PopularNovelChapter 355 Leslie looked at Aurelia with a hint of surprise on his face and asked, “Why are you suddenly tellingthis?” “Oh, I'm sorry. It's nothing.” Aurelia was tying her apron when she paused. She immediately turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Leslie was somewhat intrigued, so he got up and walked to the kitchen entrance. When he reached the entrance, he suddenly heard Aurelia mumbling inside.
“When we were checking the CCTV earlier, Leslie was obviously interested in me. But he still distanced himself from me. Now that I've taken the initiative to talk to him, he’s acting indifferent about it. Isn't he kind of weird? | suppose it’s my fault. | shouldn't have Ce said anything and just let it be,” she muttered.
Aurelia muttered a few complaints while she was busy boiling water in a pot.
Leslie suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart. He glanced at Aurelia, who looked dejected, and then he walked back to the dining table.

“Dig in,” she said.
Leslie hummed in assent and kept his head down as he ate. Then, he casually asked, What did Leon want from you?” “Huh? Are you interested in knowing?” Aurelia was momentarily taken aback before muttering, “I thought you didn’t care about it.” “If you don’t want to talk about it, forget it,” Leslie said. He still wasn’t used to meddling in other people's business. After asking Aurelia, he immediately dismissed his question. However, he was actually quite curious about it. [x] It had been so long since he last chatted with someone casually that he couldn’t even remember it. It was why he was increasingly opposed to normal social interactions.
Aurelia leaned forward slightly and began to speak fervently, “He actually offered to give50 million dollars! | immediately turned him down though. He's so conceited! How can | put up with this? That's why...” As Aurelia spoke, she gestured around wildly. At spoint, Leslie even refilled her glass with water. Aurelia drank half of it before she continued talking. Despite everything, she Chapter 355 didn’t mention Leon’s mocking remarks about Leslie.
Meanwhile, Leslie was aware that she was being considerate of his feelings. As a result, he found himself becoming increasingly curious about Aurelia.
In the past, he had wanted to distance himself from Aurelia as much as possible. Yet, at that moment, he was the one who couldn't help but get closer to her.
After an hour of non-stop chatter, dinner finally ended. Aurelia even lamented the fact that she wasn’t able to punch Leon in the face.
Leslie was curious. “Why would you want to hit him?” he asked.
Aurelia, who was more relaxed after talking for so long, bluntly said, “That's because he said you're-" She paused momentarily before continuing, “H-he said | was useless.” Aurelia panicked and quickly changed what she was about to say.
However, Leslie immediately understood the cause of her anger-Aurelia was angry on behalf of him.
Leslie refrained from probing further, fearing Aurelia would feel embarrassed and run off again. He simply remarked, “He deserved to be hit.” Aurelia’s eyes flickered, and she let out a slight breath of relief. Finally, she looked at Leslie with a sense of unease.
“Mr. Synder, do you think I can win the trial this upcoming Friday?” she asked hesitantly.

Aurelia’s expression immediately broke into a wide smile, and she exclaimed, “That's true! You're my lucky charm, after all. If you say | can win this, then | definitely can!” Leslie chuckled to himself as he noted down how easy it was to appease Aurelia. He then gestured toward the clock on the wall and said, “It's tfor you to go to sleep.” Aurelia nodded and smiled as she went back to her room.
Before going to bed, she made sure to turn off her phone to avoid being bothered by intetrolls again.
