Aurelia felt like her wrist was breaking because Leslie held onto it so tightly.
She shot a slightly annoyed but amused glance at the seemingly composed man next to her.
“Mr. Synder, this is all fake.”
“I know.”
“Then…”
“She is too ugly,” he said with a deadpan expression.
“Well, she is kind of ugly.”
Aurelia felt dumbfounded.
Throughout the movie, she felt like she was watching a comedy with her wrist constantly hurting.
By the time the movie ended, her wrist felt numb and red.

“I’m fine. Who would have known it could be that scary with such a romantic title?”

“Well…”

horror movies.
“Let’s go home,” he said.
“Sure.” She smiled and followed him.
On their way home, she looked outside the window and felt somewhat excited.
Aurelia rarely posted on social media, but decided to take a few photos of the sunflower in her hand,
before posting it.
A minute later, she remembered that she didn’t block her colleagues on social media.
By the time she unlocked her phone, everyone had already commented on the post.
“Beautiful flowers. They look so delicate. But it’s just a bit too small.”
“It’s nice for photos and won’t take up too much space.

“You should have told your husband to buy a few more or else you wouldn’t even be able to fill a vase.”

Arriving at the doorstep, Aurelia grabbed Leslie’s arm and pointed to the smoke seeping out from the
crack in the door.
“Mr. Synder, look at that!”
Leslie forcefully pushed open the door and found the apartment filled with smoke.
Linda emerged from the kitchen wearing an apron, coughing.
“Why is this meal so difficult to prepare!”
“Mom, are you okay?”
Aurelia waved her hand and quickly rushed over to support Linda.
Meanwhile, Leslie opened the balcony door and windows to disperse the smoke in the room.
Aurelia noticed the flour on Linda’s face and suppressed a laugh.
“Mom, how did you end up like this?”
Linda wiped her face.
“I just wanted to make a wedding cake for you two. Who knew the oven would be so hard to use?
Smoke started coming out of it before I knew it.”
Leslie sighed.
“Is it possible that you’re just bad at cooking?”
“You heartless boy, I’m doing this for your dense head!” Linda retorted angrily.
Aurelia hurriedly intervened.
“Mom, Mom, it’s okay. I’ll help you clean up later.”
Linda happily replied, “My daughter-in-law is indeed the best. I don’t think we can cook in the kitchen
tonight though…”

“Let’s order takeout.”

The two of them were truly well-matched.
Once Aurelia and Leslie finished tidying up, they felt exhausted.
After all, they had spent the whole day out and about.
Aurelia just wanted to lie down and relax.
However, as they walked out of the kitchen, they discovered Linda watching TV in her pajamas.
Both Aurelia and Leslie were stunned.
“Mom, it’s late. Aren’t you going back?” Leslie asked.
Linda picked up her teacup.
“Didn’t I say I’ll be staying here for a while? Have you forgotten your mother after getting married?”
Leslie didn’t know how to respond.
