Rebirth as The Billionaire's Seventh Wife-Chapter 91: She, Fall In Love With Me?
Chapter 91: She, Fall In Love With Me?
Aurora was thankful to see Alex resting peacefully.
When she draped a soft blanket over him, he didn’t move.
Kneeling next to him, she paused to observe his face. He seemed deep in his sleep and looked so tranquil and frail. It looked entirely different if he were awake and gave her a stern look as usual.
Aurora moved her hand to reach his face, but it lingered in the air just before her finger grazed his delicate nose. She took a deep breath and gently withdrew her hand from his face.
A surge of emotion filled her body, and her heart began to race.
"Alex, what should I do with you, huh?" she whispered, keeping her voice low, fearful he might overhear.
After a little while, she saw him stay perfectly still; his eyelids didn’t even flutter. She couldn’t help but feel relieved, knowing he must have drifted off to sleep.
"I would appreciate it if you could be gentler with me, Alex. It hurts my heart when your fierce and cold side comes out. I just want to enjoy a peaceful moment together before we part ways."
As she reflected on her own words, a playful smile danced on her lips.
Deep down, she realized what she was saying wouldn’t happen.
There was no future where she could remain by his side forever, as he appeared to only like her former self more than who she is now.
"Sleep well, Alex. I’m grateful for your presence with me tonight, even though the reason behind it breaks my heart."
Taking a deep breath, Aurora stood up and headed toward her bed.
Aurora found herself in a whirlwind of emotions, her heart heavy at the thought of a future without him by her side.
It felt unimaginable to think she would be apart from the life she cherished as Aurora Moon.
...
Once Aurora walked away, Alex’s eyelashes fluttered softly, and his eyes eventually opened wide with surprise.
Several lines formed on his forehead as he stared at the dark ceiling.
He released a soft, gentle exhale after taking a deep breath that filled his chest with fresh air.
Ever since the girl had unexpectedly appeared next to him, he had been pretending to sleep, curious about what she wanted to do.
As her gentle hands cradled his head, he found it hard to resist the urge to open his eyes and see her, yet he chose to hold back.
What confused him even more about her bold move to take care of him was the way her words seemed to wrap around his heart.
His heart felt heavy as her words echoed in his mind, filling him with confusion and guilt for the troubles he had unintentionally added to her already challenging life.
He knew that she had already endured so much. Having lost both of her beloved parents. On top of everything, she faced the unsettling presence of a greedy uncle who seemed intent on taking what rightfully belonged to her.
It’s genuinely heartbreaking to see her go through this.
Yet, he can’t openly show his emotions to her, worrying she might fall for him.
But something troubled Alex’s mind.
’Why does she sound like she’s crying when she talks to me? Didn’t she willingly accept this contract marriage?’
As he took a moment to gather his thoughts, suddenly, something popped into his mind.
With a quiet glance at the bed, he found himself wondering, ’Did she fall in love with me? Aurora Spencer, are you starting to fall in love with me?’
...
The next day.
After multiple assessments, the doctor finally permitted Aurora to leave the hospital and referred her to Star Medical Center in the capital.
They both made their way to Aurora’s parents’ graves.
Instead of being sad and grieving, she felt awkward when arriving at Aurora Spencer’s parents’ cemetery.
She did her best to hide her unsuitable emotions. But it was difficult since Alex was also present.
Previously, she attempted to persuade him to either go back to the car or step away from the graves to allow her some privacy.
However, Alex insisted that he also wished to honor them.
Aurora feels strange. Since waking up this morning, she has sensed his gentleness. He has prepared a set of new clothes from well-known luxurious brands for her, as well as a beanie to cover her wound.
Her confusion arises when he asks Alvin to bring healthy food from his hotel to the hospital. They even shared a table for breakfast.
Now, he stands beside her at her parents’ grave, offering silent support and companionship she didn’t need.
Aurora silently inhaled deeply, preparing to express her sincere feelings while gazing at the grave of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer before her.
’Mr and Mrs. Spencer, I sincerely apologize for the confusion. I want to clarify that the person before you is not your daughter. My name is Aurora Moon...’
Her hands gently clasped together, and she felt a flutter of nervousness in her heart.
’I’m unsure how my soul came to be in your daughter’s body. All I know is that she is gone for good, and I hope she is now with both of you.’
’Sir, ma’am, I have always believed that God sent my soul to your daughter’s body to resolve many unresolved matters with your family...’
Aurora shared the story of what happened yesterday, including Neil’s betrayal, with them.
She also attempts to communicate with Aurora Spencer, wishing her spirit was with her parents. She expresses her commitment to settling all her issues and finding happiness.
Aurora reassured her that she would handle everything that concerns her family.
After several minutes, she stood there in silence, expressing her thoughts. She finally felt that she was no longer just a passenger in Aurora Spencer’s body but that she was one with her.
A bright smile gradually appeared on her lips as she bowed in a final salute before leaving the grave.
She didn’t know when she would be able to come here again, but she promised to return to visit them.
As Aurora was about to walk, she was surprised to see Alex still standing in his place, staring at her.
His gaze reflected a strange emotion she had never seen flash in his eyes.
"Alex?"
