Chapter 35: Heart flutters
The afternoon wind caressed the streets, gently rolling the yellow leaves from the trees down, looking from afar like the fading rain of autumn.
Aurora smiled softly and sang a song while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
– Time passes really quickly. Samson is about to return to the forest.
Aurora whispered in a sigh and then slowly drove across the intersection, straight to the house with the gate covered with roses.
Every time the last months of the year approach, she feels guilty because the promise she made to her parents has not yet been fulfilled.
When Aurora stopped the car in front of the gate, the handsome vampire had just returned, in his hands were bags of food just bought from the supermarket.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
He quickly unlocked the gate and waved his hand signaling her to turn into the yard.
– Here, the bank card, the password is the girl’s name, and the last two numbers of the year of your birth. Aurora pulled out a new bank card from her pocket and gave it to Samson as soon as she got out of the car.
– Thank you. This will be more convenient for Lucasta. Last time, because she didn’t bring much money, she had to humble herself and beg the stingy Jemaine. He smiled slightly when recalling his younger sister’s tattered appearance.
Although Samson invited Aurora to stay for dinner with him and Lucasta, she refused and just sat down to drink a glass of water and chat a few words.
Today, she was not in a good mood because she suddenly heard the stories of her female colleagues and suddenly remembered that she was old.
If she doesn’t quickly get married and have children, she’s afraid she’ll miss her mission.
– I plan to adopt a child and let that child replace me and continue to help you. Aurora took a sip of water and spoke.
– Aurora, you should live for yourself, don’t do things you don’t want to do because of me. From now on, I will take care of myself.
– In what way? Unless the curse is broken. Samson, I’m happy to worry and care about you. The thing is… I can’t find a good man.
The atmosphere in the house became quiet because both of them were silent and didn’t say anything.
Samson understands Aurora’s heart, but he doesn’t want her life to always follow his.
He wants her to be able to decide everything based on her preferences, just like Lucasta.
– The curse will never be broken. As long as the girls know I’m a vampire, they’ll run away immediately. Unless you and I love each other.
Samson’s pale smile made the afternoon even more gloomy. He slowly left the table, went to the kitchen, and prepared dinner for Lucasta.
Aurora sighed again, her eyes following his back. If she and he loved each other, everything would have been resolved smoothly a long time ago, and it wouldn’t have dragged on until now.
Samson is a perfect man in both appearance and personality, but she only considers him as a brother, a close friend and has no romantic feelings between men and women.
And she knew that he only considered her as a sister, without the same feelings as Eirlys or Lucasta.
– Lucasta…
– Impossible.
Samson interrupted Aurora because he understood what she was trying to say. This test he cannot perform on Lucasta.
Just watching a movie about vampires, the human girl was obsessed and wanted to buy a cross, and every night she hugged her pillow and ran to his room, knocking on the door, wanting to sleep with him.
If Lucasta knew she was living with a real vampire, he didn’t know what she would do, whether she fainted or was so scared that she became sick.
– I go here.
Aurora finished her glass of water and walked out the door. The cold wind blew into the yard, making her feel cold and empty. Autumn is almost over and winter is coming.
If she had one wish, she would like to be able to let go of Harvey’s image. That’s the only way to make her no longer sad.
The beautiful little house gradually became smaller in the rearview mirror and disappeared. The car continued to glide through the crowded streets and stopped in front of a pub.
Aurora did not know that as soon as she passed through the main door, a man quickly followed her.
– Cocktail Spritz Veneziano. She pulled up a chair and spoke to the bartender.
– Yes, please wait a moment, ma’am.
Looking at the young man’s skilled hands, Aurora smiled happily. This is her dream. However, her parents guided her to follow their path.
Sometimes standing in the laboratory, she held a test tube containing blood in her hand and thought she was preparing to create a delicious glass of wine.
– Look who’s here. After you left me, there was no one to pick you up, right? You’re thirty-six years old and still single, so you must be very sad, right?
The man said as he jumped onto the chair next to Aurora, shook his thighs, and looked at her with eyes full of lust.
Although Aurora is nearly forty years old, her body is still like a young woman’s, only a few wrinkles around her eyelids when she smiles reflect her age.
From the day she heard Harvey criticize her for wearing baggy clothes that covered her hot body, she also changed her fashion style.
– What about you? No girl wants to marry you either. When you tell others, you should look at yourself.
The man burst out laughing when he heard his ex-lover’s response to him.
He and she met each other through introductions from friends. The relationship hadn’t progressed much yet when he asked to sleep with her.
As a result, in less than a minute from the time he uttered that suggestion, he was immediately abandoned by her. Now that he remembers it, he still feels resentful.
– Women lined up waiting for my attention, but because I still wanted to be free, I didn’t get married. Today we meet again, it seems like it’s fate. So, do you want me to ease your loneliness? – He reached out and gently rubbed the hand of the person next to him and let out a seductive word.
Aurora smiled faintly, pushed his hand away, pointed straight at him, and cursed.
It seems that after ten years, his nature has not improved at all.
She didn’t understand why today when she went to relieve her sadness, she immediately met this bastard. If only she had met Harvey, it would have been better.
– No man pays attention to you and you’re still arrogant. He grabbed her hand and continued to tease her.
However, Aurora was not a weak girl. She used her strength to escape his hand and slapped him hard on his face.
The slap was quite strong, leaving her five long fingers imprinted on the white skin of the rich guy who only knew how to play and cause trouble.
– Damn it.
The moment the man raised his hand to hit her, a strong arm suddenly appeared, holding him back.
Aurora’s eyes widened in surprise because she didn’t expect Harvey to appear here. He should have been at home right now, right? He didn’t drink, so why did he come here?
– How dare you touch my woman?
Harvey hissed and pushed the man, causing him to fall to the floor. Even though his movements looked very gentle, only Aurora and that bastard knew how strong the force was.
Her cheeks suddenly turned pink and her whole body felt hot when she heard Harvey say she was his woman.
– Who is this? A gigolo? You’re old, so you have to spend money to have young men, right? Why don’t you accept me? I will give you both love and money.
As soon as the man crawled up, he quickly spoke up and immediately after that, he continued to receive a strong punch from the handsome vampire, causing blood to flow from his nose and flow all over his face.
He was in so much pain that he leaned on his hands and staggered to stand up.
Before he could open his mouth, Harvey threw Bonita’s business card in his face and told him to contact her to claim compensation for bandages and painkillers.
– Are you the president of Star Corporation? How can that be?
The man looked from the business card to Harvey. He had also heard that the top leader of a corporation that was nearly a thousand years old had unique silver hair and an extremely perfect appearance, but he really didn’t expect him to appear in places like this. Moreover, he is Aurora’s boyfriend.
Even his father, a famous businessman in the city, has never met this president because his movements are quite mysterious and he has no contact with the outside world.
While the man was surprised, Harvey took out his wallet, put money on the table, then grabbed Aurora’s hand and took her out of the pub.
He couldn’t believe that she had dated such a man. If she really married this bad guy, he would never set foot in her house again, otherwise, he was afraid that one day he would grab him and throw him out on the street when he heard the way that guy talked to her.
– Why are you here? Aurora pulled her hand back and asked.
– I saw you enter the bar, so I followed you to see how you were doing. If something sad happens, buy wine to take home and drink. Think about your own safety and that of other road users. He crossed his arms and leisurely lectured her.
– Are you about to become a police officer? Then you should stand here and catch everyone who’s about to leave the bar.
She pointed to a row of cars parked along the sidewalk, then quickly opened the car door, got in, pressed the accelerator pedal, and drove straight home.
She was used to his way of talking, so she didn’t feel angry at all. However, she did not want to argue with him on the street because it would attract unnecessary attention.
The corner of Aurora’s lips curled into a smile when she glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the luxury car following her. It seemed this guy also understood what she meant.
She thought he would turn the car in the opposite direction because this road was not convenient to go to his house.
When they arrived, Harvey did not drive into the yard but parked outside, along the wall. He didn’t mean to stay long because he had work to do.
Aurora was a little surprised and looked at him with wide eyes.
– Don’t look at me with those eyes, I just came to take blood for Maris. Harvey frowned and spoke slowly.
– It’s not the end of the month yet, right?
– She asked me to buy some things, so I wanted to bring a few more bottles of blood for her. I won’t go there early next month. Yesterday a big owl flew to the apartment and gave me paper, but I couldn’t hang all the bags in its beak, it would break its beak.
– So… please take me with you, I miss her.
– Okay, get ready, we’ll leave around eight o’clock.
The handsome guy nodded and followed Aurora into the house and sat on the sofa.
While waiting for her to shower and change clothes, he walked around the living room, looking at photos of her from childhood to adulthood.
Just now, he suddenly felt sad when he heard that bastard say that she was old and couldn’t find a man to rely on. More than anyone else, he knows he is the cause.
