Was Neil getting angry out of embarrassment?
Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a look and chuckled in unison.
Neil knew that he would be asking for a snub if he were to argue with the husband and wife since their love was so
strong, so he shook his head and coyly stepped away to board his plane with his hands on his back.
Neil’s private plane was relatively small compared to the Hamertons’, but the interior was luxurious and trendy in
design. As he frequently flew everywhere across the world for filming, the plane was designed to match his
superstar presence.
Aurelia sat properly on her seat without moving, as if afraid that she would wreck or stain somewhere with an
additional move.
With wide eyes, she looked around curiously. Posters of movies that Neil had starred in were hung in the cabin of
the plane, the man taking the center position in each of them.

man was dressed or styled, he was so handsome that gods would envy him.
There was an especially eye-catching one where he acted as an assassin. He bared his upper body in the poster,
and his physique was a perfect inverted triangle. There was a scar on his sinewy chest, and the lighting loomed
over his chiseled face.
Aurelia stared at it in infatuation, unable to shift her eyes away.
“Miss, the plane will take off soon. Please put on your seatbelt.
“Miss? Miss!”
The flight attendant reminded Aurelia several times, but she showed no reaction. It was until Neil plopped himself
down next to her and growled, “Aurelia!”
“Huh!?” Aurelia shuddered and quickly reeled her gaze back.
The flight attendant clasped Aurelia’s seatbelt for her with a smile and gave several reminders before she came
back again with slippers and a blanket.
Aurelia had never been served like this, so she smiled awkwardly. When she heard Neil’s loud cough, though, she
carefully tucked her smile away.
“Uh…” Neil glanced at her. “Don’t you have anything to tell me?”
Aurelia jolted before she shook her head. What else was there to talk about? Had she not made it clear to him back
in the helicopter?
Neil took a deep breath to suppress his inexplicable temper and told her, “Southeast Aciatic is a completely foreign
place to you. Adapt well when you get there.”
What he meant was that she could go to him if she found it hard to adapt.
Unexpectedly, the girl nodded and even smiled. “Don’t worry, uncle. I’m super good at adapting! No new
environment can beat me!”
Neil’s gaze paused on her face.

if you have excellent contributions or you’re an outstanding talent, the royals will grant amnesty, then you’ll be able
to receive citizenship soon.
“Aurelia, do you know what an outstanding talent is? A graduate of famous universities. There are several
internationally famous universities in Southeast Aciatic. If you could study there, it’d be a good choice.”
What he meant was that she should plead to him to be admitted to school!
Unexpectedly again, the girl told him seriously, “Don’t worry, uncle. I’ll study and work hard to get into a famous
school! I’m already learning Acian…”
“You…”
Neil’s nostrils were flaring, not receiving the answers he wanted. Was the girl determined to draw a clear line
between them? Was everything she said real? That he was just “uncle” to her?
Neil’s heart sank, and he glowered, tossing Aurelia the temporary residence permit.
The pass hit Aurelia’s head. Once she caught it with a fumble, she looked up and met the man’s cold eyes.
“I won’t care about you when we’re there!” he said, “Be smart on your own!”
He turned away to sleep right after speaking.
