The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 115 It Must Be Just A Coincidence 

Aurelia shook her head. “Ah, no, I’m not tired.” 

She hesitated about whether to confirm what she had just heard. 

The sound had come from the woods, making it unclear. 

There were many people in Jacaster with the surname Hoffman.‘

Since her reincarnation, she had gained a new understanding of human nature and had become cautious about emotions,

It could be possible. 

She cared a lot about Nancy and didn’t want her to go through the same betrayal she had experienced, which felt as painful as being skinned alive. 

“Did it scare you?” Matthew asked again. 

He knew that recently Justin had been getting close to his secretary and had visited this place a few times. 

He didn’t expect Justin to bring someone here to fool around outdoors this time. 

If Justin continued this way, Matthew believed he would regret it deeply. 

“No. I just regret not going in to see,” Aurelia accidentally voiced her thoughts. 

Catching them red–handed would confirm if it was Justin. 

Matthew lowered his head, his deep eyes gazing at Aurelia. His voice was low and seductive, “You’re quite bold, huh? Wondering what it’s like to have sex in the woods?” 

As he spoke, he tugged at his tie. 

His words seemed to carry a spark, igniting his throat while causing a slight itch and dryness. 

His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. 

Aurelia looked up and noticed his Adam’s apple moving. 

The man standing before her was undeniably the epitome of male attractiveness. Even his Adam’s apple exuded a certain sexiness. 

Her cheeks flushed, and she said boldly, “Don’t get any ideas, Mr. Quigley. My advice is, don’t try it. There are caterpillars in the trees. When the branches shake, they might fall on you. In summer, the woods are full of mosquitoes, and any exposed skin will be bitten. Plus, you might get caught by onlookers.” 

Matthew’s lips twitched. 

Just a moment ago, he thought she was as innocent as a high school teenager. 

Now, she was like a mischievous witch.

Two hours later, around seven o’clock, the two returned to the hot spring resort, sweaty from playing golf. 

The staff brought over dinner and clothes. 

It wasn’t ideal to soak in the hot spring immediately after eating. 

Aurelia glanced at Matthew, who was in the middle of a video conference and took her phone outside. 

She had eaten too much and needed to walk off the discomfort… 

She left Matthew a message on WhatsApp. 

It was quieter at night. 

She took a different route for her stroll. 

Walking along the path casually, she started chatting with Nancy. 

“How’s your mom’s health check?” Aurelia asked. 

Nancy was bored at home. “Her usual old issues. She used to drink and skip meals for work, so now she gets stomachaches if she eats too much.” 

“Are you home alone?” 

“Exactly, my husband had a lot on his plate at work today. He also has an international video conference tonight and has to sleep at the office. My poor hubby, working so hard for our family and our future baby’s milk money. I feel so sorry for him.” Nancy’s voice was filled with affection and pity for Justin. 

Aurelia gripped her phone tighter. What a coincidence. 

“I thought about bringing him some soup to warm him up, but he didn’t reply when I asked how busy he was. He must still be in the meeting. If I went, I’d just disturb him, so I dropped the idea.” 

“Oh. I forgot to tell you, Justin has a new secretary, a real beauty. But not as pretty as you. Our Auri is the prettiest, Nancy added. 

Secretary? 

Aurelia thought of the voices in the woods calling out to “Mr. Hoffman” and about stockings. It seemed like an employer–employee relationship. 

“Auri, why are you so quiet?” Nancy asked. 

“I was just listening to you. I think you should occasionally surprise him with some warmth. It might. motivate him to work even harder! Aurelia couldn’t share her suspicions. 

If it was just a coincidence, it would be better. Nancy and Justin had a solid relationship. 

Nancy brightened up. “You’re right. I should be a supportive wife. I’ll go to our favorite restaurant and bring him some takeout as a surprise for him.” 

Last time, when she brought him the hospital check–up report, he was both surprised and delighted. She hadn’t thought much of it before.

In a marriage, it couldn’t just always be one person sacrificing the time. 

He’s going on a business trip tomorrow, so having a romantic office encounter tonight could be exciting! 

Nancy touched her flaming cheeks. 

She reached for the condoms on her nightstand and then decided against it. 

They were trying for a baby, so there was no need for protection,

She knew his company had rooms on the top floor, where he sometimes rested when he had international meetings. 

She had always wanted to try that since their dating days but had forgotten. 

“Goodbye, Babe. I’m heading out now!” 

Aurelia looked at her phone, recalling the conversation she had overheard in the woods. 

The man really sounded like Justin. 

She hoped she was wrong and just overthinking it. 

When Matthew finished his video conference and didn’t see Aurelia, he noticed her message on WhatsApp. 

He replied: My video conference had ended. 

Then, he went straight upstairs to take a shower. 

He wasn’t worried about Aurelia encountering any danger at the hot spring resort, as the security would be patrolling at this time. 

Moreover, anyone who visited the resort had to register their identity. 

Aurelia received Matthew’s message and headed back. 

She hadn’t wandered far and quickly returned to the resort. 

Not seeing Matthew anywhere, she assumed he was already soaking in the hot spring. 

She picked up the swimsuit the staff had brought and went upstairs. 

Upon reaching the bathroom, she pushed the door open and walked in. 

She was in such a hurry that she had broken a sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable. 

She didn’t notice Matthew stepping out of the shower. 

Matthew was holding a towel, drying his hair as he emerged. He was not yet wrapped in his bath towel. Upon seeing Aurelia, who was half undressed, he broke the silence. “You…” 

Hearing his voice, Aurelia felt a tingle on her scalp.

His flawless physique and handsome face were on full display, with water droplets rolling down from his 

chest… 

Aurelia knew Matthew had a good body, but she hadn’t expected it to be this good. 

She swallowed involuntarily. 

“Enjoying the view?” 

Matthew tossed the towel aside, leisurely wrapping a bath towel around his narrow waist. He then took a few steps toward her. 

Aurelia instinctively stepped back, stunned by what she had just seen. “L…” 

It’s quite impressive. 

He leaned down to whisper in her ear, his voice seductive, “Being my wife isn’t a bad deal, Aurelia.” 

Aurelia was completely taken aback by Matthew’s words. 

Swallowing hard, she replied, “Being my husband isn’t a bad deal either, Matthew.” 

Judging by appearances alone, she believed they were both getting a good deal. 

However, she was well aware that he didn’t like her, and that there was no room for romance between 

them.
