However, when she noticed him looking her way, she asked politely.
A look flashed across Matthew’s eyes as he closed the book in his hands. “I have a video conference in an hour. Maybe next time.”
It was an expected response. With a smile, Aurelia nodded. “Okay, then I’ll be on my way.”
“Wait a moment.”
Aurelia found herself stopping again, feeling perplexed. Why does it seem like Matthew is reluctant to part ways with me? It’s rather unusual.
“Is there anything else?” she asked.
Matthew set down his book, striding over with his long legs. His towering height required him to lower his head to look at her.
This pose made it seem like he was gazing at her with a look of profound affection.
“You…”
Matthew’s gaze this?”
fell on her collarbone. “Are you
sure you want to meet the family looking like
Following his gaze, Aurelia looked down. When she saw it, her face instantly flushed red. “I didn’t notice it earlier.”
Last night, Matthew couldn’t hold back–or rather, neither of them could. They were incredibly passionate. There were marks left behind. One look at them, and it was obvious what had transpired.
She knew that no one would believe her if she claimed that they were caused by an allergy or mosquito bites.
She rushed upstairs to change into a shirt that could cover her collarbone. Once she descended the stairs, she confronted Matthew. “Next time, could you not leave these marks?”
If she went to work with these marks, she wouldn’t know how to explain herself if her colleagues noticed.
A faint smile played on Matthew’s lips. “As for what happens in bed, it’s hard to predict. But I’ll do my best.”
Aurelia looked at how seriously Matthew looked, she found herself at a loss for words.
In bed, he was like a wild beast. Yet, once he was out of bed, he was well–dressed and groomed. No one could possibly link the man he was at night with the man he was now.
Recalling the wildness of last night, Aurelia dared not dwell on it any longer and hastily fled.

Watching Aurelia who seemed to be fleeing in panic, Matthew chuckled.
Is she feeling shy? Last night, when she found it unbearable and bit down on my shoulder, why wasn’t she shy?
The faint imprint of a bite mark could still be seen on his shoulder.
At Phyllis‘ residence, all the children were going to return home, bringing the family together once again.
Phyllis was particularly elated and filled with anticipation. He had gone to the supermarket early. in the morning to buy groceries, preparing to cook a feast for lunch.
The children each had different preferences when it came to food. Thus, she prepared something for each of their tastes.
The children had grown up, each with their own careers and academic pursuits.
She, on the contrary, wasn’t as busy anymore.
As Phyllis was preparing the meal, she fell deep in thought.
As she thought of her husband, her eyes welled up with tears. She eagerly awaited the day when they would meet again in the afterlife. Then, she could proudly tell him that she had raised their children extraordinarily well.
They had all achieved their own successes now. Their youngest son, Herbert, was consistently among the top performers. There was no doubt he would be able to get into the university he had set his heart on.
Seeing that all the children were doing well, she felt a deep sense of contentment.
In just a short while, more than half of the dishes on the table had been prepared.
Aurelia arrived earlier than Xavier and Charlie. Upon seeing the heap of items she was carrying, Herbert was taken aback. “Aurelia, did you buy all these?”
“There’s more in the car. Come with me to grab it,” Aurelia said to Herbert after setting down the Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
items.
Herbert gazed at the skincare products and clothes laid out before him. “Did you buy these for
Mom?”
“Exactly. Although she’s our mom, she’s also a woman. She was born beautiful, anyway. With these enhancements, she’s bound to be even more stunning!
“You’re right. Mom has worked so hard for us all these years. It’s time she thinks more about herself. We’re all grown up and can take care of ourselves now. Mom should live the life she’s always wanted to, happily and freely.”
Once he began earning money from his job, he would also start buying various skincare

His mom must have what other moms had.
Finished
The two of them descended the stairs. In a short while, they returned carrying numerous items.
“My little brother has really grown up!
Aurelia gave Herbert’s shoulder a friendly pat, brimming with a sense of pride that her little brother was growing up well. He wasn’t just a top student, but he was also capable of physical work.
Despite carrying a large pile of things up the stairs, he didn’t even flush or pant. This meant that he was very strong physically.
“I’m about to start college. Of course, I had grown up. If you ever need anything, you can always count on me. If anyone dares to bully you, I can take on two at once.” Herbert flexed his arm, showing off his muscles.
Although he studied a lot, he never neglected his exercise.
Both of his brothers had such impressive physiques, so he couldn’t afford to let his family down.
Amused, Aurelia chuckled. “Well, you better keep training. I believe in you! I’ll go help Mom.”
She walked toward the kitchen.
Within two minutes, Phyllis came out.
Finished
When Herbert saw Phyllis, who seemed like a completely different person after changing her clothes, he exclaimed, “Mom, if we go out together, people will surely mistake you for my sister. They would never think that you’re my mom.”
“Don’t tease your mother like that. I’ll let your sister have a look.” Phyllis couldn’t help but laugh at the compliment. She had checked herself in the mirror before she stepped out.
It felt like she had become ten years younger.
“Auri, does it look good?” asked Phyllis as she stood in front of the kitchen door.
Aurelia instantly looked over, her eyes lighting up. “Mom, you’re so beautiful and elegant! We totally look like sisters!”
She was definitely not exaggerating.
Indeed, Phyllis appeared noticeably young.
Despite having a few children, she had managed to maintain her figure. Her diet was usually quite healthy and her complexion was vibrant. She didn’t seem like a woman nearing her fifties.
Back then, Phyllis was married off to Aurelia’s adoptive father at the tender age of eighteen.
She became a mother at a very young age.
Afterward, Aurelia’s adoptive father had an unexpected accident and his body was never found. For all these years, it had been Phyllis who had been managing the entire household.
Just then, there came a knock at the door.
Herbert had assumed it was his older brothers at the door. But when he opened it and saw who was there, his smile froze instantly.
