Chapter 29 He Doesn’t Deserve You
Nathaniel walked over with a cold face. In those few seconds, Aurelia had already considered many possibilities.
She thought, 'If he really heard my conversation with Ulysses and knows about my pregnancy, I would call Chelsea over, and we would solve the entanglement face to face. We are both pregnant. He has to make a choice. Although my chances are slim, I won't allow him to harm my baby. I must give birth to my child. If he doesn't allow me to, I will kill him. Perhaps I should also kill Chelsea and leave Nathaniel to live a lonely life.'
Aurelia smiled, quietly watching him approach as if awaiting his judgment.
She was mentally prepared. She kept reassuring her babies in her mind.
‘Darlings, don't be afraid. I will protect you with all my might. If your father doesn't want you, it's not because of you. He doesn't deserve you!’
Time passed slowly in her heart, feeling like a mental torment. Aurelia braced herself for what was about to happen.
Surprisingly, Nathaniel walked up to her without saying anything.
His good manners prevented him from arguing with others in public.
Aurelia understood him well.
She thought, 'Judging by his expression, he's angry. I go to the restaurant with Ulysses and even put on makeup. That's why he's angry. He has never liked my relationship with Ulysses. Besides, he dislikes me wearing too much makeup. Now he's not saying anything. It's the calm before the storm.'
Suddenly, Aurelia felt that she should not feel guilty. She thought, 'He also brought his mistress to the restaurant. Besides, everyone knows that Ulysses doesn't like women. He also has an improper relationship with Chelsea. Compared with him, I am innocent. I do not betray him.'
With this in mind, she straightened her back and confidently greeted him, "Mr. Heilbronn, do you bring your girlfriend for dinner? What a coincidence."
She thought she no longer cared about him. However, her heart shattered when she saw him and Chelsea sitting together and placing their orders.
She thought, 'How much more pain do I have to endure to ignore him?'
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes but remained silent, his brows furrowed. It was like a quiet warning.
At this moment, Chelsea walked over in high heels. She stopped next to
Nathaniel gently took his arm, smiling brightly. "Aurelia, what a coincidence! Is this your husband? How about introducing him to us?"
Aurelia felt a pang in her heart. She gazed at Nathaniel with laughter in her eyes, wondering what he would say.
Ulysses had a fiery temper. Aurelia could endure, but he couldn't. He stood up abruptly, wanting to hit them.
"Bitch! Stop pretending to be innocent! You seduced your sister's husband! You're just a mistress! Do you think you're his wife?"
Chelsea didn't expect Ulysses to curse at her in public. She took a step back and almost immediately started crying.
"Nathaniel, Aurelia's boyfriend, insulted me! Do I offend Aurelia? If so, I apologize to Aurelia. I know I am wrong."
After speaking, she held Nathaniel's arm tightly, blinked her innocent eyes, and wept quietly.
This was Chelsea's first time meeting Ulysses. She had encountered him having dinner with Aurelia at the restaurant. She wanted everyone to know about Ulysses and Aurelia's relationship to prompt Nathaniel to divorce Aurelia immediately.
Nathaniel sarcastically looked at Aurelia, and everyone thought he was about to say something.
He pushed Chelsea's hand away and pulled Aurelia to leave. Before leaving, he even took her bag and left Ulysses and Chelsea in the restaurant.
Aurelia was pulled by him. She had to run to keep up with his pace.
They arrived at his car. He suddenly pushed her against the car door.
"Why do you go to the restaurant with him?" he asked.
Aurelia's back hit the car door. It hurt, and she instinctively protected her lower abdomen with her hand, feeling relieved.
She thought, 'He doesn't mention my babies, so it means he didn't hear my conversation with Ulysses. It's still a secret.'
"You go to the restaurant with Chelsea. So I can do the same," she retorted.
"Are you free? You don't take your job seriously, and you go on dates after work. Do you think my grandfather will help you? You're not worthy of Samuel."
Their concerns were completely different.
Aurelia felt insulted by his words. It was like hearing a joke. She laughed sarcastically.
"Nathaniel, you betrayed your lover. Do you think everyone is like you? You know Ulysses doesn't like women. We are just friends. You can't slander me."
She did not betray him.
She thought, 'And he gets another woman pregnant. He doesn't mention his betrayal but accuses me with a straight face. That's so unfair.'
She wanted to ask him, "Nathaniel, why are you treating me like this? I like you, but you can't bully me. My heart is broken. What on earth do you want?"
Aurelia stared at him, hoping he would say something more ruthless and heartbreaking to make her give up this love completely.
Nathaniel had just seen her with delicate makeup and chatting happily with Ulysses. He had never seen her in such a relaxed and natural state.
Her eyes were so charming.
But how could he blame her? She was born with a pair of charming eyes. She couldn't close her eyes when talking to others.
He thought, 'Since Chelsea came back, Aurelia has been cold and indifferent to me. Her eyes, however, were so distant and indifferent when she looked at me. It wrenched at my heart.'
Although Ulysses didn't like women, Nathaniel was still jealous of him. Nathaniel admitted that he was jealous and was very angry.
At this moment, being mocked by her, he realized that he should not have said those words.
But so what? Nathaniel would not admit his mistake. His wife cannot have dinner with other men at a restaurant. She can only have dinner with Nathaniel.
"Don't wear such heavy makeup outside of the Bloom Villa!"
He warned with a cold face. He reached out to touch the corner of her eye and began to rub her delicate skin, which turned red in an instant, but he couldn't wipe off the faint eyeliner.
Aurelia's eyes were moist. Her eyes were naturally charming. At this moment, there was a red bruise near her eyes. Under the dim streetlight, her eyes became even more charming.
"Take a good look. I just put on some eyeliner and lipstick."
Nathaniel opened her bag and rummaged through it for a long time. Finally, he took out the eyeliner pencil.
He then broke it into two pieces.
He used a lot of force.
"You are not allowed to wear eyeliner in the future, and you are not allowed to smile at other men like that. Do you understand?"
Thinking of her chatting and smiling with Ulysses, he felt very jealous.
Aurelia laughed at his childish behavior. "Can you lock me up? Can I still make friends? Can I still talk to other men? You are disgusting."
Nathaniel leaned on the car with one hand, holding her tightly in front of him. He stared at her. "Do you think I don't want to lock you up? How about I lock you up in the Bloom Villa? Or do you have any other place you like? All the Heilbronn family's properties are available."
Aurelia's back was pressed against the car. She tilted back as much as possible, keeping a distance from Nathaniel, who held her tightly at the moment. She could feel his warm breath.
"If I choose the Jade Community, can you make Chelsea leave there? You have no right to make these demands on me. Mr. Heilbronn, we are getting a divorce. You are about to marry Chelsea."
