Chapter 737


    The next day, Neil nearly dropped his jaw in shock when he saw Aurelia at the door.


    “Mr. Harris.” The Chaisnd butler bowed gentlemanly. “Mr. Hamerton’s instructed that Ms. Aurelia will


    stay here under your care from now on!”


    It took a moment for Neil to process it.


    This morning before he woke up, he received a call from Cordelia and groggily listened to her speak—


    something about it was no longer safe for Aurelia to stay with her, and they had something big to do


    and that they needed to protect Aurelia…


    He had thought that he was dreaming. That was why he agreed in passing when Cordelia mentioned


    sending Aurelia to him.


    It was unexpected that…


    “Hey, wait!” Neil did not manage to hold the butler but almost ran into Aurelia instead.


    Aurelia stood there timidly with her luggage, and Neil looked at her. Although he frowned with


    impatience, his hands moved on their own ord to take her bag from her.


    He asked for another room soon.

    “Key card.” He nced at her. “You stay in this room.”


    Aurelia nodded obediently.


    “There’ll be people cleaning it every day, and there’s a buffet restaurant downstairs. You can eat


    whatever you want as long as you show your room card to the staff.”


    “Mm.”


    “Let me know if you need anything.” Neil coughed after he said that and emphasized, “I mean… the


    room’s checked under my name. You have no identity, technically. What if the receptionist wants to


    check your ID when they send whatever you ask for when you call them? So, you might as well tell me,


    and I’ll get the front desk to send it. Easier this way!”


    “Oh, okay.” Aurelia nodded seriously and said hesitantly, “Uncle… I-I want that, can I?”


    “What?” Neil furrowed his brows.


    “It’s…” The young girl blushed and was almost inaudible. “It’s…”


    She mentioned a brand.


    It took Neil a moment before realization struck him, and he felt awkward as well.


    It was a cheap sanitary pad brand. There was nothing good about it other than the low price, and it was


    said that there had been disputes about its quality.


    He looked at the girl. She stood there like a little bunny with her head lowered and eyes looking around,


    just too scared to look at him.


    For some reason, he was ufortable about it.


    “Mm, I… I’ll get them to send it to you in a while,” Neil answered in a mumble.


    Aurelia jolted and smiled in relief. The man’s expression was frosty, but he probably did not hate her as


    much.


    “Thank you, uncle!” Her voice was crisp as she began to talk again, “Heh… my period isn’t usually this


    time, actually! I don’t know why it came a few days earlier this time! And I only realized it after leaving


    the house this morning, and I don’t have it in my bag, and I’m too embarrassed to go back for it… so I


    can only trouble you!”


    “…”


    “Right, you can differentiate day and night use, right?”


    “…”


    “Uncle, I want to take a shower and change out of my pants…”


    “Okay, okay!” Neil stopped her. “Enough. I’ll go out now!”


    …


    A few days of staying thereter, Aurelia shed her pitiful look in the beginning and frequently annoyed


    Neil to the brink of a volcanic explosion.


    “Uncle, are you really an award-winning actor in Centrolis?


    “But I’ve never seen your movies!


    “Oh… I remember now. There was a film showing in Eropah previously, and the box office did horribly.


    The male lead in the poster seemed to be you!


    “Fredric says that you like the director. Is it true?


    “Uncle, why did you hit my head!?”


    Nobody knew how many times Neil gave her the death re every day, resorting to his fists when


    death res did not work.


    The man thought that the extent of his eye expressions would definitely be on new heights by the time


    his visa ended and he went back to Centrolis!


    Despite that, Aurelia enjoyed every second of it. She knew that Neil would not actually get mad at

    That day when she came out of the bathroom and saw the sanity pads on the table, it was an


    expensive brand on the most expensive shelf in the mall. Its wrapping was like a rainbow, and the


    design was dreamy.


    She had taken a piece out, and tears followed—she could not bear to use it.


    Neil had said nonchntly, “Girls should use the best for things like this!”


    Aurelia had never been doted on like this, so Neil became a presence of deity to her. She looked up at


    him, admired him, and kept a passionate, secret love for him.


    She knew that she had a lowly background, however, and dared not step over the line.


    That was why she joked with him carelessly andughed to her heart’s content to hide her small ego


    and inferiority. She counted down in secret every day to see how many days were left until his visa was


    up.


    Her mood sank a little with each day that passed. She told herself that they came from different worlds.


    It was already great that she had this chance to spend time with him.


    Right now, she was having a barbecue on the hotel’s top floor with Neil.


    The weather was wonderful today, and she had just brought it up spontaneously, yet Neil executed it


    with seriousness, instantly asking for barbecue equipment and food to be sent over.


    There was also a three-tier buttercream cake because Aurelia had muttered about her birthday


    approaching two days ago.


    Neil put in the candles and asked her to make a wish.


    Aurelia knew her wish would note true, but she still closed her eyes and put her hands together to


    sincerely wish. When she opened her eyes, she met Neil’s deep ones.


    “Uncle.” She suddenly felt a pinch in her nose and squeezed a “thank you” out after some time despite


    wanting to say more.


    “You mean for the birthday?” Neil smiled. “It’s nothing. You’re 18 now. There should be aing-of-age


    ceremony. This is hasty. We’ll add the ceremony on your next birthday!”


    “Will there be a next time?”


    “Hmm?”


    Aurelia quickly shook her head and smiled happily.


    “You promised! You’ve got to host me a big one on my next birthday! You know what, I want a party like


    the royal princess! Very, very grand and luxurious!”


    Neil smiled and rubbed her hair.


    “Sure.”


    “I want a birthday present too! A diamond ne?”


    “You money-grubber! How dare you ask something so expensive from me, huh?”


    “Just tell me if you’re giving it to me or not!”


    “No!” Neil red at her. “Do I look like a diamond ne to you?”
