The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 117 I Never Found You Old 

Matthew lifted his eyes at the sound and was greeted by an enticing sight. 

The woman before him had skin so pale it seemed to glow. 

Her gaze was like that of an innocent seductress, unaware of her own allure. 

The water’s shimmer accentuated her figure. 

Any other man in his place might have felt a criminal impulse. Matthew never denied that Aurelia was his type. Her every move easily stirred his emotions. 

Aurelia noticed Matthew’s lingering gaze and felt a bit puzzled. 

Is there something wrong with my outfit? 

She had checked in the mirror before coming out. The design was simple, and the color wasn’t one she wore often, but it shouldn’t be that bad. 

“Does it look bad?” she asked. 

Matthew’s throat felt a bit dry. He took a sip of wine to compose himself and replied, “It’s fine.” 

Aurelia found a comfortable spot to sit down and then looked earnestly at Matthew. “Can we talk now?” 

Matthew stared into her eyes, clear and earnest as those of an obedient child, and felt his throat tighten again. “Don’t look at me like that.” 

“What?” Aurelia was taken aback. How am I looking at him? Isn’t this just a normal look for a conversation? 

“That look makes me want to have sex with you, Matthew said bluntly. 

Aurelia’s eyes widened in shock. “You misunderstood. I was definitely not trying to seduce you.” 

In all honesty, she might know many things, but seducing someone with a look was not one of them. 

It wasn’t that she couldn’t do it. 

She just hadn’t done it before. 

One look could make a normally composed Matthew want to sleep with her? He had accused her wrongly. 

“What do you want to talk about?” Matthew took another sip of his wine. 

Aurelia saw another glass of wine nearby and took a sip herself, gathering courage. “We just agreed to be a real couple this afternoon. Isn’t it too impulsive to be in bed together tonight? 

Matthew raised an eyebrow. 

Aurelia continued, “I’m afraid you’ll regret this.” 

Matthew rose to his feet and approached her. He sat down close right next to her. “Why do you think I would regret it?”

“You’re several years older than me and have never had any scandals. Old Mrs. Quigley said you never even had a girlfriend. In such a situation, according to novel logic, you must have an unattainable first crush. If she comes back looking for you, you’ll regret betraying her and take it out on me. Then I’ll be the one being taken for a ride.” 

Aurelia voiced the worries that she had while taking a shower earlier. 

Being a real couple with Matthew wasn’t a loss, but she didn’t want to be played. 

Matthew laughed. “Do you believe in the passionate, happy–ending love stories in novels?” 

A long time ago, she did. 

Aurelia shook her head. 

“I’ll give you a few days to adjust,” Matthew said softly. 

Aurelia blinked. “L…” 

“Do you dislike me for being older?” Matthew remembered Aurelia mentioning that he was several years her senior. 

“Absolutely not!” Aurelia stood up, feeling emotional. “That’s not what I meant.” 

The moment she stood up, she stepped on a slippery stone, losing her balance and falling forward. 

Quick and precise, she fell into a strong embrace. 

Matthew’s hands landed on her back, and Aurelia ended up sitting on his lap, her body pressed tightly against his. 

His muscles were prominent, and the thin swimsuit offered no barrier. She couldn’t tell if it was the hot spring or his body that was so hot 

Aurelia’s face turned red. “I…” 

Matthew suddenly pressed her head down, landing a deep kiss that didn’t allow her to retreat. 

Aurelia’s mind suddenly went blank. 

Before she knew it, Matthew had changed her position, making her straddle him. 

With one hand clutching her head, he wrapped his other arm around her waist. 

Aurelia felt like a helpless lamb awaiting slaughter, unable to move. 

She had never experienced such a wild and domineering kiss. 

When she was finally released, her breathing was erratic and uneven. 

She was just about to run out of breath! 

His hand, still on her head, gently smoothed her hair. His voice was low and teasing, filled with a sense of satisfaction. “Do you still think I’m old?”

If she did, he could make her feel it in bed. 

Finished 

Aurelia was left dazed and slightly frightened by the kiss. It took her a while to catch her breath before she could speak. “I swe think you’re old.” 

I don’t 

“Okay, I’ll believe you this time.” Matthew’s voice was somehow even deeper than before. 

Aurelia tried to stand up, only to realize how embarrassing her current position was. 

“Don’t move.” Matthew said in a deep voice. 

Aurelia felt aggrieved. “I’m not doing it on purpose. Sitting like this is uncomfortable.” 

She understood the male and female anatomy and had secretly watched some erotic movies with her university roommates. 

This position was very uncomfortable. 

“I’m not comfortable either.” Matthew’s voice was even deeper. 

Faced with a woman who not only matched his aesthetic ideals but also stirred his physical desires, he found himself struggling to maintain control. 

Aurelia was close to tears. “Then let go of me.” 

If he released his hand around her waist, she would be able to stand up. 

His hands felt like they were on fire, burning her waist. 

Looking at Aurelia’s slightly swollen lips from his kiss, Matthew swallowed hard and released his hand. from her waist. 

Aurelia quickly stood up, like escaping a beast. 

She walked straight out of the hot spring pool. 

“I… I’m tired. I’m going to shower and rest. See you tomorrow!” 

Without looking back at Matthew, Aurelia opened the door and went into the mansion, her back looking like she was fleeing from a disaster. 

Matthew laughed softly, his eyes darkening as he realized he had been impulsive.. 

Soaking in the hot spring for too long and the alcohol made him lose his clarity. 

He raised a hand to his forehead and stood up. 

Aurelia went upstairs and directly into the shower, washing off the hot spring water. 

After changing clothes, she returned to her room, feeling scattered and distracted. 

Her mind was filled with the scenes that had just unfolded. 

It was too overwhelming!

Her phone chimed softly, signaling the arrival of a new message on WhatsApp. 

She picked up her phone, trying to calm down. 

The private investigator had sent photos and even a few videos, which she reviewed one by one. 

Finished 

They captured Melanie consuming what seemed to be drugs and getting intimate with a man at the bar. 

However, it was still unclear if the small jelly beans were indeed drugs. 

The private investigator told her: I’ll continue investigating to gather concrete evidence. 

Aurelia replied with a simple “Okay” and then exited the chat. 

She saw an unread message from Nancy and opened it. 

What a coincidence. Justin wasn’t at the office. He was planning to go on a business trip tomorrow but left today 

instead?
