Chapter 1162: Custody of the Son’s Education
He transformed into that mature and reserved man who came back from M Nation, shielding her behind him.
Aurelia Shaw’s emotions were complicated. She originally wanted to protect everyone around her, yet she still allowed Viscount Johnson to become someone with experiences. Although he was bound to mature eventually, this kind of maturity, born from emotional conflict and feeling powerless after struggles, was different from the richness of experiences maturity brings.
Clearly he was right by her side, yet she still... Aurelia sighed silently in her heart.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Mason Nightshade pinched Aurelia’s chin, gently kissed her tender lips, and said, "It’s not your fault."
With a hint of a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, Mason Nightshade said, "He’s a grown man, so what if he goes through some things? Why treat him like a Princess and overprotect him? It’s not good for him, dear."
The tone was as if he was discussing the problems of a child’s education with Aurelia.
Aurelia also heard that Mason Nightshade was mocking Viscount Johnson in a childish way, and she thought, "Childish," and responded, "The Johnson Family isn’t going through dramatic changes this time. Viscount has always been like a young master raised in a greenhouse. Even if he squanders, the vast foundation of the Johnson Family is enough to support him throughout his life, not to mention that I won’t ignore him.
Even if he spends his life in leisure, what’s wrong with that? Must one go through life-and-death experiences and dramatic life changes like us to be deemed good?"
Once again, his woman was defending another man in front of him.
Jealousy surged in Mason Nightshade’s heart, his gaze flashing with aggression. He lowered his head and bit her lips, punishingly nipping a few times, and in a muffled voice said, "In the previous life, when I met him, that kid had grown well, with eyes that seemed capable of murder.
Even though surely certain experiences made him what he was, this isn’t a bad thing. Experiences serve as growth lessons, bringing benefits without harm."
After speaking, Mason Nightshade fell silent.
Aurelia looked at him, curious, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Mason Nightshade furrowed his brows, seeming truly troubled, and said, "I’m considering that if we have a son in the future, I absolutely can’t let you teach him. Too much motherly love ruins a child; he might be spoiled by you."
Aurelia: "..."
Is she being underestimated?
She believed she taught well enough.
"No taste," Aurelia said, but as soon as she finished speaking, she was then silenced. Mason Nightshade’s fingers hooked onto a place she dearly wished for, sealing her lips with a kiss, preventing her from making any more comments, allowing only the sounds he wanted to hear.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning, Aurelia climbed out of bed, rubbing her sore waist, muttering a curse at Mason Nightshade, who seemed to have no restraint, as if back in his own territory and thoroughly unbridled.
She went downstairs, and Mason Nightshade was already seated at the dining table. He beckoned to her and put a steamed dumpling into her bowl, saying, "Finish eating, and I’ll take you somewhere."
Aurelia had the intuition it had something to do with Balthazar Shaw’s disappearance. She quickly finished her meal, and the two went out.
The car drove out of the city, and as they passed by a club, Aurelia found it somewhat familiar but didn’t think much of it.
The car quickly arrived at the destination.
Aurelia stepped out and looked around. At this moment, a voice sounded: "Mr. Night, you’ve arrived."
The voice was as flattering as could be, as sycophantic as could be.
This voice...
Why does it sound so familiar?
Aurelia looked up and was stunned. Isn’t this Aiden Campbell?
Back then, she even fought with him.
She heard that the time she was kidnapped, Mason Nightshade thought he had kidnapped her and almost drowned him by throwing him into the river.
