Chapter 192 A Clean Break
“Auri?”
Nancy noticed that Aurelia had suddenly stopped.
She followed Aurelia’s gaze.
When she saw Justin, her expression shifted as she was caught off guard.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have the time…
It was just that all of his time had been given to someone else.
Upon seeing Nancy and Aurelia, Justin also had a moment of surprise.
“Nancy…
Upon hearing her name, Nancy felt a pang of sorrow struck her heart.
Hearing the word “Nancy” seemed to smooth over the rough journey her heart had been through during this period.
Matthew was looking at Aurelia, and she was also looking at him too.
Aurelia knew that Justin and Matthew were friends, but she hadn’t expected to run into them at a restaurant by such a chance.
And Jeremy had also seen her by chance.
“We won’t bother you and your friend. We have other matters to attend to,” Nancy said, unsure of what else to say to Justin.
Before, it seemed like she had countless questions to ask when he was not around. But now, she didn’t know what to ask after seeing him in person.
“What’s going on here?”
Jeremy was taken aback.
Clearly, Matthew was somewhat taken aback to find out that Aurelia and Nancy knew each other.
Aurelia gave a nod towards Matthew, before she was led away by Nancy with her hand firmly held. in hers..
After the two had left, Jeremy voiced his confusion, “Justin, is your wife friends with Matthew’s wife?”
“Is Aurelia your wife?” Jeremy asked in astonishment as he turned to Matthew.
Matthew hummed in response, his fingers drumming absently on the table. He was clearly lost in

To Justin’s surprise, the world was vast, yet the circle was small. In an extreme twist of fate, Aurelia turned out to be Matthew’s newlywed wife.
“Your wife seemed upset with you, avoiding you carlier. Could she have noticed something? Never underestimate a woman’s intuition,” Jeremy cautioned Justin.
Justin furrowed his brows. “She’s not that sensitive.”
“This has nothing to do with being sensitive,” Jeremy stated outright.
Suddenly, Matthew spoke up, “Some time ago, Aurelia and I overheard your conversation with Gwendolyn in the woods at the hot springs resort.”
Justin’s face completely changed.

“We didn’t approach, and only heard your voices,” Matthew said, his gaze deep and mysterious.
“Aurelia and Nancy were close friends, so she wouldn’t discuss uncertain matters in front of Nancy to cause any suspicion between Nancy and me. As for me and Gwendolyn, I have a clean, break with her from now onward.” Justin understood that the coincidence was like a bucket of cold water pouring down on him.
The consequences of Nancy finding out about his affair were unimaginable to him.
Just a moment ago….
Justin pursed his lips tightly.
Jeremy touched his nose. If it was not the atmosphere that prevented him, he wished he could ask Justin, how comfortable was it really doing the deed in the woods?
Did he really partake in such thrilling activities?
He had met Gwendolyn just once, and it was clear that she was not someone to mess with.
He had a feeling that this matter wasn’t going to be resolved so easily.
He shot Matthew a glance.
However, Matthew didn’t respond, appearing to be lost in thought.
During this meal, everyone, except him, was weighed down with heavy hearts…
The two ladies had left the Atharian restaurant and made their way into the car.
Nancy felt her mind go completely blank.

when she saw Justin earlier.
She was so unfamiliar with him that she didn’t know what to say.
They were so close to each other, so how did they suddenly feel like strangers just a moment ago?
Nancy felt as if her heart had fallen ill.
“Nancy, are you alright?”
Aurelia passed her a bottle of water.
After taking it, Nancy drank several mouthfuls before her emotions finally settled down.
However, her eyes were still somewhat red.
Aurelia felt a bit worried upon seeing Nancy’s condition.
“I’m doing fine. It’s just that I can’t quite understand why I’m feeling so conflicted. It’s a kind of complexity that I can’t put into words,” Nancy seemed somewhat dazed as she spoke.
She was consumed by an inexplicable sense of panic.
Aurelia gently comforted, “I’m here, Nancy.”
Hearing that, Nancy immediately embraced Aurelia. “Auri, I didn’t mean to be so melodramatic, but it’s just that…”
In that brief moment just now, she truly felt like she barely knew Justin.
“I understand.” Aurelia gently patted Nancy’s back.
Suddenly, a call came through on Nancy’s mobile phone,
She picked up her phone, and was taken aback by the caller on the screen.
“He is calling me.”
Aurelia said, “I’ll get out of the car and wait for you. You guys have a good chat.”
After she got out of the car, Nancy took a deep breath, calming her previously tumultuous emotions. She then answered the phone, “Hubby.”
“Do you
have any other plans with Aurelia later? If not, I can leave the restaurant now and we can head home. I am sorry that I’ve been so busy recently that I overlooked your feelings. Let’s have a good talk when we get home.” Justin’s familiar gentle voice came through the phone.
Nancy’s eyes turned even redder listening to the familiar voice. “Okay,” she said.
After ending the call, she stepped out of the car, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she said to Aurelia, “I’m sorry, Auri. I won’t be able to join you for barbecue this time. I promise I’ll go with

“You can’t stand me up next time, okay? Go home and have a good talk with Mr. Hoffman. There’s nothing that can’t be resolved through communication. Feel free to reach out to me if there’s anything you need,” Aurelia said with a smile.
Then she got into the car, ready to drive off.
The couple had a minor disagreement, so it was best for her not to be a third wheel.
As Aurelia was about to drive off, Nancy suddenly had a thought and signaled for her to wait.
Aurelia rolled down the car window.
“Auri, could you hang around for a bit longer? I’ll have Justin introduce you to Matthew. I noticed you seemed quite taken with him earlier, and you couldn’t take your eyes off him.” Nancy couldn’t bear to see the stunningly beautiful Aurelia remain single.
Aurelia chuckled. “I know him. We’re married, and we are as familiar with each other as one could possibly be.”
Nancy’s lips twitched. “Stop joking around with me. I have this inexplicable feeling. Just Matthew was also looking at you too. Perhaps he is fond of someone just like you.”
“”
now,
“I’m not sure if he likes me in general, but it seems like he quite enjoys my company in bed,” Aurelia dropped this bombshell when she saw that Nancy still seemed skeptical.
Regrettably, Nancy could always shield it no matter how powerful the bomb was. “Enough with the nonsense!”
Aurelia found herself torn between laughter and tears. “What do I have to do for you to believe me?”
“Only if I catch you two in the act,” Nancy said. Her expression suggested that she had seen it all and had everything under control.
Hmph.
You are trying to con me?
She was sharp–witted and not easily deceived.
To be honest, if the person Aurelia was talking about had been anyone else, she would have. definitely believed it.
However, Matthew…
It was truly impossible to believe.
Out of the corner of her eye, Aurelia saw Justin leaving the restaurant. She turned to Nancy and said, “You should think about how you’re going to tell Mr. Hoffman about your plans to go.

Then, she turned to Aurelia and said, “I’ll have a serious talk with him. Be careful on the road, and let me know when you get home.”
