Chapter 393 “What’s wrong?” Leslie asked. Aurelia grimaced and rubbed her lower back. “Man, my back is killing me,” she groaned. “I was trying to sit all upright and stuff for the camera today, but it was exhausting. I could totally use a wheelchair right now.” Leslie couldn’t help but chuckle at Aurelia’s complaint, and a faint smile appeared on his face. However, Aurelia felt that Leslie was making fun of her, so she tried to defend herself, saying, “Who wants to be all slouched over on TV, right? I even searched for the most. popular sitting poses online yesterday. They’re supposed to make your legs look longer. “And hey, there were even some people online complimenting my vibe today.” “Hmm?” Leslie frowned. “What? Why are you frowning?” Aurelia was embarrassed. “I’m just wondering if there are actually people who need to even learn how to sit properly?” “You’re… cold–hearted! Forget it, I don’t need your help.” Aurelia pushed Leslie away and walked toward the passenger seat. But upon seeing her struggle, Leslie smiled and reached out to support her back. Then, he lifted her up. “What are you doing?” Aurelia exclaimed in surprise. “Didn’t you say that you were in a hurry to buy groceries? You’re moving so slowly that the supermarket will close soon,” Leslie said as he walked to the passenger seat. “How did you know?” Aurelia paused. “Did you watch the live broadcast?” “Yeah.” Aurelia suddenly found herself at a loss for words. She gazed at Leslie holding her, and it stirred up a feeling inside her that was hard to put into words, But somehow, it felt warm and tingling. After placing Aurelia in the passenger seat, Leslie helped her fasten the seatbelt. And because of this, they were very close and could almost feel each other’s breath. Chapter 393 In such a tense moment, the both of them recalled the close call they’d had the previous night. Meanwhile, the air conditioning blew inside the car, but the temperature didn’t seem to drop until a police officer knocked on the driver’s side window. “You can’t park here. Here’s a fine of 50 dollars. Remember to pay it,” the officer said. Aurelia and Leslie were left speechless. Then, the police officer added, “Make sure you two lovebirds behave!” Leslie’s face darkened upon receiving the ticket, and after starting the car, his expression became even more unpleasant. Aurelia felt guilty and thought that she might’ve made him unhappy by getting him fined. So, she said, “Mr. Synder, are you okay?” “It wasn’t worth the money,” Leslie muttered before pausing for a moment and continuing, “I didn’t even do anything.” Annoyed, Aurelia directed the air vent toward herself. What else did Leslie have in mind? Meanwhile, the inside of the car was silent, and the atmosphere was ambiguous. Then, Aurelia quickly connected her phone to the car’s bluetooth, intending to play at song to ease the mood. “Come on, be happy…” Leslie’s face immediately darkened even more. After that, Aurelia quickly pressed the pause button and awkwardly chuckled. “Sorry, I listened to it in your car before. I thought that it was nice, so I searched for it.” However, Leslie remained silent. So, Aurelia switched to another song, and Leslie’s complexion gradually improved. But unexpectedly, Linda called right then, and because the Bluetooth was still connected, the entire car was filled with Linda’s hearty laughter. “Where are you, Aurelia?” Linda asked. “In the car.” Aurelia hesitated and looked at Leslie. “Then let’s discuss which maternity center to choose.” Chapter 393 3/3 “What?” Aurelia responded in disbelief. Was there something wrong with her ears? A maternity center? Linda chuckled. “Of course. My daughter–in–law and grandson can’t live in poor. conditions!” “Wait a minute, Mom, what grandson?” Aurelia cautiously asked. “Aren’t you pregnant? There’s a picture of you coming out of IN with Leslie holding your waist, and it just happened to be snapped and posted online,” Linda cheerfully replied. “Pregnant?” Aurelia was taken aback. “Yeah,” Linda happily replied.
