The Priceless Bride: A Tycoon’s Obsession

Chapter 29: Burned by hot oil for nothing



Aurelia was anxious when she heard Callum say that to her. “No, I really came here to apologize. I apologize for always being against you before…” Ever since Callum moved back to the villa, he had completely changed from Poison-tongued Old Rascal to an elder who interfered in everything she did . She kept reminding herself that she really couldn’t be willful about some things anymore. She had to build a good relationship with him so that everything would be easier to deal with in the future…

Before she could finish, Callum interrupted her, “That’s enough, go back! Don’t step into the kitchen again!” He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth elegantly.

Huh? Although she didn’t know why, Aurelia still suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and responded obediently, “Okay, I know. Sorry to trouble you!” After that, she quickly packed up the lunch box.

When they reached the office door, the girl finally turned back and asked tentatively, “Um… Callum , can you sign the divorce agreement…”

“So, you played the good girl for a whole day just for this?” Humph, see! He knew that Aurelia would change her temper! There must be something wrong, sure enough…

Now that he had seen through her, Aurelia straightened her back and said, “Yeah, what else?” If it weren’t for what happened the previous times, she would have only been grateful to Callum . After all, he had raised her for three years.

However, what happened in the previous few times wiped out all the gratitude in her heart!

The man sneered, “I said, if you want a divorce, go find grandpa, as long as grandpa agrees, I will sign!”

Aurelia rushed back to her desk, resisting the urge to slam it, and said, “You know grandpa is still in a coma, how can I ask grandpa to agree!” It was clearly an attempt to embarrass her!

“That’s your business! It has nothing to do with me, get out!”

“…” Meeting his warning gaze, Aurelia had no choice but to leave.

Looking at the closed office door, Callum’s eyes flashed with complexity, and there was still a faint smell of burnt food in the air…

He lit a cigarette irritably, opened the window to let out the burning smell, and called Jim in, “Go get me another copy of Aurelia ‘s information! I want the details!”

” Aurelia ?” Jim was a little confused.

Callum glanced at him coldly, took out a red book from the drawer and threw it on the table in front of him.

Jim ‘s expression changed from confusion to astonishment. So, during the marathon that day, the girl that Mr. Finnegan had been looking at, and the girl who just came was… Madam of the Finnegan Clan ?!

Aurelia slowly got into her old BMW. The driver, Tony Micah, was a retired soldier in his fifties. Seeing her listless face, he smiled and said, ” Aurelia , has the president eaten yet?”

Aurelia shook her head in disappointment, closed the car door and put the lunch box aside.

Tony Micah turned around and smiled to comfort her, “Then the president must have eaten!”

Aurelia didn’t say anything. Thinking of Callum ‘s reaction just now, she looked at the lunch box next to her, unscrewed it, picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

… She immediately took several tissues and spit out the braised pork.

Tony Micah looked at the little girl who was about the same age as his daughter with a smile, and understood why the president did not eat the food she cooked.

Oh my god! Is this… is this… the dish she cooked?

Aurelia stared at the black food in the lunch box in amazement, and understood what Callum meant.

Oh! Callum probably thought she was going to murder him! Aurelia looked at the place on her hand that was splashed with hot oil when she was cooking in the afternoon with frustration. Oh! She got burned by the hot oil for nothing .

After 10 p. m.

Callum rubbed his tired temples and appeared in the quiet villa. Taking advantage of the dim light, he changed into slippers and walked to the second floor.

” Callum …” A soft voice came from the kitchen door not far away.

A faint voice suddenly sounded, and Callum , a grown man, was frightened and his face changed. Seeing the person at the kitchen door, he frowned.

“Why aren’t you sleeping here so late at night and scaring people!” he scolded, making Aurelia feel innocent. Did Callum mean that she scared him?

Thinking of this possibility, she suppressed the urge to burst out laughing, pretending to be depressed and walked over from the kitchen door, holding the hot milk in her hand. She knew Callum would be back soon, so she came downstairs to heat milk for him. Unexpectedly, Callum came back at the right time, and he appeared just as the milk was heated.

” Callum , I’m giving you hot milk!” She handed the milk to the man innocently.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The man looked at the innocent eyes of the girl and felt a slight headache. “Why didn’t you turn on the light when you heated the milk?” Aurelia heated the milk for him? He really doubted whether there was poison in it!

Aurelia looked even more innocent, “The light was on in the kitchen. I just turned it off and you came in.”

Callum looked at the girl speechlessly. He bet she didn’t have the guts to poison him! He took the milk from her hand and poured it into his mouth without saying a word.

“Wait a moment……”

“Poof…” The man lost control again and spit the milk into the trash can on the side. Aurelia was so scared that she quickly took the remaining half cup of milk from his hand.

She had just wanted to remind Callum that the milk was hot, but before she could open her mouth, he had already taken a sip.

Callum’s face turned pale as he took a few big steps to the table next to him and took a few tissues.

He wiped his mouth, pointed at the girl whose face turned red from trying not to laugh, and ordered sternly, “You! Go upstairs and sleep right now!”

Aurelia opened her mouth and swallowed back the words she wanted to say about the divorce signature. She tried to suppress her smile, pursed her lips, put the milk on the dining table in a wronged manner, and went upstairs to her room.

Callum looked at her back, then looked at the half-full glass of milk, adjusted his breathing, and then followed her upstairs.

The little girl in the room was so happy for a long time because she accidentally played a trick on Callum .

As the night deepened, Aurelia tossed and turned in bed but couldn’t fall asleep. Many emotions were fighting in her head. What could she do to make Callum agree to sign the divorce?

This Callum is a stubborn person who won’t respond to any push or push. He can’t rebel, and he can’t please anyone. Why is he so hard to deal with?

Hearing the sound of a door closing next door, she checked the time and saw it was almost one in the morning.

Callum so hard every day? Otherwise, buy him a gift tomorrow to please him, maybe he will sign it if he is happy?

Thinking of this, Aurelia finally felt relieved. She sent a WhatsApp message to Liana and Cathy about going shopping together , and then fell into a deep sleep.

At seven o’clock the next morning, Callum appeared at the dining table on the first floor on time, and Mary quickly brought him the prepared breakfast.

” Mary .” Callum called out to the person who was about to leave.

“Master.”

The man thought for a moment and said, “She… cooked the meal herself yesterday?”
