Chapter 1421: Chapter 1421: He Wants a Child

"I’m sorry, Aurelia, I..." Mia Lawson began to cry.

She was smoking, and if the stage manager found out, she definitely couldn’t keep the job.

But she couldn’t go against her conscience.

"I... I’ll go and tell the stage manager myself, I’ll go online and clarify."

Aurelia Shaw smiled, "Silly girl, what’s the use of talking? Online clarifications need heat, and most people only want to believe what they see and guess. When enough people say it’s true, it becomes true, let alone someone manipulating things behind the scenes."

Mia Lawson’s eyes widened.

Aurelia comfortingly patted Mia’s shoulder, "I’m fine."

Aurelia squinted slightly, thinking Clara Philips played her move well, staying clear of any taint herself.

In the evening, Mason Nightshade climbed through the window into Aurelia’s room again.

He took off his shoes, got onto the bed, and hugged Aurelia, "Worried?"

Aurelia sat cross-legged, her long, wet hair hanging down her back, her eyes slightly downcast, deep in thought.

Mason took a towel and started drying her hair.

"I’m a bit worried, this matter is thorny. If I respond now, others will only think I’m guilty, and it’ll become another thing to tarnish me later on..." Aurelia paused as she spoke.

"My reputation isn’t great, but who wants so many black marks on themselves?"

Aurelia spoke with indignation, "I want to be a competent actress, but every day I’m trending because of scandals, seeking attention. What’s this about? Netizens all say I climbed up by exploiting my husband and scandals!"

Mason chuckled lightly, "What’s wrong with relying on your husband? I’m more reliable than anyone else’s support, clinging to me guarantees you a lifetime free from worry, allowing you to walk all over the entertainment industry without anyone daring to bully you."

Aurelia rolled her eyes, "Mr. Nightshade, I think I must remind you once again, we’re officially divorced, you’re not my husband!"

Mason pinched her, "Stupid girl, ungrateful, a thankless wolf, you forgot how much I cherished you before, and now divorced, you’re raising another man outside."

Aurelia’s expression darkened.

She actually didn’t like Mason speaking of Alaric Wood like that.

Inside, she felt guilty towards Alaric.

"Do you want me to handle this matter?" Mason bit on her earlobe.

He understood Aurelia, knowing she could handle these matters, and it’d make him happy to help his little woman deal with annoying flies if she wanted him to.

Mason always wanted to cultivate Aurelia; he wasn’t afraid of her being ruthless, just of her suffering.

Letting others bully her would be foolish.

Compared to the her from a past life, Mason preferred the current Aurelia.

This current Aurelia was the one he genuinely loved deeply.

Mason wrapped his arms around Aurelia’s waist and laid her on the bed.

After a while of entanglement, Aurelia fell asleep exhausted.

Mason’s face lay shrouded in the night, his eyes deep and dark, his long fingers caressing Aurelia’s flat belly, frowning in thought, yet he smiled helplessly.

He kissed Aurelia, then Mason also fell asleep.

At dawn, before the sky was light, Mason climbed out through the window and left.

Not far from the door, a black car was parked on the roadside, waiting for him. Mason got in the car, and Gustavo Yates reported the situation.

"We’ve caught someone connected to Vespera Bennett, and they’ve been detained. Should we start the interrogation immediately?" Gustavo asked.

"Go back to the villa first." Mason rested his long legs on the chair, closed his eyes, and took a rest.

Gustavo stole a few glances at Mason, wondering how late the boss had been up with the Young Madam last night? After a whole night’s sleep, he still looked tired.

Mason kicked the chair, "Just focus on driving, where are you looking?!"
