Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: It’s Him!
Just as she thought.
"What have you been using these past few days?" Aurelia Shaw asked.
Mason Nightshade replied casually, "Gustavo Yates brings a new set over every day?"
Is this what they call extravagance?
But...
Aurelia Shaw still dragged Mason Nightshade to the supermarket to buy a new set.
As Aurelia Shaw picked which toothbrush to use, Mason Nightshade stood by, watching her with unwavering interest, his tone slightly teasing, "You could just use the one Gustavo brought, there’s no need to go out shopping again."
Though he did quite enjoy the feeling of her buying things for him.
"It’s different." Aurelia Shaw replied without looking up as she chose a toothbrush.
"What’s different?" Mason Nightshade raised an eyebrow, they’re just toothbrushes, what could be different?
"Your own toothbrush holds memories." Aurelia Shaw said coolly.
Mason Nightshade paused for a moment, letting out a low laugh, "I’ve suddenly realized, you’re quite nostalgic."
"Am I?" Aurelia Shaw frowned slightly, she didn’t think she was nostalgic.
"Yes!" Mason Nightshade affirmed, "You use your own toothbrush, keep old clothes you never wear, carefully store things you’ve used before, and there’s me."
Mason Nightshade paused before adding the last sentence.
It’s fortunate she has this nostalgic trait, otherwise he would have been discarded by her.
"Hmm, when you put it that way, I guess I do have a bit of a nostalgia complex." Aurelia Shaw nodded in agreement, then looked at him again, "Looking at it this way, you have no nostalgia complex whatsoever, so your feelings for me are just a fleeting passion?"
Mason Nightshade pinched her cheek, feeling tempted to take a bite from the plumpness, "My nostalgia complex is entirely focused on you."
"So your feelings for me are just nostalgia? I thought you liked me." Aurelia Shaw teased.
Mason Nightshade pinched her fingertip in mild retribution, "It’s because I love you, okay?"
"Not interested." Aurelia Shaw pushed him away, a smile playing on her lips.
Aurelia Shaw then selected some other personal items and left.
From behind the shelves, a figure emerged, watching the two as they departed, a glint of cold malice in their eyes.
...
After dropping off the things, Aurelia Shaw returned to the supermarket.
There was one item she hadn’t bought.
Not that she forgot, but she didn’t buy it on purpose.
If Mason Nightshade found out she was picking out underwear for him, with his wolf-like arrogance, he’d be thrilled beyond measure.
Hmm... should it be briefs or boxers?
"Ah! I’m sorry!" A male voice exclaimed as the underwear fell to the ground after bumping into Aurelia Shaw’s hand. She looked up and met a pair of jet-black eyes.
She froze.
"Are you okay?" The man apologized with a smile.
Aurelia Shaw stared at the face for a long time without coming back to her senses.
She remembered this face.
That day, in front of Stephen’s office, she almost mistook this man for Mason Nightshade.
But now, upon closer inspection, this man actually looks quite different from Mason Nightshade.
This man’s eyes are narrower, giving off a very cold vibe, his features mature and rugged, his gaze deep and dark, hair slicked back, wearing a crisp black suit.
At this moment, he was smiling at Aurelia Shaw.
Yet, Aurelia Shaw didn’t feel any warmth, only a chill running down her spine.
"Sorry." He said smoothly, bending down to pick up the items from the floor, his fingers tensed for a moment before naturally handing them back to Aurelia Shaw, "Your things."
Aurelia Shaw accepted them, "Thank you."
