Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 943

Neil looked up at the bright sunny day and barely could keep his eyes open from the glare. He remained unfazed.

"Oh, uh... Actually, my shoulder hurts too when the weather's fine. Hah, Southeast Aciatic is close to the ocean. The air is humid. A little humidity, and my shoulder doesn't feel good." Aurelia no longer knew what to say. She thought of what Cordelia had said "He likes you so much that he doesn't know how to express it."—and her heart jolted with warmth.

In her old world, no one had ever expressed it like this. It was childish and ridiculous, but it was warming and moving.

Whether what Neil said was true or not, the wound on his shoulder was because of her. He had acted and added the touch of drama all for her.

Aurelia chuckled with her head down. The already fragile defense in her heart collapsed entirely.

"Aurelia, just forgive me this one time." Neil's voice was deep and sincere. "I promise that I won't add any drama on my own from now on. You're the only director and scriptwriter in my life from now on. I'll act on what you say...

"And this ring." Neil clutched the one in his hand. His throat was a little parched, and he coughed. "This... This is Alexander's gesture. Let's not disappoint him, okay?"

Time seemed to stop at that moment. Who knew how long it had been when Aurelia slowly turned around?

Neil noticed the diamond ring on her ring finger at once and was elated.

"You..."

"I don't think I can accept this ring!" Aurelia pressed her lips together. "I'm not the queen. How can I wear this?"

Neil looked at her quietly.

She stood against the greenery in a white dress. As the sunshine cascaded on her long chestnut hair, it was as if she was gilded.

"Aurelia..." Neil chuckled and said in a deep tone, "You're not Southeast Aciatic's queen, but you're forever my queen!"

Aurelia smiled. "So, I can keep this ring?"

Neil walked up slowly, his deep and focused gaze indulging. "Not just that... I want you to wear it forever!"

Aurelia's face was pink, and the tips of her ears too. She lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.

Neil took the opportunity to wear his ring on his ring finger and pulled her into a hug.

"What are you doing?" Aurelia looked at him wide-eyed as she was wrapped tight in his embrace.

"Director Aurelia!" Neil smirked and said in a husky voice, "Friendly reminder. Generally, there needs to be a small climax at this point in the plot."

The clever Aurelia knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Mr. Best Actor, my plot isn't the same!"

"Is that so?"

"The small climax of the plot isn't here!"

"Oh?" Neil smirked and picked her up in a princess carry.

Aurelia gasped in surprise as her petite frame fell into his muscular and warm embrace. Her ears were pressed against his chest, and she heard the familiar sound of his heartbeat again. "Let's change the venue since it's not here!"

"Huh!?"

"I'm taking you home," Neil said hoarsely. "You haven't seen my room yet, right? There's a big, soft-"

"Neil!"

Aurelia pounded his chest with her small fists.

Neil's legs were long, and he ran fast. Although it still hurt his wound when he exerted force, he did not want to miss an opportunity to hold her in his arms like this again.

Zephyr slowly approached Cordelia and saw the ice cream cone in Zuko's hand.

They looked at Neil, who was running away with Aurelia in his arms, and could not help laughing.

Zephyr said softly, "Darling, it looks like they're a thing now?"

"It seems so!" Cordelia was happy as well and rubbed her son's face. "Our baby played a pivotal role in resolving the situation with his aunt in one fell swoop!"
