Chapter 210

“Let’s just eat.’

Leslie gave up and started eating.

“Yeah, let’s not waste the food,” Aurelia said.

In the end, the two silently finished their steak.

Though it was delicious, the awkwardness was undeniably real.

Sharing a heart-shaped steak was such a cliché, and it left them both feeling utterly embarrassed.

After the meal, Aurelia and Leslie left the restaurant while the manager looked pointedly at them.

If they lingered for one more second, Aurelia felt like her face would burn up.

There was already a scorching sensation on her cheeks.

Leslie checked his phone for the time.

“The movie starts in an hour. Do you want to go somewhere?”

Aurelia shook her head. “No.”

Leslie hesitated and studied Aurelia.

Wasn’t she the one who had been in a relationship before?

Why did she seem unfamiliar with such matters?

In reality, Aurelia was not very experienced when it came to relationships.

Although she had been in a relationship for three years, she and Seth started as interns.

During the initial stages of their relationship, they earned a minimum wage while doing the work of several people.

They couldn’t afford to take a break for romance.

Later, when their jobs stabilized, Seth’s enthusiasm for her dwindled.

The most they did together was stroll through night markets after work.

Thinking back on her three years with Seth, Aurelia realized that the majority of their time was spent amidst the hustle and bustle of night markets.

The markets were filled with the smoke of barbecue stands, and the various cries of vendors.

Although lively, the two of them never seemed to have had a proper date.

Seth always said that she became less cute after becoming an official employee of her firm, that she spoke too properly and was boring.

He even said that chatting with her was not as interesting as it was to chat with his friends.

It seemed like a joke, but Aurelia remembered it clearly.

Lost in her thoughts, a woman wearing an apron intercepted Aurelia and Leslie.

“Sir, the flower shop is opening today, and you can buy a bouquet for only ten dollars.”

The woman handed over a packaged bouquet.

Three medium-sized flowers were arranged together and supplemented by green leaves, making it look vibrant and lovely.

Aurelia was about to accept it when she remembered she was with Leslie.

She waved her hand.

“No, thank yo…’

“I’ll get that one,” Leslie said.

By the time she turned around, a bouquet of sunflowers had already been handed to her.

“Is this for me?” she asked hesitantly.

“It’s just a bouquet of flowers.”

“Thank you.”

Aurelia smiled as she took the flowers, feeling her palms warming up.

Leslie maintained a nonchalant look and walked ahead.

The shop assistant approached Aurelia with a smile.

“The gentleman seems to like you a lot. He even picked out the only sunflower. This means that you are the only one in his eyes, just like the sunflower’s hidden meaning.”

Aurelia looked at Leslie’s upright figure and felt a bit dazed.

She didn’t want to expect too much, though.

After all, how could Leslie have feelings for her?

Holding the flowers, she caught up with him and they walked in silence to the movie theater.

Leslie’s expression darkened when he saw the title of the movie and Aurelia leaned closer to have a

look.

It was a horror film.

Linda had truly gone all out to ensure they developed feelings for one another.

There was a romantic comedy playing in the next hall, yet Linda sent them to watch a horror movie.

Leslie stared at the tickets.

“Did my mom purchase the tickets because of the title of the movie?”

“What is it?” Aurelia leaned closer and read the title aloud.

“Bound Forever?”

Why would a horror film be named in such a manner?

She felt an itchy sensation on top of her head and looked up to realize that her head was practically leaning against Leslie’s chest.

She immediately pulled away and changed the subject.

“Mr. Synder, are you afraid of horror movies?

He narrowed his eyes. “No.”

“Oh. I don’t think it’s that scary judging from the name,” she said.

However…
