Aurelia shot her a sidelong glance, her voice tinged with a hint of indifference, "Sheryl, stop joking. Arnold's affairs are his own, and I am just his brother’s wife, so I have no place to meddle."
Sheryl smirked, "If Arnold could let you go, he wouldn't have called off the wedding."
"If Arnold hadn't let me go, he wouldn't have married either. We are just siblings now. Sheryl, let's not bring up the past anymore."
Aurelia knew she was doing this on purpose, still holding onto old grudges.
Leopold descended the staircase, his arm naturally falling over her shoulder. His gaze met Sheryl's, cold as ice, "Since when did you become so tactless, Sheryl?"
Sheryl shivered, fearful of his wrath, and quickly plastered a smile on her face, "I was just joking."
"I don't appreciate such jokes. I don't want to hear them again." He left her with those cold words and led Aurelia upstairs.
Sheryl hummed to herself in frustration. She didn't believe that Aurelia could stay in favor forever.
Leopold would tire of her eventually. The Stirling men were known for their fleeting affections.
Lisa forced a smile, her lips barely moving, "Sheryl, whenever you have time, join me for afternoon tea at my place."
"Sure." Sheryl nodded.
The two had seemingly already allied.
Once in her room, Aurelia got herself a glass of water and took a seat by the window.
"Everyone thinks Arnold called off his wedding because of me. How could I possibly have that much influence over him?" Aurelia murmured.
Leopold knew clearly that Arnold hadn't given up on her, and he was probably already arguing with Lisa about a divorce. But divorce wasn't something he could just decide on a whim.
This marriage was carefully planned by some, so how could they just let him dissolve it? Who knew what tricks they would pull to stop him?
