Chapter 889


    While Aurelia was still dazed, the mysterious person behind Alexander showed his true face.


    Aurelia’s hand flew to her mouth as she nearly shrieked.


    “Don’t be so surprised…” Alexander was trying to hold back hisugh as well.


    How could she not be surprised, though?


    When the two of them entered just now, Aurelia had thought that the one following Alexander was a…


    maid!


    She scanned Neil from head to toe with widened eyes.


    He was in a short-sleeved blouse and a long narrow skirt—arge-sized long narrow skirt. He was


    even wearing floral-embroidered ts and had a headscarf.


    If one did not look carefully, one would think he was just a maid with a bigger build! This maid with a


    bigger build had walked in swaying hips just now!


    Aurelia’s face was growing red. When she saw Neil’s glower, she could no longer hold herself back. A


    loud giggle escaped along with her tears.


    “Shh!” Alexander shushed her and asked Neil to wear the headscarf properly. There were still guards


    and maids at the door, and nothing was secure.


    Alexander strolled outside and waved a hand to dismiss those people. “I’m here to visit my aunt.


    Aurelia alone is enough here. You’re dismissed for now.”


    “Your Highness, but…” The guards were wary.


    “Why? Must I be supervised when I visit my aunt?”


    The guards quickly shook their heads and were gone in the blink of an eye.


    Now that the hall was safe, Neil pulled the headscarf off and breathed in relief. It was only then Aurelia


    dared to cackle loudly.


    “And you’re stillughing!” Neil red at her.


    “Uncle…” Aurelia was heaving. “Why this… hahaha! Why are you pretending to be a maid?”


    “Because Neil can’t enter the pce as he wishes,” Alexander exined. “And if the two of us appear


    at the west pce together, it’ll attract the attention of Aunt Carme’s spies. So I came up with this


    idea for him to act as my servant.”


    “Why not a guard?”


    “A guard is too aggressive and will also attract attention.” Alexander chuckled. “Besides, it is easier to


    dress up as a maid. Just the uniform, and we’re set. If he acts as a guard, I have to prepare the


    weapons for him—too troublesome!”


    Neil shot him a death re.

    Alexander cleared his throat and said, “This is the hardest role Mr. Neil Harris, the award-winning actor,


    has yed. Ms. Chilton, seize the chance and chat with him. I’ll wait outside!”


    He shed them a smile and left, closing the door behind him.


    Aurelia and Neil stared at each other for some time before bursting intoughter together.


    Neil went up to pull her into a hug. Aurelia struggled a little and let him hug her when she could not


    shove him away.


    Speaking of which… his hug wasfortable.


    She pressed her ear against his chest and listened seriously.


    “What are you doing?” Neil’s voice was a little husky, his gaze indulging.


    Aurelia smiled. “Listening to your heartbeat!”


    “What do you mean? Trying to make sure whether the one hugging you is a man or a ghost?”


    “You!” Aurelia punched him. “I heard Cordelia say that she likes staying in Mr. Z’s arms the most. When


    I asked her why, she said that his heartbeat is the best sound in the world!”


    She blinked and pouted.


    “But I think… Cordelia’s wrong. Your heartbeat sounds the best!”


    Neil froze, and his heart could not help beating faster. He looked down at her.


    Since she was “invited” into the pce by Carme ten days ago, she had never left. Only God knew


    what he had gone through these ten days!


    He could not contact her and did not know if she was safe. He was unable to see her smile or hear her


    voice… Neil felt worse than a cat on a hot tin roof—he was like a cat on a ming roof!


    Even with Alexander’s help as he could go in and out of the pce with the convenience of his status


    and could help him protect Aurelia in secret—even when Rowan had told him that Aurelia was a great


    help staying at the west pce and that he would ensure her safety—Neil had still suffered.


    When sleep lost him, he would pull out his phone to watch the video again and again. The girl was like


    a brave, righteous warrior, not flinching even against the queen.


    “I won’t exchange Neil for anything!


    “I’ll let him know that I’m worthy of him!”


    Neil would keep watching and chuckle when he came to this part. As he chuckled, his tears would fall


    too.


    He finally had the chance for Alexander to take him in today. Although a maid was was and would be


    safer, the idea of it definitely included Alexander’s mind to prank him!


    Let him prank him, then. He just wanted to see Aurelia. As long as he was not pranked to death,


    anything could go.


    “Hey.” Neil swayed the girl in his arms. “Are you done listening?”


    Aurelia was enjoying herself with her eyes closed.


    “Say, we only get to meet for 20 minutes. Are you going to stay like this for all 20 minutes?”Books

    “Hmm, why not?” Aurelia replied with a giggle.


    “You…” Neil swallowed the word brat.


    The moment he saw the video clip, he had decided to turn a new leaf. He was going to be nice and


    elegant and would notsh out at her so impulsively.


    It was just that they seemed to be used to being rough with each other being together.


    Neil suddenly recalled his lines from the films he had acted in the past. He had acted in roles of a


    domineering bossy CEO too, and the lines were fresh in his mind.


    He smiled and got into character in the blink of an eye. “Sigh, you rascal!”


    “Huh?” Aurelia snapped her head up with widened eyes.


    Neil’s “rascal” seemed to have gone through several turns in his throat as it was tinged with some


    teasing, mockery, and indulgence… It creeped Aurelia out as she had goosebumps!


    However, Neil seemed happy with his performance, thinking that he was good with his lines still. He


    yanked Aurelia to pin her against the wall and supported himself against it with an arm and a cool look.


    Aurelia did not know how many ridiculous idol dramas he had filmed in the past. The male leads were


    as if factory-produced—always brimming with confidence and an overbearing smirk, always the same.


    “Woman, you’re the first person to hear my heartbeat! You’ve sessfully attracted my attention!”


    Aurelia looked at him with a grimace. What kind of romance drama was this? This was more like a


    horror film!


    Neil thought that he had won her over with this and stroked his chin, considering that the next step


    would be a kiss. However, just as he slowly leaned in, the back of his head felt like something hit him!


    It was a pillow?


    What came together with the pillow was a loud, crisp voice. “Let her go!”
