Rebirth as The Billionaire's Seventh Wife-Chapter 176: Finally, Visit Her Stone House

"Yeah, I remember! You threw me your silly prenup!" Aurora chuckled, shaking her head as she recalled that day.

Suddenly, Alex’s expression became stiff as memories of that day flooded back.

"Oh, Rory, I’m truly sorry..." Alex says, gently holding her hands, feeling awful about that day. "Did you feel sad when I did that?"

"Absolutely. I cursed you countless times." Aurora smiled at his smirk. "Honestly, I’m glad because returning to you and meeting your parents felt like a heavy burden back then. The contract you proposed was a relief for me."

Although Alex was disappointed to hear her words, he couldn’t blame her.

At that time, he didn’t realize she was actually Aurora Moon. He disliked her because she had the same name as Rory. That’s why he was very cold to her back then.

"I feel really awful now. But, Rory, you understand why I did that, don’t you?" he explained earnestly. "I’m only planning two years with her because her father asked me to keep her safe from his family and ensure she has a stable life before we part ways."

"You are terrible, Alex!" she teased, but Alex felt even more upset with himself, knowing he had hurt her that day.

"I agree, I was a terrible man. That was in the past, yes. But now? Absolutely not... I’ve already promised you this is my final marriage, Rory... I will never get a divorce; even if you plead with me, I will not agree!" Alex stated earnestly.

"I’ll keep that in mind, Alex!"

Alex doesn’t say a word, but he gently pulls her into his arms, holding her close for a while.

After a moment, he smiles and says, "Alright, alright... can we stop talking about my horrible past, huh!?"

"Hmm... Let’s leave those memories behind." She nods in agreement, realizing the past is no longer important. What truly matters now is that they are together.

"Rory, the ring looks good on you..." Alex said nervously as he met her gaze.

His joyful smile flashed on his lips as he looked into her sparkling eyes. "Is this our engagement or wedding ring, Rory...? Or do you prefer another ring?"

Aurora shook her head.

"It doesn’t matter to me, Alex. I will accept whatever you give me."

She was filled with emotions; words could not capture the happiness and love she felt right now.

After a while, they share a warm embrace, savoring each other’s company.

However, soon after, an idea strikes Alex. He sat up straight, abruptly confusing Aurora.

"What happened?" she asked, looking at him puzzled.

Alex stood up from the sofa and offered her his hand. "Rory, go wear something warm!" he said, leading her to the walk-in closet.

"Where are we going?" she asked while wearing the long coat that Alex offered her.

"Your stone house!"

"Really!!" Aurora shouted excitedly as they walked toward the stairs. She truly wanted to visit her house, but she had never once had the opportunity to go there.

When Alex and Aurora arrived on the first floor, they met Martin, who was about to turn off the light. He was surprised to see them.

"Sir, Madam... Are you both planning to go out?" he asked, concerned whether they still needed him.

"We will go to the stone house," Alex said, continuing toward the back door. "You don’t need to follow us; you can rest now, Martin."

Martin was surprised to learn that, but he replied, "Yes, sir..." and headed back to his home.

...

When they arrived at Stone House, Alex let Aurora enter the passkey, but she paused and gazed at him first before she entered the password.

"Alex, are you still doubting me?" she asked, looking at him curiously.

Alex’s eyebrow slightly raised as he smiled at her, "How do you know that?"

"Geez, I feel disappointed in you, Alexander Graystone!" she said, shaking her head. freёwebnoѵel.com

Instead of worrying because she was angry, Alex laughed.

It baffled Aurora; she couldn’t help but ask, "And you find that amusing?"

Alex gently rested his hands on her shoulder and turned to face him, catching her sulky gaze with a warm smile.

"Hey, I’m not doubting you, Rory. I just want you to experience that feeling of returning to your own home..." Alex said honestly, and it was enough to bring a smile back to her face.

He added, "I also didn’t know your password. Martin and I have only accessed your house from the back door all this time."

"Ah, you are right..." Aurora said, playfully slapping her forehead. She had always kept her password private, even from Alex.

"I wanted to come to this place, but you guard it so well! Even on the first day, you caught me." She smiled wryly, remembering those times.

"From that moment, I started feeling a little suspicious about you. You revealed so many similarities that really piqued my interest," Alex confesses.

As Aurora enters the passkey and steps inside her house, a wave of emotions sweeps over her, bringing feelings that had been absent for so long.

After Aurora switches on the light, she feels warm in her heart, grateful to return to this house once more.

"You know what, Alex?" Aurora said while turning to see him. "I deliberately drop so many hints for you to notice them. But over time, I stopped because I felt tired."

Aurora then walks toward the kitchen area. She feels impressed with the cleanliness. All the items in this house were still in the same place. She feels like she only left her home a few hours ago. Nothing has changed.

"My goodness, why do I feel this house is cleaner than when I lived here? So, does Martin clean this house daily?" she asked, turning to see Alex as he settled on the sofa.

"Hmm, I also always visit this place to ensure he completed his work correctly," Alex said casually as he turned on the television.

Aurora was left speechless as she noticed how casual and full of joy he was now. He looks like he’s been enjoying living here for a long time.
