The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 52 I Love Him Too Much 

You’ve had too much to drink. Let’s leave the bar. Aurelia put down the drink in Nancy’s hand, helped her up, and prepared to leave. 

Nancy shook her head firmly, “I’m not leaving. I want to drink.” 

Seeing Nancy’s resolute attitude, Aurelia could only sit down. 

“Tell me, what’s going on? Shouldn’t you be at home playing the loving wife and mother at this hour?” Aurelia asked directly. 

Nancy’s eyes were somewhat red, giving the impression that she had been crying. 

“I no longer wish to be the loving wife and mother, Aurelia. It seems like Justin and I have some issues. He doesn’t seem to love me as much as he used to. I’m unsure if I’m overthinking, or if it’s because we’ve known each other for so long, that our marital relationship has made us keep a courteous distance. I could only share these words with you. If I were to tell my parents, they would think I’m being melodramatic. They y are quite satisfied with Justin as their son–in–law, always believing that I can be unreasonable at times. They say that once you’re married, it’s impossible for things to remain the same as they were during courtship. Auri, do you think Justin has stopped liking me?” Nancy asked. 

Aurelia had never seen Nancy so insecure before. 

The relationship between husband and wife needs to be nurtured. Have you two discussed this?” Aurelia 

asked. 

Nancy shook her head, a bitter smile on her face. “No. I’m afraid he might think I’m overthinking things.” 

Aurelia and Justin weren’t very familiar with each other. They had met a few times because of Nancy. Justin, like an elder brother, was very fond of Nancy. 

As for the specifics of how a married couple should interact after marriage, or whether the passion would always be there, Aurelia was uncertain. Her most extensive experience on the matter probably came from a few novels she had read back in university. 

However, the male and female protagonists in the novel were merely figments of the author’s imagination, and the plot was entirely fictional. It could not be used as a reference. 

“Perhaps it’s because I love him so much that Insecure I’m so insecure. Auri, sometimes I wonder, what would I do if one day he truly stopped liking me if he had another woman in his heart? Just thinking about it causes my heart to ache so much that I can’t bear to continue. I’ve always said that one should be able to let go as easily as they can hold on, but when it comes to myself, it’s so difficult.” Nancy’s tone was filled with self-disdain. 

Aurelia lifted her hand to glance at her wristwatch. It was seven in the evening. If they continued to drink like that, Nancy would inevitably end up drunk as a skunk. 

“Don’t overthink it for now. You’ve known each other since childhood. If there’s an issue, just have a proper discussion. Women are naturally prone to letting their imagination run wild, remember? You were the one who said that. Have you forgotten?” Aurelia put Nancy’s wine back down. “Let’s go. I’ll take you out 

to see the rain.“– 

“Rain? I refuse to look at it. It’s because I saw it raining this afternoon that my mood soured. I don’t want to uetch the win. Terk but etsy hare snd drink” Nancy was thenuinur a ranınım and reficine ta leque

Just at that moment, Nancy’s phone rang 

When Nancy saw it was Justin, she was momentarily lost in a daze. 

Perhaps, having heard no response, Justin hung up. 

After that, the phone rang again. 

It was still Justin calling. 

Aurelia answered the phone and said, “Hello, Mr. Hoffman. This is Aurelia.” 

Flusheds 

“Aurelia? Why are you answering the phone? Is Nancy there?” Justin’s tone was somewhat surprised. 

“We’re at Eclipse Bar,” replied Aurelia. 

“Wait for me. I’m going to pick her up.” 

“All right.” 

After hanging up the phone, Aurelia looked at the dazed Nancy. “He said he’s coming to pick you up.” 

Judging from Justin’s tone over the phone, he seemed quite worried about Nancy. 

Nancy’s gaze was somewhat evasive. “He’s back from Huxville? So, when I called him this afternoon and he didn’t answer, was it because he was on the plane?” 

Reflecting on her somewhat unreasonable behavior while drinking, Nancy felt somewhat embarrassed. 

During this period, for some unknown reason, she was constantly plagued by insecurity. 

At the time of their marriage, Justin had promised her that he would treat her well for the rest of their lives. Their love story, one of childhood sweethearts, had been the envy and blessing of many. She knew she should believe in him. 

Aurelia laughed upon hearing that. “So, you came to the bar to drown your sorrows just because the person you called didn’t answer?” 

Nancy felt somewhat ashamed. 

“It seems I’ve sobered up. Should we wait at the bar entrance?” Nancy was filled with regret. 

Aurelia disliked the smoky and chaotic atmosphere of the bar, so she supported Nancy as they left. 

In the corner of the bar, Aaron and Spencer were enjoying their drinks. 

Glancing up, they saw Aurelia and another girl they didn’t recognize leaving the bar. 

“Aurelia? Why is she at a bar? I tried calling her earlier, but she didn’t pick up any of my calls. I need to go after her and find out what’s going on.” Spencer stood up and immediately went after her. 

Aaron also went along with him. Recently, a lot of things have been happening at home, and no one has been able to get in touch with Aurelia, which has caused Mom to fall ill these past few days. 

With that in mind. Aaron wore a olnemu vnreccion Why must durelia ho aur citter!

Finished. 

When the two of them rushed out, Nancy was just being whisked away by the arriving Justin, while Aurelia was also heading toward her own c 

After taking just a few steps out, Aurelia was blocked by somebody. 

Initially, Aurelia assumed it was just a drunkard from the bar, but when she saw that it was Aaron and. Spencer, her face turned cold. 

“Aurelia, you’re getting worse and worse. First, you moved out of the house, and now you’re a kept woman. Can’t you do something that we can be proud of? Come home with me now,” Spencer said, grabbing Aurelia’s hand and attempting to leave. 

He was genuinely afraid that one day the media would uncover his sibling relationship with Aurelia, and then expose the fact that Aurelia was a kept woman and wrongfully accused her own boyfriend. He knew that such a scandal would undoubtedly impact his acting career. 

With a stern expression, Aaron said. “First, go home and apologize to Mom and Dad. Then, invite Mr. Zeller to our house. We can’t allow your indecent relationship with him.” 

Listening to them repeatedly calling her a kept woman accusing Gordon, Aurelia sneered. 

Under Spencer’s control, her hand flipped over, while her other hand gripped the palm of Spencer’s hand. 

Spencer shouted, “What are you doing?” 

He didn’t know where he was pinched, but the sudden pain made stars dance before his eyes. 

“I should be asking you that question. What are you trying to do?” Aurelia asked without any expression. 

She had always tried her best to please those two brothers of hers. Knowing that Aaron had some neck issues, she personally made a traditional medicinal pillow for him. She even taught Aaron some exercises to alleviate his neck problems. However, Aaron tossed the pillow she gifted him into the storage room, not even sparing it a glance. 

There was also Spencer. Due to his frequent late–night filming, she made a herbal tea bag for Charlie and gave one to Spencer. At the time, Spencer showed clear distaste and promptly handed it off to a housekeeper at home. 

They, indeed, had a knack for trampling all over one’s sincerity. 

Not far away, a car happened to pass by the entrance of Eclipse Bar. 

Sitting in the car, Matthew had a slight smell of alcohol on him and was nursing a mild headache. As he was pressing his temple with his index finger to alleviate the pain, Gordon suddenly exclaimed, “Ms. 

Shaw!” 

Hearing that, Matthew looked over. 

He then saw Aurelia by the roadside. She was being glared at by two men standing in front of her. They looked at Aurelia as if she was some kind of a scourge that they couldn’t dare to approach. Their disdain for her was palpable.
