Laura chuckled, “You have to nurse the babies, darling. Babies need breast milk, it's important for their health.” Aurelia took a deep, silent breath. Was her ex-husband planning to drag her back just to nurse their children? “I might not... not be able to produce milk.” “Don’t worry, | have ways to help with that. | guarantee you'll have plenty of milk.” Laura reassured her with a smile.
“Oh,” Aurelia responded, her back breaking out in a cold sweat as she quickly dug into her food.
A maiden like her, not only having children but also nursing? How tragic was that? How would she ever marry again? Leopold's gaze drifted towards her chest involuntarily.
It seemed to have grown fuller, threatening to spill out as she bent forward.
He instantly felt his body get tense, his blood heating up.

Just as they finished their meal, they heard the doorbell ring.
Aurelia checked the video monitor and was surprised to see her brother.
“Avery, what brings you here?” “I just had dinner with some old friends nearby and thought I'd drop by since your place is close.” Avery explained.
Aurelia was nervous, opening the apartment building's door for him.
“I'm on the 12th floor, you can ask the security guard to press the floor button for you.” After ending the call, she quickly rushed to Leopold, “My brother is here, could you please hide in the room?” Leopold was left speechless and helpless.
Being in a secret marriage had its drawbacks, as he was forced to hide like a thief.
With a hint of annoyance, he retreated into the room, locking the door behind him.
As soon as Avery walked in, he grinned like a child, “Sis, are you surprised to see me?” Aurelia gave him a wry smile, the shock slightly outweighing the joy.
“In the future, you should call me before coming. This apartment is a shared rental, we have a rule that we need to inform each other when we have guests.” “Oh,” Avery scratched his head, “why don’t you live alone?” “The rent in the city center is high, sharing the rent helps save money.” Aurella got him a glass of orange. juice.
Laura brought in a fruit platter.
Aurelia gave her a knowing look before introducing her, “This is Laura, my landlord.” Avery quickly greeted her, “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Laura.” Laura smiled, “Aurelia, your brother really looks like you.” “Yeah, many people think we're twins.” Aurelia laughed.

Avery stood up and looked around, “Wow, sis, your apartment is huge! Four bedrooms, two living rooms, and even a rooftop garden.” Aurelia stuck out her tongue, regardless of how big it was, she couldn't afford it.
“Isn't that the benefit of shared rentals? Less money, more space.” When they reached Leopold's room, she quickly made a “shush” gesture, “My roommate is working inside, let's keep our voices down so we don't disturb him.” “Oh,” Avery nodded.
Inside his room, Leopold couldn’t help but chuckle at her words.
Truth be told, his secretive wife had some acting talent. She was great at lying without batting an eye.
Back in the living room, Aurelia peeled an orange for her brother, “How’s the preparation for tomorrow’s variety show?” “The first episode is an improv, no problem for me at all.” Avery boasted confidently.
Aurelia patted his shoulder and gave him a sly smile, “Make sure to be lively on set, it'll get you more camera time. But don't overdo it, you don’t want to leave a bad impression on the audience.” “I got it.” Avery scratched his head.
His sister was smart and beautiful, why was her love life so rocky?
