Chapter 1995


    Chapter 1995


    Aldor, feeling like a pawn in a whimsical game, approached Aurora. She immediately grabbed his cor


    and began scrubbing his face fiercely with a wet wipe. The force reminded Aldor of a vigorous


    bathhouse scrub, making him wince and quickly pull away.


    "Why are you dodging? Proud of that lipstick mark on your face?" Aurora scolded, irritated.


    "Lipstickmark?" Aldor asked, bewildered.


    Aurora red at him, "Jaylene kissed you in the car. Did you enjoy it? Remember, she''s not Mr. Saun''s


    daughter. Forget about bing a wealthy son-inw!"


    Aldor, at a loss for words, asked, "So, we''re over?"


    "Over what?" Aurora was confused.


    "You told me to give up on my dreams of marrying into wealth," he said seriously.


    Aurora, momentarily speechless, retorted, "I meant her, not you!


    And how long have we been dating? Can you even tell if it''s serious? Or do you want to end it? If so,


    you tell Grandma. I won''t take the me!"

    Seeing her agitated state, he smiled softly, "So, I can still dream of marrying into wealth?"


    Feeling ufortable under Aider''s gaze, she reverted to her usual brash demeanor and tossed the


    wet wipe at him, "wipe it off yourself! Disgusting!"


    ''No wonder Ste insisted Keegan sit in the front seat earlier. She had been guarding him against


    Jaylene all along, using Aldor as a shield to protect her husband from romantic advances. Clever!''


    Aurora thought.


    Unable to hear anything from the room, Ste eventually went downstairs to wait in the living room. Her


    phone rang soon after; it was Cordelia.


    "Coco said you were drinking. You didn''t, did you?" Cordelia asked.


    "No, Grandma. How could I?" Ste replied.


    "Where are you? why send Baldwin for Coco? Couldn''t you go?"


    Ste thought, ''It wasn''t convenient, not during our scheming.'' 1


    "We couldn''t. Keegan got drunk, and Aldor couldn''t manage alone.


    " Ste exined.


    "Just Aldor?" Cordelia questioned slowly. "Coco mentioned


    Jaylene. who''s with her?"


    Ste was at a loss.


    Always astute, Cordelia probably suspected something. She knew Keegan was calm, but Ste was


    more vengeful and harder to control.


    " Jaylene is with US. We asked Baldwin for Coco since Aldor was busy with her," Ste said.


    "I see. Make sure she gets home safely," Cordelia advised.


    Ste agreed and hung up.


    Less than half an hourter, Jaylene''s phone rang. It was Darcie.


    ''Darcie is too clever. She won''t believe anything I say if I answer,'' Ste thought. After pondering, Ste


    deepened her voice and altered her tone before answering, "Darcie, it''s me."


    Darcie paused, surprised. The male voice on the other end was unmistakably Keegan''s.
