Chapter 1399: Why Are You So Good-Looking?

“Years ago he did it for my mother, but what’s the reason this time?” Aurelia couldn’t figure it out.

It’s no wonder she overthought things; she knew Balthazar Shaw very well. When she first heard the news, she was genuinely touched, but after taking some time to reflect, she realized something was off.

Balthazar’s feelings for her were complicated—love and hate intertwined. Sometimes he wished he would never see her again; he definitely wouldn’t betray his country for her!

It’s not that she underestimated herself; she simply understood Balthazar Shaw too well.

But if not for her, then what?

It was precisely because Aurelia couldn’t understand this point that she missed many crucial clues.

This is why everything couldn’t be pieced together.

Things Aurelia couldn’t make sense of, she never overthought, but instead suppressed them deep in her heart.

“I’ll have someone investigate this matter,” Mason Nightshade’s expression also darkened slightly.

He had harbored suspicions about this matter before, and now hearing Aurelia mention it, he felt it was time for a thorough investigation.

Not knowing what he suddenly thought of, Mason furrowed his brows.

Aurelia noticed the change in Mason’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Mason shook his head and, as he lowered his head, kissed her lips, lingering without pulling away, gently biting them affectionately, “Aurelia, why are you so beautiful?”

“…” How did his mind get trained to be like this? How can he have a different thought every minute?

Upon arriving at the film set, Aurelia heard from others that Andrew Kennedy had come.

They had worked together on two series of “Dawnsong.” Afterwards, the media subtly began pushing them as a pair, so Aurelia gradually distanced herself from him.

Whether it was his agent intentionally crafting this or the media jumping on the bandwagon, she wasn’t sure.

Ever since creating distance, Aurelia hadn’t spoken with Andrew Kennedy, and having not been on WeChat recently, she naturally didn’t know he was coming.

He seemed to have come for personal reasons; nothing about his visit was reported online.

But why would personal matters bring him to the film set?

Aurelia squinted and pondered for a moment, deciding to ignore it.

She was the kind of person who wouldn’t waste a bit of thought on people she didn’t care about.

“Aurelia…” She tried to avoid him, yet someone actively approached her.

Andrew Kennedy walked toward her with a smile, looking stylish yet mature, his lips curled into a smile, wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers.

It seemed he was shifting to a mature persona.

Andrew Kennedy was over 25, past the age of being a young heartthrob; following that route wouldn’t appeal to audiences anymore. Typically, agents would adjust the persona to fit the artist’s age.

“Why are you standing there? Don’t you recognize me? I’d be quite heartbroken,” Andrew said, pulling a sorrowful face.

“What brings your esteemed self to my humble space?” Aurelia teased.

Her smile was as sly as a cat’s. Andrew chuckled, “If I said I missed you, would you believe me?”

Aurelia rolled her eyes, opting not to engage further.

Andrew Kennedy caught up to her, “I have some work-related matters here.”

Seeing Aurelia’s puzzled look, he explained, “I’m discussing things here; they haven’t been finalized yet, so I don’t want them made public.”

Aurelia understood.

Breaking into the M Nation market adds prestige to an actor.

But if it fails, it becomes humiliating.

Like what happened to Aurelia before.

Andrew Kennedy wanted to enter the M Nation market, but the contract wasn’t finalized yet, so he didn’t want anyone to know about it.

A sense of discomfort swept through Aurelia’s heart, leaving her with an uneasy feeling inside—what was the reason for this?

Mason Nightshade came to pick Aurelia up.

The car pulled up by the roadside, Mason gave her a call, and five minutes later, he saw a man and a woman walking out together.

Mason’s gaze suddenly turned cold, like ice.
