Chapter 1247: Tsundere Men Are the Hardest to Coax
Emily Stewart is an orphan, staying at her aunt’s house. Her aunt’s family didn’t treat her well and made her drop out of school at a young age, saying they couldn’t afford her education. Emily had no choice but to work to earn her own tuition. One winter day, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl fainted from hunger by the roadside, and it was Nolan Lawson who saved her. He shared all the snacks he had with her. Later, seeing her often alone without friends, he began to tease her, and gradually, their relationship became more familiar.
For Emily Stewart, the most important thing about Nolan Lawson wasn’t that he saved her, but that he was there for her during her loneliest and most difficult times.
It’s a cliché story, but only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand the warmth it brought them at the time.
Aurelia Shaw fell asleep while watching.
She dreamed, in a hazy slumber, of a tall man standing beside her, looking down at her. She couldn’t clearly see his face, but she could feel his cold, dark gaze piercing directly at her.
Aurelia Shaw woke up with a start, the familiar scent on her nose. Her tense heart relaxed instantly. She found a comfortable position to continue sleeping and murmured, "I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
"Mm, sleep," said the other person tenderly.
Mason Nightshade placed Aurelia Shaw on the bed, kissed her forehead, and gazed at her for a long time.
...
The next day, Aurelia Shaw woke up, turned over, and remembered something, touching her forehead. She seemed to have dreamed that Mason Nightshade kissed her last night. The memory was unclear, and Aurelia Shaw wasn’t sure if it was a dream or reality.
Moreover.
Last night, she might have dreamed of something else.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall it.
Aurelia Shaw decided not to think about it anymore and got up to wash up.
She searched all over the house and didn’t find Mason Nightshade. At this moment, a passing servant asked, "Miss Shaw, do you have any instructions?" Their attitude was much more respectful than before.
The servants had initially been troubled about how to address Aurelia Shaw. Later, she corrected them once, telling them to call her Miss Shaw, and since then, the servants have addressed her as such.
"Where’s Mason Nightshade?" asked Aurelia Shaw.
"The young master went out early," the servants replied humbly.
"Where did Mason Nightshade sleep last night?"
The servants’ faces first turned white, then blue, lowering their heads with embarrassment, and replied in a small voice, "In...in your room."
The servants, with their heads lowered, didn’t see Aurelia Shaw’s smile bloom instantly.
Tough on the outside, soft on the inside, even if he acts proud, he couldn’t bear seeing me sleep on the balcony.
Aurelia Shaw immediately sent a text to Mason Nightshade. The reason for texting was that Mason Nightshade had always disliked texting; he preferred calling to communicate quickly and clearly. Aurelia Shaw, with her mischievous streak or perhaps for a bit of romance, or deliberately to challenge Mason Nightshade, enjoyed sending him texts.
"What are you doing?"
Mason Nightshade quickly replied, straightforwardly: "Working, anything up?"
"Nothing much, just didn’t see you when I opened my eyes this morning. I’m missing you a bit," Aurelia Shaw’s lips curved into a smile, bright and mild, with happiness and delight dancing in her eyes.
The man in the office shook his fingertip, his earlobe instantly turned red, his expression was particularly serious and gloomy, causing Grayson Quinn to stare at him a few times, thinking some major incident had occurred.
Mason Nightshade replied earnestly: "Mm, busy now, we’ll talk later."
Aurelia Shaw didn’t mind the cold tone in the text, slightly curling her lips upward as she tucked her phone back into her pocket, not replying further, and headed towards the servants’ quarters.
Nolan Lawson’s place might hold some clues. She wanted to start from there, but she didn’t expect to run into Butler Li.
