Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia pointed to the bed. “Which side do you prefer to sleep on?”

“The left side,” Leslie replied.

“Then put my water cup, hairband, and charger on the nightstand on the right side,” Aurella Instructed.

“Anything else?” Leslle asked.

“My pillow.” Aurella placed her floral pillow on the bed before hopping onto it and rolling around twice.

“What are you doing?” Leslie stared at Aurelia bouncing around on the bed.

“I also love sleeping on the left side. And since there’s no trace on the right side of the sheets, I have to press it down to make it look like someone has slept there.

“Whose sheets stay perfectly smooth anyway? Don’t you want to lie down too?” As Aurelia said this, she rolled around again, totally clueless as to what she was implying.

It wasn’t until she suddenly froze in the middle of the bed that she realized that she had invited Leslie to share the bed.

So, Aurelia quickly scrambled out of bed and hastily straightened her clothes. Then, she ran her fingers through her hair. “I’ll go tidy up the bathroom and freshen up.”

With that, Aurelia dashed off.

Once she was in the bathroom, Aurelia glanced at herself in the mirror. Then, she lightly tapped her lips and caught sight of time on her phone.

Instantly, she snapped back to reality.

It was almost 9:00 am, and she had a lot of things to do.

After freshening up, Aurelia stashed her toiletries away in the bathroom cabinet.

But who would just snoop around someone else’s bathroom anyway, right? Just the thought of it gave Aurelia the creeps.

After tidying up, Aurelia’s phone beeped twice, reminding her it was 9:00 am. So, she quickly left the bathroom to attend to her other errands.

“Mr. Synder, let’s grab some toast for breakfast,” she said to Leslie.

“Yeah.”

As Leslie followed Aurelia into the kitchen, he grabbed some milk and poured them two glasses of it. Then, Aurelia fried a couple of eggs and a few slices of bacon to make a simple sandwich,

As they sat at the table eating, Aurelia glanced at the blackout curtains in the living room. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

It was completely black.

Although the blackout effect was effective, Aurelia didn’t like it in the spacious and bright living room.

To be exact, from the moment she first stepped in, those two curtains never sat right with her. She would never use such curtains to block such good sunlight. Not to mention, It was blocking a beautiful balcony too,

But Leslie seemed to like it very much. Even during the day, he would sometimes pull the heavy black curtains and sit on the sofa, lost in thought.

And since this was Leslie’s home, Aurelia had no right to comment.

Upon sensing her gaze, Leslie took a sip of his milk before casually asking, “What else needs to be changed?”

Aurelia shook her head. “Nothing.”

“The curtains?”

“Nope. After you’re done eating, take your plates to the kitchen. I’ll go prepare the ingredients.” Aurelia changed the subject.

Then, she carried her empty plate and headed into the kitchen.

However, even after a while, Leslie still hadn’t brought in his plates.

Curious, Aurelia walked over to the kitchen door to check. And to her surprise, she found Leslie standing on a stool, taking down the curtains.

Aurelia immediately walked over. Then, she looked up and asked, “Mr. Synder, what are

you doing?”

Leslie continued removing the curtains as she replied, “As long as they’re not pink curtains, you can buy whatever you want.”

Aurelia was stunned. She hadn’t expected Leslie to figure out what she’d wanted.

But she was puzzled too. “Mr. Synder, why are you doing this?”

“You dislike them, right?” Leslie casually said.

Aurelia gazed up at Leslie, her heart racing.

But just as she was lost in thought, the curtain hook unexpectedly fell down.

“Be careful,” Leslie said. Then, he jumped down the chair and reached out to hold Aurelia’s head, pulling her in front of him.

But Aurelia was a bit dazed, and she was still looking up at Leslie.

Just then, the heavy curtain fell onto Leslie’s head, covering the both of them and enveloping them in darkness.

The weight of the curtain pressed Leslie’s head against Aurelia’s, and their lips firmly

met.

Immediately, Aurelia froze with her hands tightly clenched.

She’d forgotten to push Leslie away, but she’d also expected Leslie to push her away too.

Yet, he didn’t.

Instead, his hand pressed against the back of her head, and it exerted a force that forced Aurelia to tiptoe to relieve the tension.

This sudden kiss in the cramped darkness became fiery yet restrained.
