Chapter 1429: Chapter 1429: Sweetheart, Has Anyone Else Ever Crawled Into Your Room?

Aurelia Shaw tugged at the corner of her clothes, "I have something very important to take care of lately, so I’ll be home just a bit late. I promise, I’ll definitely be home before 11, okay? Huh? Brother?"

Caspian Parker sighed, "Aurelia, I’m not doing this for myself..."

"I know, bro, I also don’t want to recognize that family."

Caspian sighed again, but he still agreed to Aurelia’s request, and she happily went to get ready.

At 7:30, Aurelia Shaw arrived at the nightlife spot.

"While you’re outside, order whatever you want to drink, put it on my tab."

Aurelia arranged for Liuzi, then entered the private room where Andrew Kennedy had been waiting.

They chatted casually for a few moments before each getting on with their own business.

Andrew had a lot of things to deal with, and Aurelia also had a lot on her plate, including endorsements and several new scripts sent to her by Sister Man that she needed to review.

Three hours passed, and Aurelia stood up, "I’m leaving."

Andrew nodded, "Shall I arrange to meet you in a few days?"

"No need to be so frequent, just follow what she told you, meet once a week, that way her plan can succeed."

Andrew frowned, "What plan?"

Aurelia gave a sly smile, "I’m not telling you."

When Aurelia got home, it was just after ten, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lying in bed, Aurelia pondered for a while, thinking about the upcoming plans.

The fish had already taken the bait; as long as nothing unexpected happened, the plan wouldn’t change.

With these thoughts, Aurelia fell asleep.

In her sleep, she felt a body pressing on her.

Aurelia jolted awake, startled, and noticed a shadow at the bedside, not sure when it had appeared.

The shadow was familiar, overlapping with a figure she had seen several times in nightmares.

A chill spread across Aurelia’s back.

Mason Nightshade originally meant to tease the girl, but seeing the change in Aurelia’s face, he frowned, anxious.

"Aurelia, did I scare you? It’s me, it’s me, everything’s fine... it’s okay now."

Mason hugged Aurelia, pulling her into his arms.

When his hand touched her, he felt her body shudder slightly.

She was genuinely frightened.

Mason felt deep regret.

Why did he make such a joke with her!

Aurelia was naturally prone to fear in the dark; in the past few years with him by her side, she had only just started to improve.

"I’m sorry..." Mason regretfully kissed the top of Aurelia’s head, "I won’t make such jokes anymore, okay?"

After a moment, Aurelia exhaled.

"It’s not your fault," Aurelia said softly, "I thought you were that person."

"That person?"

A dangerous tone entered the voice.

Mason raised his eyebrows, his long, narrow eyes slightly squinted.

He tightened his grip around Aurelia’s waist, pulling her onto his lap, lifting her chin with his long fingers, gazing deeply into her eyes, "Sweetheart, what other person has ever sneaked into your room?"

After a moment of silence, Mason’s voice turned dangerous and cold, "Alaric Wood?"

He should have just killed him!

Grayson Quinn had set a few smoke bombs, delaying him; it was the perfect chance to kill him outright.

A murderous intent filled Mason’s heart.

But this girl couldn’t know about this.

This girl believed that Alaric’s transformation was her fault. If she knew he was dead, she’d definitely blame herself.

Aurelia, unaware of Mason’s emotional turmoil, spoke honestly: "No one has ever sneaked into my room... I thought you were Ferryman.

In M Nation, Ferryman caught me and tried to threaten you. I’ve dreamed about him a few times since; he looks a lot like you. Ferryman is probably an alias... Mason, do you have any brothers?"
