759 Words
“What’s enough?” Aurora replied awkwardly.
But she was calculating in her mind. Why did Caldwell Elliott speak like this? Did he catch her doing something? After all, this man had keen insight.
Elliott’s cold eyes swept across Aurora and her black dress. He examined her carefully. But finally he took her hands.
"Come home with me."
Then, Caldwell Elliott held Aurora Foster’s hands and led her away.
At the moment Elliott held her hands, Aurora Foster broke down, his hands…
People were always impressed by Caldwell Elliott’s icy manners. He was as cold as an ice sculptor. Anyone who attempted to approach him would be frozen from within.
Nevertheless, to Aurora’s surprised, his hands were warm. This was wonderful.
Led by Caldwell Elliott, Aurora Foster followed him tamely. There were so many distant memories slowly emerging...
Six months ago, Aurora Foster was an indulgent princess. She was loved by her wealthy parents. She lived a life of privilege.
Everything has changed since the car accident.
One day, her mother was involved in a car accident on her way back from the airport. She survived but became a vegetable.
Before Aurora could come out from her grief, her father came back home with his mistress and his bastard daughter.
"Aurora, you are not the daughter of our Foster’s clan at all. You are a bastard daughter of your mother and some John Doe. I ask you to leave my house. From now on, the Foster’s clan has nothing to do with you.”
In those days, the distressed girl was wandering on the street. It was raining all the time. She fainted and she did not know when and where. She woke up in Caldwell Elliott’s villa.
"You will live here from now on. I’ve got your custody, and I will take care of you. Your food, your clothing, your shelter and your transportation, everything is my responsibility." That was the first sentence Elliott ever said to her.
This man was detached. He didn’t come back more than once a week. The servants took care of her. She lived a lavish life, as if she travelled back in time and returned to the point when her mother was still healthy.
But Aurora knew everything had changed.
In those days, all her school mates were laughing at her, teasing her, bullying her. Everyone excepted Lune Bright who stood by her side since then…
Maybe that's why she trusted Lune Bright so much. She believed that Lune Bright really regarded her as a friend. But in fact, she was just approaching Caldwell Elliott through her.
Another corruption in her life was Caldwell Elliott's excessive possessiveness and her obsession with Felix Lien. Much less, Lune Bright never stopped her attempts to stir up a fire between them.
"Where shall we go, young master? Hospital or villa? “The driver asked.
"Home."
Elliott cherished his words like gold, after saying this, he took out his laptop and resumed his work.
The driver looked at Aurora Foster, thinking that today seemed out of ordinary because this maiden did not quarrel with his young master.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the title on his computer screen.
In her past life, the most important thing for Aurora Foster was her freedom. She needed freedom because she wanted to go after Felix Lien. She was always fighting Caldwell Elliott for her freedom. She and Caldwell Elliott fought like Kilkenny cats, but she had no regrets. She believed that nothing could out weight true love.
Someone had said once, only two things are worthy of persuading, one is love. The other is money. Those who have none of it are pathetic losers.
In her last life, she put her stakes on love and suffered a disastrous defeat. In this life, she wanted to be a person who pursued wealth and freedom.
If you had money, you had options of poetry and dreams, you could start off whenever you want. If she could climb to a certain level maybe she would be in a position to be Elliott’s equal. She wouldn’t be limited by him anymore.
"Elliott, I feel very bored at home recently, can I join your jade travel plan? Would you mind taking me with you?" Aurora winked her big cute eyes.
In her fantasy, there were so many shining notes hovering around her. That’s exciting.
