The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie
Chapter 34

Chapter 34 

“Are you working part–time here?” 

Aurelia finally came back to her senses. Then she just noticed he was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, with a simple black bow tie under the shirt collar. 

The black overalls tucked the white shirt around his waist, which made him look even more wiry and tall. 

Although it was the same clothes as every attendant, it looked good on Scott. 

Now he was a little fatter than she remembered. Of course, Scott wasn’t really fat, but compared to his weight before he died. in Aurelia’s previous life, Scott, who was several years younger now, was obviously much healthier.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Aurelia thought of the hard work he had been with her day and night at that time, and he had never been at ease with her for a moment. He continued to take a refresher course, got an attorney qualification certificate, and dealt with the busy and heavy matters in the company together with her. Every evening when she had no choice but to go socializing, he also tried his best to help her drink wine on her behalf, protected her, and took her home…. 

“How could he not be exhausted? There was indeed a reason why he had been that thin,” she thought with guilt. 

Thinking of that, her eyes were suddenly wet. 

Scott looked at her in surprise. For some reason, the beautiful woman in front of him, whom he didn’t dare to look at further, looked at him with eyes that were filled with sorrow. 

There seemed to be countless words she wanted to say to him, but she just tried her best to hold them back in tears. 

He couldn’t help but feel sore after seeing her state. He was confused by his strange feeling as he did not know her. 

“Miss, are you okay? Did I hurt you?” 

” 

Aurelia came back to her senses after having uncontrollable recollections of the past again and then shook her head at him. She tried to calm herself down and smiled. 

“I’m fine. Hurry up and go in now. Aren’t you saying you’re going to be late?”

“Yes, but…” 

He looked at the cheap watch on his wrist. A trace of embarrassment showed on his handsome face. He was worrying about 

Aurelia. 

“Let’s go inside. I happen to be going in for food too. If you really feel sorry, just treat me to oatmeal then!” 

Aurelia saw the reluctance in his eyes. She also didn’t want to bid goodbye to their first encounter so soon. 

Therefore, she blurted out such words without thinking. 

After hearing what she said, Scott’s young face instantly looked surprised. “Ah! Of course!” 

Then he hurried forward and pushed the glass door open again. “Miss, please come in!” 

“My name is Aurelia. I’m a few years older than you. Just call me Aurelia from now on.” 

“Um, okay!” After a moment of hesitation, Scott immediately nodded. A little shy and awkward, he introduced himself quickly by saying, “A–Aurelia, my name is Scott!” 

“Well, I see. I’ll call you Scott in the future,” Aurelia looked at him and said with a smile. 

The big boy with a slightly blushed face in front of her and the look of that shy and introverted young man in her memory. 

suddenly overlapped at that moment. 

The incident made Scott five minutes late in the end. The manager, who had been very strict with part–time employees, severely scolded Scott and deducted his salary for two hours. 

However, Scott was not sad or depressed because of that. While serving coffee and drinks to the guests, he watched Aurelia sitting in the corner carefully from time to time. 

He was excited and could not believe the accidental acquaintance. He felt disbelief that such a noble and elegant woman made him call her by her first name Aurelia. 

“What is it? Do you know that beautiful lady?” a colleague suddenly leaned over, gossiping about him, and asked curiously. 

Scott was caught off guard, and his face turned red immediately. 

“Wow! Do you really know her? Tsk, tsk, Scout! Not bad! I can’t believe you know such a top lady!” 

“No, no. We don’t know each other. I-” 

“Well, no need to explain. An explanation is just a cover–up. Don’t worry. I won’t compete with you, but again, this lady is so beautiful. And it’s obvious that she is a daughter of a rich family. Look at the attire on her and the bag on the table. They’re all famous brands! Scott, don’t fall in love with her. Otherwise, you will be sad eventually.” 

Scott opened his mouth and wanted to explain that he had just met Aurelia a while ago, so he was far from liking her. 

However, he could not say anything and involuntarily turned his gaze back to Aurelia again. 

He had to admit that what his colleague said was right. He and Aurelia, the woman who was delicate, elegant, noble, and beautiful, were really from two different worlds. 

It seemed like a kind of unattainable disrespect and extravagance by assuming in his heart that they could be together, let alone like her. 

For a moment, the previous joy involuntarily turned into disappointment and bitterness. 

Aurelia seemed to feel his gaze. Halfway through eating the oatmeal, she suddenly looked up at him and smiled gently. 

That smile was like a ray of warm sunshine, instantly illuminating Scott’s cold heart and dispelling the inferiority in his heart. He felt happy again, and the previous loss and sadness naturally disappeared. 

He told himself, “It is lucky enough to know each other. How can I imagine getting more in the future?” 

Aurelia’s phone rang in that warm moment. She frowned slightly and put down the spoon in her hand. 

She opened her bag and took out her phone. Looking at the screen, she was surprised to see Maddox’s number on it. 

“Why did he call me at this time?” Aurelia thought. 

“Hello!” 

“Aurelia, I’m Maddox!” 

“I know I’m just wondering what advice Mr. Francois will give me.” 

Aurelia did not hate Maddox. Instead, she appreciated his forbearance, ambition, strategies, and means. 

But sometimes, it was not enough for a person to have the ability because luck was also needed. In her previous life, Maddox obviously lacked a bit of luck. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell who would be the winner between Marcellus and Maddox. 

After rebirth, Aurelia did not intend to be a good person. Therefore, if Marcellus was there, he would find that the way Aurelia talked to Maddox, who he recognized as a loser, was far more relaxing and leisurely than the way she talked to him..
