The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 113 That Woman Looks Like You. 

Aurelia was stunned. 

She hadn’t had time to swallow the food in her mouth. 

Finished 

Somewhat bewildered, she asked, “Does cating spicy food during the pre–pregnancy period concern us?” 

Aren’t we just putting on a show to make Old Mrs. Quigley happy? 

“Have you thought about turning our marriage into a legal one, nullifying the three–year secret marriage agreement?” Matthew was direct. 

Aurelia choked suddenly. 

Her nose and mouth burned from the spicy chili, causing tears and mucus to flow uncontrollably. 

She awkwardly dabbed at herself with a nearby napkin. 

Matthew handed her a glass of water. 

Is she frightened? 

Aurelia was genuinely taken aback. “Mr. Quigley, are you joking?” 

“It’s not a joke. Matthew asserted firmly. 

Seeing Aurelia startled, Matthew took a sip of water before continuing calmly, “I don’t have time to adjust 

to living with other women. We’ve been getting along well lately and know each other enough.” 

“I don’t know you that well, and you don’t know me that well either. Have you thought this through?” 

Aurelia asked. 

Can a marriage without love last? 

She suddenly thought of her passionate youth with Curtis. So what? 

A marriage without love might not have many expectations, but maybe they could peacefully coexist for a lifetime. 

Plus, it would satisfy both families. 

After thinking it over, Aurelia found herself somewhat intrigued. 

“We can learn about each other in the future,” Matthew said with a smile. 

After days of careful deliberation, he didn’t mind spending his life with Aurelia. 

Everything else didn’t matter. 

Aurelia also laughed, her eyey’still glistening with tears from earlier. “Okay, let’s take our time getting to know each other in the future.” 

They reached an agreement.

After lunch, they went to the hospital to collect all the test reports. 

Finished 

Aurelia had been feeling a bit weak due to her previous blood donation. However, with ample rest, she would be able to recover. 

On the other hand, Matthew struggled with insomnia despite his fitness regimen and discipline. He also needed ample rest. 

The doctor assured them it wouldn’t affect their plans for children. 

However… 

After giving it considerable thought. Aurelia said to Matthew, “I’ve just graduated from university and started a new job. I’m not ready to be a mother yet.” 

She also wasn’t psychologically prepared for physical intimacy with him. 

“Yeah, no rush. We can let nature take its course. Matthew nodded. 

Upon reflection, the words he had spoken to her earlier were somewhat impulsive. 

“Xavier wants to meet you this weekend, the day after tomorrow. Are you free?” Aurelia felt unsettled for 

no reason. 

She found herself thinking of Xavier amidst her chaotic thoughts. 

“Sure, you can arrange it,” Matthew replied. 

Just then. Mabel called. 

Matthew answered her call. 

“Is it over? What did the doctor say?” 

Matthew glanced at Aurelia, who was clearly distracted. The decision he made today must have been quite a shock to her. 

“I’m still the same, as for Auri, she…” 

When Aurelia heard his deep voice gently uttering her name, she felt somewhat dazed. 

donated blood multiple times before and hasn’t rested properly. She needs time to recuperate.” 

Mabel was extremely worried, “Multiple blood donations? Did the doctor say how to take care of her body? You need to take good care of her regularly and wait a year or two before getting children. Auri’s health is the most important!” 

She had come up with this idea just to give them more time to be together. 

Children were not important ay’all. 

Matthew also saw through Mábel’s intentions. 

Both chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.

Aurelia was quietly listening on the side. 

She glanced at her watch. It was just two in the afternoon. 

It was still early, and she had taken the whole day off today. 

“Want to go soak in the hot spring and relax?” Matthew asked, looking down at Aurelia. 

Aurelia’s eyes lit up. “Sure.” 

Finished 

She had been doing restoration work for the past few days, sitting for hours on end, and was feeling quite tense. A soak in the hot spring would be perfect. 

As the two were about to get in the car, a vehicle had just pulled to a stop not far from them. 

A pair of mother and daughter stepped out of the car. 

Nancy, with her sharp eyes, spotted Matthew. 

Her eyes widened. 

That’s Matthew, right? Eh? There’s a woman in the passenger seat. 

Nancy couldn’t see her face, only the back, but even from the back, she didn’t look like Angela. 

Angela’s hair wasn’t that long. 

Moreover…. 

“Nancy, what are you looking at?” Nancy’s mother, Laura Burgess, asked. 

Nancy withdrew her gaze and shook her head at Laura. “It’s nothing. Let’s go, Mom. I’ve made an appointment with the doctor. 

Half an hour later, Nancy sat in the hallway, waiting for Laura to complete her check–up. 

She sent a message to Aurelia on WhatsApp. 

Nancy: I just brought my mom to the hospital for a check–up. Guess who I saw? I saw Matthew. Lately, I’ve been bumping into Matthew quite often. Ah, but that’s not the point. The point is, do you know what? I saw him sitting with a woman. The woman was in the passenger seat, and they seemed really close. I can smell an affair from a mile away! 

Nancy: And that woman wasn’t Angela! 

Aurelia was sitting in the passenger seat, looking out the window when she saw Nancy’s message. She almost dropped her phone in shock. 

Nancy would make a great paparazzo! 

Aurelia asked: Why do you think everyone is having an affair? 

She didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Matthew to Nancy, 

This was a bit tricky.

Chapter 113 That Woman Looks Like You 

Finished 

Did Nancy already see me and Matthew at the hospital? That shouldn’t be the case. Nancy is so impulsive and can’t keep secrets. If she had seen me and Matthew, she would have rushed over to say hello, not described me and Matthew as having an affair now. 

Nancy replied: Because Matthew has never been seen with a woman in public. I even once thought Matthew might like men. But now I’ve seen him with women twice recently. It’s clear he’s had a change of heart. And the woman from today, from the back, she had a killer figure! 

Aurelia couldn’t help but laugh at being complimented on her figure by Nancy. She replied: Is her figure really that good? 

Nancy: Of course. I don’t normally see figures that I find good. You’re one of the few. But… 

Aurelia: But what? 

Nancy: Now that I think about it, that woman just now had a figure very similar to yours. If I didn’t know you and Matthew didn’t know each other, I would have thought that woman was you! 

Aurelia couldn’t help but twitch her mouth as she looked over the chat history between the two. 

Luckily, Nancy didn’t press further and concluded: I need to accompany my mom for her check–up now. Let’s meet in a couple of days. Come over to my house. My husband is going on a business trip tomorrow. 

Aurelia: Sure. 

At the hot spring resort, Matthew drove straight to the villa where he had previously stayed. 

Not far behind, a Lincoln limousine followed him. 

Inside were several young men and women. 

One of them pointed at the car in front and said, “If I’m not mistaken, that’s Matthew’s car. There seems to be a woman with him.“. 

“Matthew?” Upon hearing Matthew’s name, Spencer immediately craned his neck to look ahead.
