Chapter 108 Our Mother
“Huh? What are you going to say to her?” Aurelia sat up straight when she heard Callum wanted to talk to Cathy.
The man laughed, “Sweetie, I’m just here to help you with this matter. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything that shouldn’t be said.”
Callum’s tone was full of teasing, and Aurelia quickly explained, “No… no, I’m just curious, you’re overthinking it, I’ll give her the phone right now!”
Cathy bit her finger in fear when she saw that she was really asked to answer the phone. She whispered to Aurelia, “Mr. Finnegan… want to talk to me?”
Aurelia blinked and nodded seriously, “Yeah.”
Cathy quickly put down the phone in her hand, and rubbed her hand on her clothes before taking Aurelia’s phone. Finally, she put the phone to her ear and said politely, “Hello, Mr. Finnegan!”
Aurelia, “…”
Callum said something over there, and Cathy quickly refused, “No, Mr. Finnegan, Aurelia and I were just joking, really, there’s still a lot of money on the card you gave me last time, you don’t have to take it seriously… really!”
In order to prove that what she said was true, Cathy added many “really” in just a few words…
Callum then said something else and Cathy could only nod, “Okay… thank you Mr Finnegan.”
The phone was back in Aurelia’s hands, and she looked at the call that hadn’t been hung up yet, “Uncle Finnegan, what did you do?”
“Nothing to do. I’ll have my assistant pick you up at noon and have lunch together.”
“…”
After the call, Cathy couldn’t wait to say, “Aurelia, I find your husband is more serious than you, really.”
“What’s wrong?”
Then, Cathy told Aurelia everything Callum had told her.
Callum told her that this was not a joke, but a matter of keeping one’s word. Since Aurelia had lost the bet, she would definitely feel uncomfortable if she didn’t treat Cathy to lunch for a month. So, he had asked his assistant to add a deposit to her card on the fifth floor of Alioth, enough for her to eat for a month…
Aurelia, “…”
She found that as long as the problem can be solved with money, Callum will never choose other ways to solve it…
The person who came to pick her up at noon was Suzanne Simpson, who took Aurelia directly to the company, and then Callum took Aurelia to the restaurant.
As soon as they finished ordering, Aurelia couldn’t wait to ask, “Uncle Finnegan, what does your mother like? What does she like to eat? What are her hobbies? Is there anything I need to pay attention to…”
Before she could finish her question, Callum took her hand.
The girl looked at him in confusion, and Callum patted her hand in comfort, “That’s your mother too, you have to get used to it. She’s a very nice person, don’t be too nervous, I’m sure she will like you very much!”
Aurelia was skeptical, “Really? Are you sure?” She had heard too many problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships before.
“Sure and for sure!” Rachel said very early on that when she gets married in the future, she must marry a lively and cheerful girl. She also hopes to have a lively girl as her son-in-law and wife.
Aurelia was relieved, “Okay then, how many days will your mom be here?”
Callum opened the warm wet towel, gave her a sidelong glance, and corrected her, “Mom, come over for two days.”
“Oh oh!” Mom, Mom… remembered it.
Aurelia’s mind was still full of her meeting with her mother-in-law, and even when Callum asked her questions, she answered a little absent-mindedly.
“Where did you get the money to buy me a ring?” He would receive text messages for every purchase, big or small, on the card he gave her, but recently there had been no reminders of her spending thousands of dollars.
It’s not that he is monitoring her anymore, the information is a built-in function of the card.
“Of course I earned it!” I don’t know what her mother-in-law looks like, but looking at Callum, I can guess that her mother-in-law is also good-looking…
“How do you earn it?”
“Sing!” So when she comes, should she go out for a walk with her?
“Where are you singing?”
“Bar… ah, what did you ask me just now?” Aurelia accidentally caught a glimpse of the man’s unhappy eyes, and instantly came back to her senses, trying to think about what he had just asked and what she had answered.
Her hand was tightly held by the man, and Callum asked in a deep voice, “Who asked you to go to the bar to sing? Didn’t I give you a card? Did you drink?”
Her hand was a little painful, but Aurelia, who felt his anger, did not dare to escape his control, “I won’t go there anymore… The card you gave me was given by you, what’s the point of using your money to buy you a ring? But, Uncle Finnegan, I really didn’t drink, hehe.”
The girl said the last part, looking at him ingratiatingly.
After hearing her say she would not go there anymore and that she did not drink, Callum looked better. “Did your voice get hoarse last time from singing?”
Knowing she couldn’t escape, Aurelia nodded truthfully, “I haven’t sung for a long time, and I sang for too long that day, so I accidentally became hoarse! But my voice has its own repair system, and it was all healed the next morning, you know!”
He did know that Aurelia’s throat had healed the next morning, and he had asked someone to prepare the medicine for her, but he didn’t give her the medicine. It was just… “What is the self-repair system?”
“Hehe, it will get better automatically. I also made my throat hoarse before because I wasn’t paying attention when singing, but later my throat seemed to have gotten used to it and it gets better automatically every time!”
“…”
At this moment, the silly smile on the girl’s face deeply touched the man’s heart.
He grabbed her hand and put it to his lips, “Silly, don’t do this again! If you want to buy something for me, just use the card I gave you. I’ve already given you the card, so it’s your money, understand?”
“Okay… But, Uncle Finnegan, I’m already twenty-one, I can definitely make my own money, right?” She carefully defended herself, his kiss fell on her fingers, itchy… She couldn’t help but smile and narrowed her eyes.
“It’s not impossible for you to work. After you graduate, you can do whatever you want, but your studies are the most important thing now, Aurelia. I ask you to study hard now so that you can be better in the future, okay?” Although she was already very good in his heart, as a woman, she would not only face him in the future, but also many more people. It would be best if she could do better.
She nodded. She was not a three-year-old child. She could sense his good intentions. Moreover, many people had told her that she had changed recently. Of course, they said that she had become more elegant and outstanding.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
All this is really thanks to Callum…
Which girl doesn’t want to make herself better? She wanted to do it before, but, one, she didn’t have the conditions; two, she didn’t know what to do; three, she was used to being a playboy, so it was impossible to learn without someone to force her…
