Female NovelChapter 32
“Aurelia, it seems to me that you’re good at eating spicy food,” Seth giggled.novelbin
The soup was so spicy that it gave Aurelia a sore throat. She couldn’t even speak.
She couldn’t care more about deference and stood up. After grabbing the cashmere scarf from thecouch, she took the fruit and left the Martinez house.
Since Rosa didn’t like it, she took it back to give it to her mother.
She only forgave Seth when he caught up with her and apologized over and over again. She made himpromise to live separately with his parents after they got married.
Seth agreed and promised her at that time. But later on, he started scheming for her house behind herback and wanted her to live together with his parents.
His family had never respected her.
Now, Aurelia was amused by the humble Rosa standing in front of her. She had to say that Seth got hisacting skills from his mother.
She shook off Rosa’s hand and replied coldly, “Mrs. Martinez, Seth and I had broken up. He’s wellaware of the reason for the breakup. I think there’s no need to bring that up here.”
Aurelia didn’t want to go too far and be too straightforward. She gave Rosa a leeway and hoped thatshe could understand it.
But Rosa began to sob more profusely. She took a bank card out of her bag and gave it to
Aurelia.
“There’s 100 thousand dollars in it. I know this money is the reason why you argued with Seth. I soldthe house in my hometown to scratch together the 100 thousand dollars. I only hope to see that youtwo can live well together. We will help as much as we can. Aurelia, please forgive Seth and agree tomarry him.”
Aurelia looked at the bank card she was holding. She was confused.
Could it be that Rosa and Seth had changed their attitude?
While she was still thinking, her colleagues around her were already stirred up. Most especiallyKimberly.
Kimberly walked up to Aurelia in her expensive high heels, and admonished bitchily, “Aurelia, don’t youstill think about Seth? Now, even his mom has come to apologize to you. Just forgive him and agree tomarry him. After that, you can live a cozy life. All you have to do is take good care of your family.”
Aurelia didn’t miss out on the mockery in Kimberly’s eyes. So this was what Kimberly meant when shesaid Aurelia couldn’t get over Seth in public.
Aurelia assumed that Kimberly must have had something to do with Rosa’s sudden a
appearance.
Aurelia opened her mouth and tried to explain. But, she was interrupted by all the persuasions
around her.
“Aurelia, don’t be so fussy. It’s not easy for this old lady either. She even sold her house for you andSeth. You’re going too far if you’re still angry.”
“Money is more important than love in this corrupt society. I feel really bad for Seth.”
“Aurelia, you’re a grown–up now. You’re not in your early twenties, so you can’t be that picky anymore.You have to be realistic and think about your own conditions as well.”
Everybody shared their opinion. They sounded as if they were trying to persuade Aurelia to get backwith Seth. But in fact, they were rubberneckers. If Aurelia refused to marry Seth, that would be thereality of materialism.
When Rosa saw the scene, she raised her hand to wipe her tears. But, there was a smirk on the cornerof her mouth.
A young lady without a strong psychological defense mechanism would be wavered by those words.She might even think that since the Martinez family had given her the money, it meant. that they hadshown their stance and apologized. Everyone would think she was too fussy if she continued to getangry. In the end, she would agree to marry Seth muddle–headedly.
However, Aurelia had seen through Seth and the Martinez family. She would never believe that Rosa,who used to turn her nose up at her, would sell her house to scratch together the money.
She took a deep breath and looked at her colleagues. “Since you all believe her so badly, you can allbe her witnesses. Don’t think that I’m bullying an old lady.”
As she finished, she handed the bank card to Millie who stood beside her. “Millie, there’s an ATM at thecorner of the lobby. I think the password is Seth’s birthday, which is 960522. Can you go and check thebalance of the card?”
