Aaron’s face changed. He immediately strode over, pulled Melanie into his embrace, and kissed her.
“I never hated you, Mel. I like you.”
Upon hearing this, Melanic immediately lost herself in the kiss. She knew that if she
put her mind to it, any man would fall for her, let alone Aaron, the one she grew up with and knew best!
On that day, just as Aurelia was about to finish work, she received a call from Xavier.
He mentioned that he had the weekend off and asked her to return home as he had some good
news to announce.
By then, Charlie would have returned home, and Herbert’s college entrance exams would have ended.
The whole family could then gather to celebrate.
After agreeing, Aurelia first went to visit Mabel at the Quigley residence. As soon as she entered. the residence and barely exchanged a few words with Mabel, Evelyn handed her a bowl of stew.
“Mrs. Quigley, this stew is meant to nourish your body. I heard that you’ve donated blood several times before and it took a toll on your body.” Evelyn said to Aurelia with a cheerful grin.
“Just have a little, you won’t be able to finish such a big bowl.” Mabel’s heart swelled with joy the more she looked at Aurelia.
Aurelia was truly impressive.
Look at how little time has passed, yet Matthew has already fallen for her. At this rate, grandchildren wouldn’t be far off.
great-
When it came to women he didn’t fancy, Matthew wouldn’t even touch them, let alone look at them.
Otherwise, over these many years, given the position Matthew was in, the number of women entangled with him would have been no less than a few dozen, if not a hundred. She might have even had more than a dozen great–grandchildren by now.
However, no one could compare to Aurelia.
Aurelia picked it up and took a sip. The taste was mild and quite delicious. There was a subtle hint of herbal fragrance and faint sweetness to it.
It was clear that Evelyn had put her heart into making the stew.
“It’s delicious, thank you, Evelyn,” Aurelia immediately expressed her gratitude. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
This wasn’t just a polite remark, the stew was genuinely delicious. She had initially thought that

this type of stew wouldn’t be particularly tasty. Before her reincarnation, no matter how much blood she’d given, Luna and Gideon never paid much heed. They assumed that due to her youth and good health, she would recover quickly. They had never gone out of their way to prepare for her any nourishing stews meant to nourish her body.
However, Mabel and Evelyn had thought of it.
They genuinely cared for her.
“If you enjoy it, that’s great. I’ll arrange for it to be delivered to the Starry Sea Mansion daily,” said Evelyn, who could tell that Aurelia was genuinely grateful to her.
She genuinely wanted to treat Aurelia well.
When Matthew arrived, what he saw was a scene of pure bliss and harmony.
Upon seeing Matthew, Mabel rolled her eyes in disdain. “What took you so long?”
“I was somewhat busy this afternoon.”
“Hadn’t you arrived at the airport by noon? And then you rushed off to the company again? All you know is work. Spend more time with Aurelia when you’re free.” Mabel huffed in disapproval.
She knew her own grandson all too well.
Aurelia looked toward Matthew.
That morning, she found Matthew awake in her room. She couldn’t quite recall how he had made. the request, as she had just woken up and was still somewhat groggy. Her response was slow, but she had agreed to his request to move into his room.
However, on the day she moved into his room, he had to leave for a business trip. Consequently, they hadn’t seen each other for the past couple of days.
She had initially thought he would return only after a few days, but surprisingly, he came back that day.
Matthew noticed that Aurelia was looking at him.
He also looked over.
“Is the stew to your liking?” he asked.
Aurelia was still holding the bowl in her hand, half–filled with stew. “Yes, it’s tasty,” she commented.
Matthew nodded. “That’s good then.”
Mabel and Evelyn exchanged glances, surprised that Matthew could actually show concern for others on his own initiative.

anything else, Grandma, we’ll be taking our leave.”
Mabel had just taken a sip of water when she heard Matthew’s words and nearly spat it out!
Was he that eager to whisk her away?
Mabel thought about why he was in such a rush, and her ears turned red,
She eventually learned about what happened that day. Someone had drugged Matthew, and unexpectedly, Aurelia was also present. Both of them ended up being drugged and naturally, they ended up together.
The housekeeper who went to clean the Star Sea Villa reported back, saying that the two of them were now living in the same room.
Mabel had been once young too.
She immediately waved her hands, shooing them away. “Off you go, off you go. I’m tired and need some rest. You two should head back to your own little world.”
She, as an old lady, should stop being a third wheel between them.
Aurelia was slightly taken aback. Did Matthew have something to discuss with her?
Why else would he rush back home?
Urged on by Mabel, the two left the Quigley residence.
Sitting in the car, Aurelia asked, “Are we rushing back because there’s something urgent?”
She hadn’t had dinner yet.
Her original plan was to have dinner with Mabel at the Quigley residence that night.
Matthew’s eyes dimmed slightly, he was unsure how to respond. When he saw her at the Quigley residence, his immediate thought was to bring her home.
He fell into a daze after he spoke just now.
“There’s nothing much going on, I’ll take you out for barbecue.” Matthew broke the momentary silence. “Our company owns a barbecue chain restaurant, with seven or eight kinds of dipping sauces to choose from. Let’s see if there’s anything you’d like.”
“That’s fantastic, I’ve indeed been craving barbecue these past few days!” Aurelia exclaimed, her eyes brimming with anticipation.
The thought of seven or eight different types of dipping sauces was such a joy!
Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant.
Although it was just a barbecue restaurant, it was decorated luxuriously.

Truly, it was a product of Quigley Group.
As soon as she entered, a delightful fragrance filled the air.
They entered the private room on the eighth floor.

Aurelia had ordered two types of dipping sauces according to her preference, although she could have chosen up to four.
Then, she saw an array of ingredients that many barbecue restaurants didn’t offer. Her eyes sparkled at the sight, revealing her deep love for barbecuel
“I’ve already ordered, take a look and see what you’d like to eat.”
She was so excited then!
After giving an affirmative response, Matthew earnestly studied the menu.
“I’m going to use the restroom.”
Aurelia got up and went to the restroom.
Matthew glanced at Aurelia, then lowered his gaze back to the menu. He ordered a mildly spicy dipping sauce and a mushroom–flavored dipping sauce. Both were to his taste.
After ordering the dishes, there was a bit of a dull wait for Aurelia to return and for the food to be served.
A few minutes later, after exiting the restroom, Aurelia made her way toward the private room.
Just then, Charlie and his friend stepped out of a separate private room to head to the restroom.
Just as he was about to enter the restroom, he suddenly halted.
“What’s wrong, Charlie?” The guy next to him asked.
Charlie blinked. “I must be seeing things, it couldn’t possibly be Aurelia.”
The girl who had just entered a private room carlier, her silhouette bore a striking resemblance to Aurelia.
Just a moment ago, he had almost called out to her.
But then it struck him, Aurelia probably wouldn’t come here. The cost here was too high. A single. barbecue meal here could easily surpass the cost of ten meals elsewhere.
“Who is Aurelia?” His buddy was utterly confused.
Charlie chuckled lightly. “That’s my sister, I thought the person just now was her.”
He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Aurelia.
