Chapter 41 Capture His Attention
“If it weren’t for Herbert’s upcoming university entrance exam, I would have invited him to join us for a meal.” Xavier looked at his grown– up sister and thought of his youngest brother, suddenly feeling a sense of pride as if her daughter was all grown up.
Aurelia sat down. “In a month, once his university entrance exams are over, let’s all go on a family trip. I’ve recently made some money restoring antique
“You learned to restore antique paintings from Hannah, didn’t you?” Xavier wasn’t surprised. When they were in the countryside, many people in the village said that Aurelia spent every day at Hannah’s house reading books. They didn’t even know if sh
He had visited Hannah’s house and had seen her occasionally fiddling with some broken porcelain pieces.
By the time he returned, those fragments of broken porcelain had been skillfully restored into various antique vases. Moreover, Hannah’s painting skills w
However, for reasons unknown, he never asked Aurelia what she had learned from Hannah.
No one in the village had ever asked.
Perhaps there was an inherent authority about Hannah, and if she didn’t want to discuss something, not one dared to ask.
Looking back, Hannah seemed to have passed on all her skills to Aurelia.
“Indeed, Hannah taught me a lot. However, I couldn’t find work in antique restoration before. Recently, Hannah sent me a letter to inform me that I could related jobs, Aurelia answered truthfully.
Xavier nodded in relief. “You’ve grown up, Auri.”
“How have you been doing lately, Xavier? We spoke on the phone previously, and I heard that someone stole your thesis. Has this issue been resolved?

eyes flickered. “It’s been taken care of. Don’t worry
Aurelia noticed the change in Xavier’s gaze. She smiled subtly and said, “This barbecue is really delicious. The food is grilled to perfection.”
Xavier looked at Aurelia with a look of gentle adoration.
Before long, only a few skewers of meat were left on the table.
Aurelia rubbed her stomach. “I ate too much.”
She felt more at ease sharing a meal with her family.
When she was eating just now, she certainly didn’t bother keeping up with any table manners.
“I’m also full. Here, have some juice.” Xavier handed her a cup of juice.

After Aurelia had eaten and drunk her fill, she looked at Xavier with a beaming smile and took the initiative to ask, “Xavier, is there something you want to
Since they had grown up together since childhood, they understood each other deeply.
When he first arrived for the meal, Xavier appeared hesitant to speak.
Xavier couldn’t help but laugh. “You’ve been clever since you were a child, and there’s not much that can be hidden from you. Indeed, there is something I’d like to ask you.”
“Okay. Go on.”
“Today, the matter involving you, Melanie, and Curtis, they had the upper hand in the morning and were in control of the public opinion. However, the tide
Aurelia was taken aback. “I didn’t ask anyone for help.”
This morning, when she learned of a potential breakthrough in the case in front of the police station, she felt something was slightly amiss. However, be

Aurelia shook her head. “I didn’t.”
Xavier took a deep breath in silence. Perhaps I’m overthinking. I watched Auri grow up and am well aware of her personality. She’s kind yet tough, not ea
“Perhaps it’s the Leedon family’s business rivals hoping to take this opportunity to suppress the Leedon family.” Xavier speculated.
Aurelia suddenly thought of someone. Could it be Matthew?
However, she dismissed the thought. Matthew has always been wary of me, even harboring a rather unfavorable impression of me. If anything were to h in–law. Therefore, how could he possibly help me?
However, the business industry is akin to a battlefield. In recent years, the Leedon family’s influence in Jacaster had surged, seizing a significant share of the market, which was akin to taking a piece of someone else’s cake. It was hardly surpr
“You’re fortunate because someone else happened to target the Leedon family, Xavier added.
pon hearing Xavier’s analysis,/Aurelia found it to be reasonable.
Since it was impossible to guess who had made the move, it was enough that the outcome was favorable.
Gordon, who was dining in the building across from them, captured the moment when the two exchanged
smiles.
Chapter 41 Capture His Attention
He had plans with his university friends that day to dine at an old, well– known restaurant for some barbecue. However, unexpectedly, he spotted Aurelia dining with a gentleman at a street food stall.
The man had his back to him, but even from his silhouette, one could tell he was quite handsome.
Otherwise, Gendon figured Aurelia couldn’t have possibly smiled at a man in such a charming and carefree.

After a brief inner struggle, Gordon decided to send the photo to Matthew.
After all, Matthew was his provider.
Moreover, Mabel had instructed him to keep a close eye on Matthew and Aurelia, requesting him to seize any opportunity to bring the two together. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Gordon felt that this was an opportunity.
He wondered if Matthew would get jealous when the latter saw how dazzlingly Aurelia was smiling at another man.
Upon closer inspection, Gordon felt the man didn’t seem like Aurelia’s admirer.
Gordon immediately selected a few pictures and sent them to Matthew.
As soon as Matthew arrived at the Starry Sea Mansion, he heard the WhatsApp notification sound on his phone even before he had a chance to change his
He took out his phone and saw the several photos Gordon sent.
Amidst the bustling crowd of the marketplace, a woman with skin as fair as snow and features as exquisite. as a painting was smiling warmly at the man
That was a smile he had never seen before.
The smile carried a hint of coyness and a touch of dependence.
It seemed to create an illusion that anyone she looked at in such a way would feel as if all their wishes in the world were fulfilled.
Suddenly, Matthew’s gaze turned icy, shifting onto the man. Who is he?
At that moment, Gordon was constantly holding his phone, waiting. Once Matthew responded, he could discern whether Matthew truly liked Aurelia or not.
He watched helplessly as Aurelia and that man were about to leave.
Then, Gordon saw the man’s face, Oh my! He’s not inferior to my boss! He’s handsome and mature, not to mention very protective of Ms. Shaw.
When a drunken man staggered past Aurelia, seeming as if he was about to bump into her, Xavier pulled Aurelia into his arms, effectively preventing the
Gordon quickly snapped a few more photos and even recorded a video of the two people’s retreating figures as they left.

Judging by their heights, they were a perfect match.

Without any hesitation, Gordon sent the pictures and video to Matthew. These should be sufficient to capture Boss attention, rightt
