Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth
Chapter 325

Chapter 325 

Leslie looked at the dark–colored snacks. An ominous feeling rose within him, especially when he saw Aurelia’s eyes squinting. 

He used to think Aurelia’s smile was simple and was her best disguise. But after spending time together, he realized Aurelia was actually very bad at disguising her feelings. 

When embarrassed, she would lower her head, and her eyes would wander like many other girls. 

But now, her eyes were squinting in laughter. It was either fake or mischievous. 

Still, Leslie didn’t expose her. 

He accepted the snack she offered and popped it into his mouth. His face instantly crinkled up at its sourness. 

Aurelia covered her mouth and chuckled. 

“Mr. Synder, I didn’t know you could have so many expressions. Haha… Mm!” 

Leslie fed her a sour treat amid her amusement, and her teeth ached from how tart it was. 

Why did she think this was delicious when she was a kid? 

The two of them made painful expressions together, then drank half a glass of cola before recovering. 

Leslie curved his lips. 

Aurelia observed his gentle smile and felt slightly taken aback. 

“Mr. Synder, you’re really attractive.” 

Leslie suppressed his smile. 

“Is it appropriate to use that word on men?” 

Aurelia pondered. 

“The word ‘handsome‘ isn’t good enough though, is it?” 

Leslie couldn’t help but feel flattered and relaxed at her words. 

He pointed to the snacks before him. 

“Why did you buy so many snacks meant for children?” 

Aurelia paused and pursed her lips. 

“My dad used to buy them for me. When I just graduated, I sent over 50 resumes but received no response. Feeling down, my dad comforted me like a child and bought a lot of snacks from my childhood. 

“The next day, I received an interview invitation from Seacester and was hired When I first started working, I felt particularly out of place like I was being forced to do something I didn’t want to do. But since I had no other strengths, I could only adapt. My dad would keep buying these snacks to comfort me, and the following day would always go smoothly. 

“I guess I’ve been having such a tough time lately because I forgot to buy myself these snacks. Later on, my dad passed away, and I was the one who’d buy these things. It gradually became a habit–some sort of belief. Now that you’ve eaten my snacks, your work will surely go smoothly tomorrow.” 

With that, Aurelia raised her glass and drank heartily. 

Leslie hesitated momentarily and listened to Aurelia talk about her father with a smile. 

He thought of his own father, and his mood instantly soured. 

He lowered his gaze. 

“It’s not real.” 

Aurelia wasn’t offended and retorted, “Who says it isn’t real? Not everyone gets their wishes after praying, but they pray daily regardless. My dad was very spiritual. I asked him to bless Seth for a smooth career in the past, and Seth almost became a supervisor from a junior employee role. I simply stopped asking my dad to watch over him later on.” 

Leslie set the cup down and glanced at her. 

“Your dad sure is busy. He has to watch over you and others as well.” 

“Well… I guess I won’t ask him to watch over you today, 

then. 

Aurelia pouted. 

Leslie was slightly amused by the fact that he was spending so much time discussing such 

matters with another person. 

The two continued to chat late into the night, both feeling relaxed. 

“Aurelia, the deal tomorrow is worth 70 million. If your dad really is that powerful, I will 

let you have the entire commission if I succeed,” he said. 

“Huh? I don’t think my dad is capable of that. I don’t think I’ve ever offered him anything worth a million at all. So this wish is a bit too hard for a ghost to accomplish,‘ she said with resignation. 

Leslie burst into laughter, his eyes squinting most enticingly. 

Aurelia removed a ring from her necklace and handed it to Leslie. 

“This belonged to my dad. You bought me a ring, and I feel I should give something back. Since this is a matter of my dad’s honor, I will give this to you in the hope that he will watch over you. 

Aurelia regretted it slightly shortly after handing the ring over. 

Although the ring was made of gold, it had a simple design, and there were even scratches on it. 

What if Leslie didn’t want it? 

After all, no one young would prefer a gold ring. 

Just as she was about to change her mind, he accepted the ring and said, 

Thank you.”
