Chapter 118 Why should it be wasted?
After receiving her assurance, Rachel nodded in satisfaction.
I feel that this girl is pretty good, not scheming, and is very down-to-earth. She is also lively when she is with Callum.
Laura sat down next to Callum, resting her chin on her hands and smiling her signature sweet smile, “Mother Finnegan is so nice to Auntie! I’m so envious!”
Rachel was amused by her, “Laura, if you get married in the future, your mother-in-law will definitely treat you well!”
“Mother Finnegan, it’s too early for her to get married!” Laura put down the cup of water handed to her by the maid, lowered her head embarrassedly and took a sip of tea.
Rachel smiled and continued chatting with Aurelia, “What year are you in? Are you busy with school?”
“Third year. Not too busy…”
“Well, what major did you study…”
At this moment, the maid who had followed Nelson upstairs ran down in a panic, “Mr. Finnegan, Mrs. Finnegan… something bad has happened!”
“What’s wrong?” Laura asked.
The maid glanced at Aurelia and said, “Little boy… Mrs. Finnegan, I didn’t mean to do that. I was just cleaning up the things he had messed up and I didn’t pay attention… I tried to stop him but he didn’t listen…”
Speaking of this, the maid almost burst into tears.
Aurelia suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly stood up from her seat and walked upstairs.
The others all followed.
The doors of several rooms upstairs were all closed, only Aurelia’s room was open. When she walked into the room, the originally tidy room was thrown into a mess.
There was no sign of Nelson in the room, but the sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom.
When she passed by the dressing table, she accidentally noticed that the skin care products that were neatly arranged on the dressing table were now in a mess, and some were missing.
The door of the bathroom was pushed open, and the little boy was playing with the faucet, applying the skin care products she bought at EliteMart to his face. There were a lot of them on his body, but the key point was that he dropped more of them into the wash basin and they were washed away by the water…
Aurelia has always had a bad temper. When she saw this scene, she didn’t even think about talking to the child nicely. She trotted over and scolded angrily, “What are you doing?” She turned off the faucet and rescued the skin care products in his hand.
But it was too late. There were already several empty bottles of cream, essence and toner next to it…
Nelson saw her ugly face and was so scared that he threw the bottle of cream in his hand at Aurelia before he could finish it. “Bad woman! Bad woman!”
“Shut up!”
It didn’t hurt too much when it hit her thigh, but the rest of the cream was all over her clothes, and Aurelia couldn’t help but jump.
The people behind were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Only Callum held Aurelia in his arms. “What’s wrong?”
The empty bottles of skin care products on the sink made Aurelia feel so distressed that she couldn’t say a word. She glanced at the little boy who suddenly threw himself into Laura’s arms and cried, then she bit her lower lip and suppressed her temper.
These skin care products are very expensive. My heart was bleeding when I bought them. Now they are ruined by a naughty child before I can even use them…
Laura continued to comfort the little boy in her arms. Without waiting for Aurelia to speak, she whispered, “Aunt, it’s just a few bottles of skin care products. There’s no need to be so harsh on a child…”
Aren’t they just a few bottles of skin care products? These bottles of skin care products cost tens of thousands! Callum worked hard to earn tens of thousands of dollars! He didn’t want to let the little boy waste it like this!
Aurelia couldn’t help but feel distressed and her eyes turned red. She took a deep breath and told Laura in a stiff tone, “Call his mother.” Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and one could not hear her emotions.
“What are you calling for?” Laura was a little confused.
“Tell his mother what he did! How to educate a child? Shouldn’t he apologize if he doesn’t pay compensation?” At the end, Aurelia couldn’t hold back her emotions and raised her voice slightly.
Laura looked at Aurelia in astonishment, “Auntie… it’s just a few bottles of skin care products, aren’t you making a fuss about it…”
Aurelia insisted, “It’s a few bottles of skin care products, yes! But these were bought for me by your uncle! I couldn’t bear to use them, and now he has ruined me like this. Can a child like him bear this? Shouldn’t his parents come out and apologize?”
Laura looked at Callum, who was silent beside her, in embarrassment. Callum seemed not to notice her gaze and just stood beside Aurelia without saying a word.
Rachel also stood there quietly, watching this farce.
Laura could not get help, so she could only say softly, “I brought Nelson here. Auntie, don’t be angry. I’ll compensate you, okay? I’ll have someone buy a new one and send it over. Don’t bother with a child!”
She was arguing with a child? Laura was really good at talking, “Don’t spend money, I just want an apology! You can call his parents!” Then Aurelia ignored Laura, looked at Rachel beside her, and said guiltily, “Sorry, Mom, I need to clean up here first.”
Rachel smiled faintly, “Aurelia, you come out first and let them clean up!”
Callum grabbed the woman who was wiping her tears from behind them, “Come out.”
Aurelia couldn’t refuse, so she lowered her head and followed Callum out of the bathroom.
Callum took Aurelia to the cloakroom, closed the door, and wiped her tears. “Why are you crying? It’s just a few bottles of makeup.”
The more Aurelia thought about it, the more distressed she felt. She said angrily and anxiously, “That cosmetics brand is one I’ve always admired but couldn’t afford. If it weren’t for your card, I might never have used it in my life. I finally bought it, and so much money was ruined… tens of thousands of dollars!”
“It’s only tens of thousands of dollars. Be good and stop crying. If you really like it, I’ll have someone send you a few more sets!”
Aurelia wiped her tears and glared at the man angrily, “What’s wrong with tens of thousands of dollars? Aren’t tens of thousands of dollars earned by you through hard work? Why should you waste it? Maybe one day you will work hard and stay up late for these tens of thousands of dollars, and drink with clients! And the attitude and reaction of that naughty child, how can I not care!”
If the little boy hadn’t intentionally destroyed her skincare products, she would have felt bad but wouldn’t have taken it too seriously. But what happened? Not only did the little boy not apologize, he also smashed her…
If it were her before, she would definitely pick up this naughty child and spank him!
Callum could tell that Aurelia felt sorry for him and was also concerned about the boy’s attitude. “Well, don’t cry. You know, tens of thousands of dollars are really nothing to me, so don’t be too upset. Change your clothes first, and I’ll ask Laura to call his parents, okay?”
He wiped the tears from her eyes with his thumb and kissed her eyes gently.
Aurelia, his girl, would make him feel so distressed if she shed a few tears.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
