Chapter 1173 Marc's Pursuit
"Mom, what is all this? I'm still young, I don't want to rush into a blind date. Besides, the second son of the Howard family is far away in the South, managing the Southern branch of the Howard Group. Are you really okay with me moving so far away? I don't want to leave you and Dad."
Hearing Aurelia say this, Savannah suddenly felt confused.
Yes, the Howard Group was currently under Adrian of the Howard family. If her daughter married the second son of the Howard family, given Adrian's methods, he wouldn't tolerate Donte developing in Vachilit.
Donte would have to return to the South, and Aurelia would have to go with him. That wouldn't do.
"Aurelia, you're right. I overlooked that."
"Mom, I'm still young. Besides, there are so many guys pursuing me. I need to choose carefully. How can I just casually get involved with a man?"
As Aurelia spoke, she walked out, greeted a few colleagues, and saw Marc approaching.
She held her phone. Marc was her college classmate and had helped her before. They later worked at the same hospital and had even performed surgeries together, so they were quite familiar.
But she never knew Marc liked her. The originally good classmate relationship became awkward with the added affection, making Aurelia uncomfortable.
Marc walked over. "Aurelia, off work? Are you free tonight? I heard a new movie just came out, and it's pretty good. Want to go see it together?"
"No, I have plans with Uriah. Gotta go."
"Aurelia, I think Uriah has plans with Pippa tonight." Marc easily saw through her excuse.
Knowing she was shy, he added, "I already bought the movie tickets. Why not go together? We're not strangers; we've known each other since college."
On the other end of Aurelia's phone.
Savannah laughed, "Aurelia, I heard a man's voice. Is it a colleague? Then agree to go see the movie together. You're so outstanding. Is it that classmate you mentioned before?"
Aurelia had to say a few words to Savannah and then hung up.
She looked at Marc. "Marc, I really have plans with a friend. There's still two hours before Antique Enigma starts. You can return the tickets."
"How did you know I bought tickets for Antique Enigma? This movie has a good reputation and a lot of people are watching it. You girls should like this kind of comedy, right? Looks like we think alike."
"Marc, I really have plans. No time. Gotta go."
Marc said, "Aurelia, I..."
He watched Aurelia walk away, feeling a bit frustrated.
He quickly followed her.
Seeing Aurelia standing at the hospital entrance, next to the sidewalk, checking the time and looking at the traffic, Marc walked over.
"Aurelia, I have a car. Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"No." Aurelia directly refused.
Marc didn't want to miss this chance to spend time together. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a black BMW approaching.
Suddenly, Aurelia's face lit up. "Derek."
Derek got out of the car, having changed into a black tracksuit, looking handsome and casually comfortable.
Derek was tall, with deep-set eyes, chiseled features, and a high nose bridge.
His buzz cut exuded a strong masculine vibe, and his athletic build was evident even in the tracksuit. His wild and bold presence was palpable.
He opened the passenger door and nodded at Aurelia. "Get in."
