Chapter 1255: Sister-in-law Arrives
Sometimes Junia Simpson actually wishes he could be a bit more picky, have a bit of a cleanliness obsession, anything better than him throwing himself at missions and forgetting about his own body.
Whether it was out of revenge for Mason Nightshade’s uncooperative attitude, or Junia Simpson’s own selfishness, she said casually, "Aurelia Shaw is here."
"What?!" Mason Nightshade’s reaction was exactly as Junia Simpson had expected.
She repeated the previous sentence again, then added, "While you were in surgery and comatose, she was looking everywhere for you. She’s already found the location of our previous mission’s incident. If we let her keep investigating, she might figure out the content of our mission. His Excellency the President had no choice but to have someone bring her over."
"You all... are being reckless!" Mason Nightshade’s face showed anger, "In this state, how do you expect me to meet her? Send her back, immediately!"
"She’s already at the door." Junia Simpson said, "You know Aurelia Shaw’s temper best. Now that she’s here, do you think she’ll leave if you ask her to? Even if she returns now, she’ll probably sneak into the base alone at night. With all the traps set around the base, Mason, do you feel safe letting your wife break in halfway?"
"Instead of arguing with me here, let me bandage up quickly so that nothing is exposed later." Junia Simpson continued tending to her wound.
Mason Nightshade coldly curled his lips, "Once this is over, just wait to see how I’ll deal with you all!"
...
"Was it necessary?" Outside the door, Grayson Quinn said to Junia Simpson, "Did you really have to provoke Mason? Once he’s recovered, we’ll be waiting for the ten-kilometer run with weights as training."
"It’s good that she’s here." Junia Simpson remained indifferent.
Grayson Quinn looked at her in confusion.
Junia Simpson said, "With her here, there will be someone to keep an eye on him. Even if Mason doesn’t want to be found out by her, he’ll have to pay more attention to his health."
"You’re not actually in love with Mason, are you?" Grayson Quinn suddenly asked.
"I just don’t want to see Mason continue exhausting his life this way." Junia Simpson said blandly, with a trace of tenderness in her voice.
Grayson Quinn saw her staring in one direction, followed her gaze, and saw Aurelia Shaw jumping out of the car, heading inside quickly.
...
Aurelia Shaw pushed the door open, and seeing the man standing in the room, her heart that had been suspended high finally eased.
Mason Nightshade buttoned up his shirt, his expression unchanged, slowly turned around to look at Aurelia Shaw, his lips curled up slightly into a rogue smile, opening his arms, in a stance ready for her to leap into them.
Seeing Mason Nightshade like this, Aurelia Shaw really wanted to kill him.
But after a brief pause, she still jumped into Mason Nightshade’s embrace, his familiar scent filling her nose, and Aurelia Shaw let out a satisfied hum. But then she thought his scent was a bit strong.
Before she could think more, the world spun, and Mason Nightshade picked her up, pressed her onto the bed, his tall body descending upon hers, kissing her lips, taking away all her breath in a dominant, passionate, and deeply missed kiss.
Dylan Harper saw Mason Nightshade pick up Aurelia Shaw, his heart skipped a beat, worrying whether Mason Nightshade’s wound would reopen, and seeing the two roll onto the bed and stick together in no time, he covered his face in embarrassment and hurriedly left.
Aurelia Shaw and Mason Nightshade kissed for a long time before they separated.
This brief separation was not only a torment for Mason Nightshade but also for her.
"I thought..." Aurelia Shaw said breathlessly, pausing halfway, inwardly mocking herself: When did she become so superstitious? She couldn’t even bring herself to say the word ’death’.
