"Sorry, sis!" He lowered his gaze, a shadow of sorrow over his face, "You are sick, why didn't you tell me?"
Aurelia ruffled his hair, "It's not a disease, just a hormonal imbalance. The doctor says I'm still young, can be treated with medicines. If worst comes to worst, I'll have a minor surgery, it's no big deal."
Avery's mood didn't improve, compared to his sister, he felt immature.
Evelyn sipped her juice, her gaze sweeping over Aurelia and Elowen.
Are they that close? Aurelia would even share something as private as uterine fibroids with Elowen? Does she really see her as a sister-in-law?
Not far away, Leopold sensed the unusual atmosphere here, catching a few key words, he held his forehead, pretending not to hear anything!
In the afternoon, Avery, Darcy and Gary went to play paintball.
Aurelia and Jenny went to the pick-your-own farm, just picked a few cherry tomatoes, when Elowen came over, inviting her to go fishing.
Arriving at the fishing area, she found the big boss was there, along with Evelyn, sitting next to him, fishing.
Elowen dragged her to the empty spot next to him.
Aurelia was a bit awkward. Her role as a sidekick was confirmed.
It seemed the drama of the big boss and his three women was about to unfold again!
Leopold glanced at her from the corner of his eye, his expression slightly unhappy.
She forced herself to smile, "Wow, Mr. Leopold, you've caught a lot of fish. You're quite the angler."
Flattery is always effective to ease an awkward situation.
But the big boss wasn't buying it, his face expressionless, cold as ice.
A cool breeze blew over, she shivered, quickly picked up the fishing rod and started fishing.
Better to stay silent.
