These people watched with amusement, while Sarah’s expression grew darker than ever.
would
She kept her eyes lowered, too afraid to look up. The person beside her spoke up. “We’ve watched Tina grow up. She’s kind–hearted and wo never do something like what you’re accusing her off”
The speaker was sealed to the right of Sarah, and it seemed she had a close relationship with her
At this moment, she slightly raised her eyes to look at Aurora, trying to suppress her further.
However, Aurora simply looked back calmly and said. “A moment ago, you already mentioned that we can never know what’s in someone’s heart”
Sarah was instantly at a loss for word.
She had just said that to convince everyone that Aurora was not a good person. Yet, now Aurora had turned the words back on her
At this critical moment. Ruth stepped in to give her away out.
Why make things so tense?
She said. “Let’s stop it. It’s rare for us to come together. Why
Ruth looked at Aurora and added. “Don’t just stand there. Find yourself a seat anywhere”
With that, the matter was considered settled. Aurora’s lips curved slightly as her gaze lingered on Sarah. “Today, when Maverick and I were at the mull, I noticed some black coffee for sale. Knowing you like it, I bought some just for you”
The coffee she bought came in small gift boxes, and she took them out, saying to other ladies. You take some home to try as well. I’ve heard it has a
nice tasir
Each person received a small box of coffee, and there was still one left. Without a second thought. Aurora placed the extra box in front of Ruth, who was now smiling even more broadly.
Someone asked, “Is this premium black coffee! I tried to buy it before, but it was out of stock for so long! It’s quite rare!”
Aurora replied. “Is it at Grand Mall! I bought it there.”
“Yes, yes! That’s it, Grand Mall! I’ve been wanting to buy it f for ages, but it was always sold out! You went out of your way?
Aurora quickly smiled and denied it. “Oh, not at all. I just happened to pass by and saw it.”
Though she said she just passed by, everyone knew that this black coffee wasn’t something easily bought on a whim. Their opinion of Aurora began to change, and even Ruth looked at her with a hint of admiration.
She originally hoped Aurora would come back and apologize to ease the tension Sarah had caused. But, unexpectedly, Aurora didn’t apologize and Instead left Sarah embarrassed. Feeling pleased, she ignored Sarah for a moment.
As the coffee bases were distributed, Aurora personally handed one to Sarah, showing hekjespect. However, the glances from the other women felt piercing, leaving Sarah uneasy and on edge
After chatting for a while, Sarah felt reviless. She stood up and said, “It’s getting late, and I have some things on, so 111 head out first Enjoy yourselves and keep chatting. Let’s plan to get together at my place sometime!”
Without waiting for Ruth to try to persuade her to stay, Sarah hurriedly left, almost as if escaping Aurora noticed the box of coffee left on the table. but she pretended not to see it. She turned instead to continue chatting and laughing with everyone.
Someone couldn’t resist asking, “Aurora, are you really not going to do anything about Tina!
Aurora looked a bit wistful. “I can’t just ignore it. Maybe I’m not generous enough, but I just can’t let it go
Tina was trying to take her husband. But as long as Tina didn’t cause her trouble, she didn’t care what happened to her
you can’t escape
The group of these women had mixed expressions, and one of them said, “That’s true. It’s a human life. Right or wrong, you can’t responsibility.
Aurora’s expression darkened as she was about to retort, but just then, steady footsteps echoed from the doorway. Following the sound, Maverick entered, dreaed in an expensive wil
He nodded and smiled slightly to greet everyone.
The person who had asked earlier immediately asked, “Maverick, you’re not missing your wife, are you?”
A burst of laughter followed, but Maverick pretended not to hear. Responding to the playful question, he simply replied, “I do”

The group of people toughed even harder, and Aurora’s face flushed with embarrassment. She quickly looked down and said. Please stop teasing me I’m still waiting for news from Ms. Hacker“”
Although she said she forgive Tina when she left, her mocking and triumphant attitude might have plued Tina off. She was worried something else would happen
es, Init Tina directly committed suicide
Other people would cry, throw a tantrum, and hang themselves,
Maverick reached out his hand to her. Tve left her to someone else. Don’t worry I’m here to take you back.”
Halfway through his work, he worried that someone might cause her trouble. He guessed she was still at his parents’s house and quickly came to pick her up
Hearing his words, these women began to trase. Although Ruth was somewhat displeased, she chose not to mind, considering how “thoughtful” and “consides the Aurora had been just now.
“Alright, it’s getting late, so we won’t disturb you two lovebirds anymore. Hurry up and go!” The words felt like they were pushing them out, but Maverick didn’t mind. He gave a slight nod and then left with Aurora, leaving the coffee she had left behind untouched.
As soon as they stepped out of the gate, Aurora cozied up to Maverick, holding his arm. “You finished your work so quickly!”
She had spent less than three hours, including shopping and chatting here, and it wasn’t even dark yet, But, he had come to pick her up so soon.
“Shall we go to the movies? Let me see what new movies are out.”
Aurora excitedly took out her phone and started looking up new and interesting movies. However, before the list could be loaded. Maverick rejected her. “I don’t have time. There’s a meeting at the office.”
Upon hearing his words, Aurora frowned and grabbed his hand. “Can’t we delay it? We haven’t even watched a movie together, nor have we gone on
■ honeymoon”
When she suddenly mentioned the honeymoon, Maverick found it somewhat amusing, though his expression stayed serious. “Next time. You should take care of your own matters first.”
Aurora stayed silent, but her expression clearly showed her discontent. Maverick found it cute, feeling a warm, satisfying fullness in his chest.
He dropped Aurora off at Grand Mall, where they had shopped before, and quickly headed back to the office. Aurora wandered around the mall with a pout, and before long, she unexpectedly found herself in the home decor section
Of course, she didn’t lack furniture, but she found plenty of exquisite little items. She strolled around, selecting a few fresh flowers and a hanging chair, along with a cloud–shaped lampshade. She also picked up several small decorations for the table and display shelves.
In the end, she couldn’t carry everything herself and had them arranged for delivery. Eventually, a servant from the island came to pick them all
- up.
The fresh flowers in the new white porcelain vase brought a lively touch to the room, the small ornaments on the table added a delicate charm, and the hanging chair, placed on the balcony with a soft cushion, became the perfect spot to relax and read during leisure time.
It was even big enough for her to curl up and sleep on
Once everything was arranged, she finally had time to relax. She changed into her new bunny–car pajamas, curled up in the hanging chair, and
waited for Maverick to return
She wondered if he would be surprised by the changes in the house when he saw it.
