Chapter 313 Albie’s Answer
Chapter 313 Albie’s Answer
Recently, Karen was detained for two days in connection with Nevaeh''s case. However, with her
family''s influence, it shouldn''t be difficult to get her out. After all, she was only used because of her
ignorance and didn''t have any malicious intent. Now that she had some free time on her hands, what
mischief was she up to now?
Aurora read the message and was a bit surprised. She didn''t expect the text to be so rich in content.
Karen informed her that she and Albie were getting engaged soon and hoped that Aurora would attend.
Aurora couldn''t believe it. From a sister''s perspective, of course, she wanted Albie to be happy but
Karen didn''t seem like a good match for him.
She thought about it for a while before swallowing all these frustrations down. Since Albie had made
his choice already regarding his love life, outsiders couldn''t judge or interfere too much.
She decided not to reply to the message since if there were any congrattions needed they should
up getting married.
Cameron noticed Aurora''s worried expression.
"Is everything okay?" he asked concernedly.
Aurora raised her phone showing him the message from Karen saying, "Karen says my brother is
going to get engaged soon."
"Engaged?" Cameron looked surprised as he read through the contents on Aurora''s phone screen. "I
heard about their engagement before but I never thought it would happen."
He continued seriously, "The Hayward family has been known for making business alliances with other
families like the Doyle family, is your brother willing?" He paused then added, "Being born into families
like ours often means we don''t have much say in our own lives."
Aurora blinked then sighed softly, "Regardless of anything else though, since they''ve both decided on
this marriage, I should still bless them."
She felt these thoughts were just stereotypes anyway. If Albie wasn''t willing himself, nobody could force
him into anything.
"Oh by the way," Aurora said suddenly changing topics. "I probably won''t be able to go back to Halberk
anytime soon."
She looked ahead, her hair falling in front of her eyes, "At least I have to attend my Albie''s wedding.
We finally found each other again after missing out on so many years because of Nevaeh. I can''t miss
his wedding."
Cameron raised an eyebrow and silently agreed. He knew how important Albie was to Aurora. Even
during their five years in Halberk, she only cared about her brother''s affairs. Growing up together made
them cherish each other even more as they grew older. He understood that.
"Did she say when the wedding is going to be?" Cameron thought he should prepare a gift in advance
since it was so important to Aurora.
"I''ll ask my brother personally." Aurora turned her head and wavered her gaze. "This is a good time for
me to bring Theo back from Sion."
Cameron nodded without saying anything else.
The car had already stopped outside Crescent Group''s factory gate. Cameron parked the car and
turned off the engine before turning his head towards her, "I''ll take care of Theo so you don''t have to
worry about him."
Aurora opened the door at the same time as him.
"That child has a big mind of his own sometimes, even I don''t know what he''s thinking," Aurora said
with a smile while shaking her head.
"So leave it to me." Cameron softened his expression when he thought about how clever Theodore
could be sometimes while walking inside, "Let men handle men''s affairs."
Auroraughed at what he said but couldn''t help admitting that sometimes Cameronmunicated
better with Theodore than she did.
"We''ll talk about returning home after Albie''s wedding."
After finishing up everything on hand, Aurora went looking for Albie.
She leaned against her chin curiously while looking at him, "Karen sent me a message saying that she
wants to send me an invitation card. But I think it would be better if you gave me your invitation card
instead, what do you think?"
"It doesn''t matter," replied Albie, who felt bitter seeing how excited she was. He subconsciously tried

avoiding talking about this topic altogether. Aurora leaned forward with confusion and worry written all
over her face. She asked, "Are you going to marry Karen?"
Albie paused momentarily upon hearing this question. Endless pressure from his family came rushing
back into his mind, making him feel agitated instantly.
After some silence passed between them, he spoke softly, "Yes."
"Okay then." Aurora bit her lip and nodded. "Whatever decision you make, I support you."
Albie looked up at her, his gazepletely focused on the figure across from him. "But I can also
choose not to marry, unless..."
His eyes were almost overflowing with affection. Aurora felt uneasy under his stare and took a sip of
water. Could it be that he agreed to the arrangement because she rejected him? Aurora shook her
head and dismissed the unlikely thought from her mind. It was a little self-centred to think that way. But
Albie''s gaze was so intense and passionate that it seemed like if she said "Don''t get married", he
wouldn''t do it.
However, she couldn''t just say something like that casually. From beginning to end, Aurora had always
treated Albie as a brother in the family. She never had any other thoughts about him for even a second,
let alone epting his feelings for her. Aurora''s eyes flickered slightly as she avoided his gaze.
"Albie, marriage is a lifelongmitment. You have to think carefully. You don''t have to rush into
marriage like this. Maybe in two days, you''ll find someone you like?" Aurora sipped soup through small
mouthfuls while trying to persuade him further. She couldn''t quite understand why they suddenly
decided on getting married when previously she didn''t feel like Albie liked Karen all that much. He
seemed somewhat impatient with her at times.
"It doesn''t matter anymore."
Albie helped served some fish onto Aurora''s te again after removing all the bones out of
consideration for her. He continued in a t voice, "You don''t need to worry about me."
Hearing this only deepened Aurora''s worries even more. What did he mean by being so indifferent?
What happened between them?
She couldn''t figure it out and sighed helplessly.
"If you''re happy with your decision then okay, Albie."
