelia was about to speak up again, but Mia grabbed her hand and said, “It’s fine, I’ll try to get it done in one or two lakes. won’t be a big deal”
She knew Aurelia was worried about her. Still, Aurelia was concerned. She told Maurene to notify the brand in advance to change the pool water to warm. She would bear the cost herself, so the brand wouldn’t have to pay for it.
