Chapter 275
In her heart, Aurum was a very well–mannered heir.
Darkness and poverty should not be shown in front of his eyes.
Gale sighed, “It’s possible that the child’s father will
never find me in my lifetime. I’m too ashamed to see him anyway. I don’t know what to tell him.
“Mr. Lefting, I also want to tell you that my relationship with Shawn isn’t that scandalous. I’m not his mis
tress.”
“Then you’re his…”
“I’m his puppet. His toy,” Gale said, “I can only be controlled by him.”
Aurum fell silent for a long time after hearing that.
“I’m really sorry to let you hear all of that,” Gale said softly.
“No, I’m very glad that you’re willing to tell me about all this. Gale, you have a lot of
secrets on you, and a lot of… relationships that I don’t understand.”
Aurum’s gaze had always been very upright and warm.
He had a very special feeling towards the girl in front of him.

was an old friend. After that, it was curiosity and surprise. Eventually, it came to be sympathy.
She had probably suffered a lot.
However, she merely brushed it off, not willing to
mention it in front of him, and not willing to act like she was miserable.
“There’s no need to understand me,” Gale answered, ” We’re people from different worlds.”
Aurum was someone far too noble for her.
Aurum smiled, “You don’t have to keep drawing the line. with me. I don’t have any other intentions. I jus
t feel a
connection with you and want to help you. I haven’t seen. you for a while, so I was a bit worried. That’s
why I asked you for some coffee after work.”
“Thank you.”
“If you encounter any troubles in the future, my offer is still there. You can look for me, and I’ll do my be
st to help you.”
Gale did not know what to say.
Aurum was a complete stranger to her. They did not have any past dealings, and did not know each oth
er, but he was willing to keep on helping her.
Could she be someone sent from above because they
thought she was too pitiful?
“Alright,” Gale smiled, “Mr. Lefting, I hope that things go smoothly for me so I don’t have to trouble you.”
Aurum smiled, “Yes, I hope so too.”
With that
smile, the two of them got quite a bit closer. They looked like normal friends who were just having a
chat.
“Mr. Lefting, can I ask you a question?”
“You may.”
Gale was very curious, “I know you have a girlfriend. How did you know each other? You must love her
a lot.”
“Yes,” Aurum nodded, “We’re childhood sweethearts. We knew each other since we were young, and w
e grew up together and went to the same school. When we became adults, we decided to be together.”

“So that’s how it is… How nice.”
Someone like Aurum was probably matched with a lady from a noble family that had a great backgroun
d.
Gale suddenly thought of Sam.
The two of them were also childhood sweethearts.
Yet, Shawn’s appearance had shattered that.
Under the setting sun, Aurum and Gale sat next to the
window as they chatted happily. There was a relaxed air around them.
The yellow sunlight fell on their bodies.
At that moment, at the entrance to the Wood Group
Headquarters, Shawn had his head lowered and a hand in his pocket as he walked out.
“Mr. Wood, that…” Fiona suddenly said, stopping and staring at the opposite side.
Shawn looked over, “Aurum Lefting?”
Fiona started to sweat, “Yes, it is, Mr. Wood.”
He coldly snorted as he immediately walked forward.
Gale was having a good conversation when a shadow suddenly loomed over her.
She looked up to meet Shawn’s eyes.
It was obvious that he was angry.
