Chapter 546 - 546: Call Her Sister-in-law!
Aurelia Shaw was half awake and half asleep, listening to someone speaking softly by her ear. The voice was pleasant, and she knew it was Mason Nightshade. Not wanting to open her eyes, she just shook her head.Mason kissed her forehead gently, got up, and took out one of her nightgowns from the wardrobe, slipping it onto her. He pulled the blanket over her.
He stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, he came out with a towel around his waist, his hair dripping with water and holding a towel to dry himself.
The phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, walked outside to the balcony to answer, and his clear and smooth voice sounded, "What's up?"
Grayson Quinn's voice reached him, "The arms dealers who kidnapped Aurelia last time, I've tracked some movements in the south part of town. Should I go and check it out first?"
"Keep an eye on them but don't alert them. Report to me if there's any news." Mason replied calmly.
There was a three-second silence on the call, and then Grayson suddenly cursed, "So you're at Aurelia's place! No wonder you're so calm today, not immediately dealing with those bastards yourself. Turns out you're there with her, leaving the grunt work to me."
"You talk too much." Mason murmured softly, leaning against the railing, the gentle breeze blowing, his tone indifferent, "Really should send you to a deserted place to practice how to talk less nonsense."
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. You're so heartless. My family in Capital City is quite a distinguished one, with power and influence. I'm considered a second-generation rich kid. How can you so easily think of sending me to some godforsaken place where not even a woman can be found?"
"If you don't like it, you can apply to transfer to another unit. With your status, you'll be treated royally elsewhere, living a life of luxury." Mason suggested.
Transfer to another unit?
He definitely didn't want that!
Back when he came here, he was attracted by the excitement, where no one would flatter him, and where he had a boss who could push him to his limits. If he went elsewhere, he'd just have a throng of people trying to please him, never accomplishing anything real.
Wait... Thinking about it, why does he feel like he has a tendency to seek abuse?
"Remember to call her sister-in-law in the future." Mason said, not liking the way Grayson kept referring to Aurelia in casual terms.
"What?" Grayson was lost in thought and didn't hear it clearly.
Mason: "From now on, don't call her that girl, call her sister-in-law. Mistaking it once means a punishment of one hundred push-ups and one hundred sit-ups."
"You guys divorced, why still call her sister-in-law." Thick-skinned, Grayson suddenly froze, a flash of insight striking him, his expression slightly changed, "You don't mean..."
"As long as you understand."
Mason hung up the phone.
Returning indoors, she was still asleep. Mason felt a chill and realized she had turned the air conditioner on again. Left on cold, how afraid was she that he wouldn't catch a cold.
Mason felt annoyed yet helpless, sighed, thinking about finding an opportunity to teach her a lesson and get rid of this bad habit, while turning off the air conditioner and tucking her in properly.
He originally wanted to lift the blanket and get into bed but felt a bit cold himself. He did fifty push-ups on the floor to warm up before lifting the blanket and holding her in his arms.
A dreamless night.
Aurelia Shaw didn't wake up until noon, her clothes had been changed, and there were traces on the bed next to her showing someone had slept there. It was easy to guess that Mason had stayed over last night.
Fortunately, he had some decency and didn't take advantage of her slight drunkenness.
Heading out, the food was already laid on the table.
Mason was in the kitchen.
