While the employee was stunned by Leslie’s physique, Aurelia only just remembered she had
scratched him.
“Ah!” she screamed and swiftly covered Leslie’s chest. “T…There’s no need to expose so much. Just a
little…just a little will do.”
As she spoke, she pulled on Leslie’s collar, revealing the three scratch marks.
The employee’s gaze shifted between Aurelia and Leslie, finally settling on Aurelia’s fingers.
“Haha, I understand. It’s not severe. The redness was likely caused because you didn’t treat it in time
and exposed it to water. Just use some anti-inflammatory ointment,” the employee explained, handing
a relatively large tube of ointment to Leslie.
Just as Leslie was about to take it, Aurelia raised her hand to intercept. “Isn’t this tube too big? It’s just
a small wound.”
“Miss, it’s better to be prepared,” the employee said.
Aurelia was momentarily stunned and instantly realized that the employee had misunderstood.
In her embarrassment, Leslie took the ointment.
“Makes sense. This one, then,” Leslie said and paid.
Aurelia’s face turned red.
What was Leslie implying?
Watching her hurried departure, Leslie reminded her, “Aurelia, you’re going the wrong way.’
Aurelia hurriedly ran in the opposite direction.
Unable to hold back, Leslie laughed.
Aurelia passed Leslie and muttered curses to herself.
She looked around and found a corner with a window for shoe and clothes repair.

Aurelia stood at the counter and pointed at a picture of high heels with a broken heel on her phone.
“Sir, can you fix something like this?”
“Let me have a look.” The old shopkeeper adjusted his reading glasses and examined them for a while
before nodding. “It can be done, but these shoes have been worn for a while, right? The soles are
almost flat and it’s easy to slip down if you wear them.”
“Yes, it’s been three years. These shoes are important to me, so they must be fixed.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. I’ll attach a new sole for you, and it will be as good as new.”

“Great, thank you.
She was relieved. She had been meaning to take her heels for repair but hadn’t found a suitable place
for it
When she saw the shoe repair shop just now, she decided to give it a try but didn’t expect it to work
out
Seeing the contentment on her face, the old man glanced at something behind her.
She turned around and found that Leslie was behind her. “Mr. Synder, I…”
“Let’s go,” he said and turned to leave.
His sudden change of attitude left Aurella feeling slightly lost.
She didn’t know what happened and wondered if he was mad because she injured him.
She hurried after him and got into the car.
On the way home, she tried to speak a few times but was interrupted by the music Leslie was playing.
She understood that Leslie didn’t want to speak to her.
Once home, Leslie placed all the things they bought on the table.
Aurelia, on the other hand, opened the shoe cabinet and took out her broken pair of heels.
She placed it in a bag carefully and prepared to take them to be repaired the next day.
Once it was all done, she stood and found that Leslie was staring at her heels from a distance.
“Are these important?” he asked.
“Yeah.” She nodded.
Leslie didn’t question further and thought, “A gift from the ex-boyfriend is so important that she doesn’t
even bother lying to her husband.
“Aurelia, I’ve underestimated you. You are living with me now, yet your mind is still on your ex-
boyfriend.”
Did she really think that he wouldn’t find out where those heels came from if she didn’t say anything?
