Vincent looked at his petite woman curiously.
He wanted to know what else Aurelie was planning.
“You and your body, the size of a newborn rabbit, are so busy,” Vincent said, stroking Aurelie’s hair.
Aurelie felt uncomfortable when Vincent acted intimately like that.
It wasn’t uncomfortable because she disliked it, but on the contrary, she really liked it and was starting to feel familiar with the rush of blood in her blood when it happened.
“Are you sure we need to go to Rex Moon, baby?” Vincent reassured her.
“I have a lot to do,” Aurelie said calmly.
“And I really hope you’ll help.”
One of the advantages of being blind was that Aurelie could hide whatever feelings she was feeling from others, because her eyes remained blank and blank, even when she was sad or happy.
There’s a reason why people say the eyes are the windows to the soul.
The problem was that Aurelie’s soul didn’t have eyes, so she didn’t need to open a window for others to peek in.
He was safe from anyone else’s judgment about his feelings.
Vincent shrugged.
He was interested in what Aurelie had to say and wouldn’t miss anything about it.
“Okay,” Vincent said.
He turned to Gary.
“Gary, get the car ready.
We’re going to Rex Moon.”
The Beta nodded obediently and immediately went to get the car.
Aurelie unclipped her cane when she heard the car outside the living room and walked towards the door.
However, she let out a small yelp when she was suddenly lifted, and before she knew it, she was in Vincent’s arms.
“Alpha Vincent,” Aurelie hissed.
“What are you doing?
Put me down.
I can walk by myself.
I’m blind, not paralyzed!”
Vincent chuckled and nuzzled Aurelie’s forehead with the tip of his nose teasingly.
“News about us is still trending, and I think we should continue to act affectionate like a loving husband and wife.
This could be free advertising and also profitable for you, regardless of your plans,” Vincent said.
“Ugh, you’re taking advantage of a situation, Alpha Vincent,” Aurelie hissed.
“That was just a practical measure,” Vincent said.
Aurelie didn’t argue any further, but instead raised both arms and wrapped them around Vincent’s neck.
She didn’t want to fall.
Vincent made sure Aurelie was seated comfortably and then ordered Gary to drive at a moderate speed.
“What are you looking for?” Vincent asked when he saw Aurelie fumbling with her bag.
“Phone,” Aurelie said.
“I need mine.”
Vincent helped Aurelie get her phone.
“I’m right by your side.
You don’t need to call me if you miss me.”
Aurelie laughed softly, and Vincent was captivated by the neat rows of pearly white teeth that were revealed when she laughed.
“Beautiful,” Varn murmured.
“She has a unique charm that makes people fall in love with her slowly, and more and more each time.”
“Varn, why do you always suddenly appear when it comes to Aurelie?” Vincent grumbled.
Varn laughed and disappeared again.
“Who are you calling?” Vincent asked when he saw Aurelie unlock her phone.
“Someone,” Aurelie said.
“Just listen.
And please, be quiet.”
Aurelie ordered her special phone to call Fiora, and in less than three seconds, a woman’s sharp voice answered.
Aurelie put the speaker on and motioned for Vincent to listen.
“Why are you calling me?” Fiora asked sharply.
“What else do you want?”
“Hello, my sister,” Aurelie said softly.
“Why have you been so angry lately?
Is it because your and Mathew’s plan to trap me was foiled by Mathew’s own father?”
“You bastard,” Fiora cursed.
“It didn’t fail at all.
It was just delayed.”
“Hm, are you sure that’s all?” Aurelie asked mockingly.
“It seems Mathew is afraid his father will strike him off the family register for not marrying me.
Isn’t Mr.
Damon desperately needing me as his daughter-in-law?”
Fiora was truly upset.
She was trying to persuade Mathew to defy his father and marry her.
She had no idea that Mathew’s father actually wanted Aurelie as his daughter-in-law and was actually against her and Mathew being together.
Fiora was convinced that Aurelie simply didn’t have the fragrance formula that Mathew’s father so desperately wanted and was confident that if she could provide it to him, she would be easily accepted as the Damon family’s daughter-in-law.
“You cunning woman!” Fiora snapped angrily.
“You’re just using your blindness to gain pity and the fact that you once helped Mathew.
It all means nothing, because in the end, you ended up with the most asshole in town.”
Vincent’s eyebrows knitted together.
Aurelie could sense the change in Vincent’s demeanor, and she took his hand and patted it gently.
Vincent relaxed again.
“Who are you calling the most asshole?” Aurelie asked softly.
“Don’t play dumb just to cover up your regrets,” Fiora said scornfully.
“You must regret marrying Vincent Keagan, right?”
“Why should I regret it?” Aurelie asked, feigning confusion.
Fiora laughed so hard that Aurelie had to hold the phone away from her ear.
“She’s gone crazy,” Vincent whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
His warm breath fanned her skin.
“Mathew is the ideal man you can’t have, no matter how hard you try, even to the point of sacrificing your eyes to blindness?” Fiora sneered.
“In the end, I’m the only one Mathew wants.
I’m the only one worthy of being his companion.
You’re nothing and will never be anything but a slave to that stupid, useless, cruel, and cheap Casanova Vincent Keagan.”
Vincent was furious, and he intended to retort Fiora, but Aurelie’s touch stopped him again.
This time, Aurelie even took his hand and kissed it gently.
“Alpha Vincent!” Varn said.
“Why are there so many butterflies fluttering in your stomach?”
“Damn it, Varn, shut up!” Vincent hissed.
“Don’t ruin this moment with your ridiculous comments!”
“Fiora, you shouldn’t judge others so easily,” Aurelie said calmly.
“My husband is nothing like those cheap rumors that portray him to be.
You’re dead wrong.
In fact, I think I’m lucky that your and Mathew’s plan ultimately led to me becoming Alpha Vincent’s wife.”
“Bullshit!
You must be just trying to console yourself,” Fiora sneered.
“Mathew is the best man in town, and everyone knows your husband is the worst.
Get ready, Aurelie, you might die by his hands, tomorrow or the day after.”
“Hmm, fine, if you’re so adamant that Mathew is the best.
You’re so in love, aren’t you?” Aurelie said quietly.
“But do you know where your beloved is now?”
Silence.
There was the sound of grinding teeth.
“Don’t tell me you’re flirting with him, Aurelie!
You cheap woman, you must be trying to get him to come back to you, right?
Tell me where he is?”
“Why are you asking me?
You implied you were true lovers, but now you don’t even know where he is?” Aurelie’s calm words were thick with sarcasm.
“Don’t play around, Aurelie.
Tell me, is he with you?
What did you do to him?
Are you trying to set him up?” This time, Fiora sounded panicked and worried.
“Instead of guessing and freaking out like that, you’d better come to the Rex Moon Hotel.
Mathew has a private suite there, right?
I even still have the spare key,” Aurelie said sweetly.
Fiora became angry.
“Hey, you jerk, Aurelie, YOU—”
“Come and see for yourself what’s happening to the man you adore, Fiora.
Don’t be late, or you’ll regret it,” Aurelie said, cutting off Fiora’s insults.
She ended the conversation without further ado, leaving Fiora fuming on the other line.
Vincent stared at Aurelie in amazement.
Who says cruel people are synonymous with scary faces and big, muscular bodies?
Look at this little white rabbit.
She even does her shirting with a calm, soft voice, and a sweet smile.
And it looked even scarier.
“Amazing, little bunny,” Vincent said, putting his arm around Aurelie’s shoulders.
“How can you do all that while still smiling, so calmly, and your voice so soft?”
“What am I doing, really?” Aurelie asked innocently.
Unable to resist, Vincent kissed the tip of Aurelie’s nose.
“You’re even more cruel than people say I am, baby.”
Aurelie chuckled, her cheeks flushing.
“Thanks to my blindness, I can escape the death penalty even if I kill.”
