Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia felt annoyed at herself. It wasn’t like she could ask Leslie to change her contact name to “Wifey“.

As she faced his stare, the elevator door opened.

Feeling like she had been saved, she hurried inside and said, “Just change it to whatever you want.”

He stepped inside and said, “Sure.”

As the elevator descended, the two remained silent, and she noticed him tapping on his phone.

Confused, she wondered if it took that long to change a contact profile.

What exactly was he doing?

Curiously, she approached him. As her gaze fell onto the screen, it went black, and she only managed to catch sight of a symbol.

Leslie’s voice rose.

“Do you want to see it?”

“Yeah.”

Aurelia nodded without much thought and froze when she snapped out of it. She immediately shook her head.

“No, I don’t want to see it.”

“Alright,” he said and stepped out of the elevator.

She pouted behind him and thought, “Whatever.”

After taking a few steps forward, Leslie stopped and turned to look at her.

“I hope it will never be needed.”

Aurelia fell silent, unable to understand the type of information one would wish would never be necessary.

She didn’t inquire further, and Leslie headed straight to the parking lot.

Back home, Leslie advised her to get some sleep while he went to the kitchen to wash the lunchboxes.

Leslie was indeed impeccable, both as a husband and a room

Aurelia returned to her room and lay down.

But even with her eyes closed, Leslie’s words kept echoing in her mind.

“Ugh, I can’t sleep.”

She sighed and reached for her phone to pass the time and hopefully induce sleep.

Just as she opened the video app, there was footage of an accident on an overpass.

In the video, a woman crawled out of an overturned car, trembling as she clutched her phone.

Bystanders rushed to her aid, dialing emergency services while urging her to remain Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

conscious.

The woman weakly waved the phone, the screen displaying “Emergency Contact“.

Ultimately, the ambulance arrived, and bystanders said they had reached the woman’s husband using the emergency contact on her phone.

The outcome was positive, and Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief as she scrolled to other

videos.

Suddenly, something occurred to her. She rewound the video and paused it on the screen of the woman’s phone.

phone in

There was a red asterisk symbol. She had seen this symbol before on Leslie’s phone in

the elevator.

She pondered if it meant Leslie had added her as an emergency contact.

It was no wonder Leslie had said he hoped it would never be needed.

She sat up abruptly in bed and searched for how to add an emergency contact on her phone. Following the steps, she realized it required several taps, just like Leslie did.

It was +

She had become Leslie’s emergency contact.

Suddenly, she felt a bit more burdened with responsibility.

At that moment, she heard the sound of the balcony door opening from outside her room.

door.

Aurelia hesitated. She wondered why he was still awake despite it being so late,

After a moment’s contemplation, she got out of bed and walked out of the room.

In the living room, she saw Leslie leaning against the balcony railing. The evening breeze tousled his shirt and his hair.

He remained motionless with his head slightly bowed like he was gazing downstairs or looking at the flickering cigarette in his hand.

There was always a mysterious energy about him, which was both intriguing and irresistible.

Aurelia didn’t want to disturb Leslie’s thoughts. However, as she turned to leave, she bumped into the couch, making enough noise to startle him.

He turned to look at her, and through the glass door, she couldn’t discern what was on his mind.
