Top Actress Beware: Also Reborn Is Your CEO Husband!-Chapter 569: Mason Nightshade Has Been Watching Dad
Aurelia Shaw lifted the quilt, ready to lie down when suddenly there were two buzzing vibrations. It wasn't her phone because her phone's ringtone wasn't this sound.
She glanced to the side and looked at the phone next to Mason Nightshade's pillow, which had lit up.
Driven by an inexplicable force, a strong urge to take a look blossomed in her heart.
Mason Nightshade never avoided using his phone in front of her, nor did he mind her looking at his phone, but... in the middle of the night, who would be texting him?
Aurelia Shaw stared at the phone, glanced again at Mason Nightshade, and picked it up.
A password was needed...
Aurelia Shaw grasped Mason Nightshade's thumb and unlocked the phone with his fingerprint.
The text message's content jumped into her line of sight.
Only a short line of text, yet it caused Aurelia Shaw's heart to plunge into icy water, cold to the bone, as an unexpected chill flowed into her bloodstream, freezing her limbs, an ache subtly tugging at her heart.
"Balthazar Shaw is normal."
Aurelia Shaw's eyes instantly turned sharp and cold, her icy face taut, her expression eerily still. But her grip on the phone was forceful, with fingertips turning white and trembling slightly, betraying her calm facade.
He was monitoring Dad.
All along... who knows when he started watching Dad.
Yet in front of her, he never once mentioned it, acting as if nothing had happened.
Ha... how could she forget, Mason Nightshade was a born master in the art of deception.
Aurelia Shaw bit her lower lip fiercely.
The thin moonlight shone inside, illuminating her tense and slender back.
——
The next day.
Mason Nightshade opened his eyes, not seeing Aurelia Shaw.
A hollow feeling emerged in him, his gaze frantically searched the room. Suddenly, an anxiety swept over him as if he was on the verge of losing something cherished.
He pulled over the shirt on the bed, hurriedly put it on, was about to get up and search for her when he caught sight of the person coming out of the bathroom from the corner of his eye. He was stunned.
Aurelia Shaw glanced at his messy shirt, frowning slightly, "What are you doing?"
Mason Nightshade exhaled lightly, his tense facial lines relaxed, his eyes filled with tenderness, mixed with a hint of fear and relief.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, feeling somewhat amused, "I thought you left."
"Hmm, I'm leaving," Aurelia Shaw said nonchalantly.
She hadn't noticed Mason Nightshade's face, which had just relaxed, instantly tightened again, his gaze locked onto her, seemingly afraid of losing something important.
Aurelia Shaw's subsequent words drifted over, "I'll be going downstairs to eat shortly."
Mason Nightshade almost imperceptibly exhaled a breath of relief, looked down, just then realizing that his shirt buttons were all wrong. He undid and rebuttoned them, walking toward her.
Mason Nightshade wrapped his arms around Aurelia Shaw from behind, pulling her into his embrace.
Aurelia Shaw's back suddenly stiffened, her face flashed coldly, her gaze icy, but her voice remained neutral, "What's up?"
"I miss you." Mason Nightshade's voice was husky, his chin affectionately nuzzled against her neck, inhaling her pleasant fragrance, he couldn't help but kiss the back of her neck.
Aurelia Shaw's fingers were ice-cold, clenched tightly in her palm, her eyes veiled with a frosty layer.
"Mason Nightshade, we slept in the same bed last night!" her voice carried a hint of chill.
In Mason Nightshade's ears, it sounded as if she was gnashing her teeth in helpless frustration. He affectionately hugged her waist, the "loyal dog tail" behind him seemed to wag and wag.
"But I miss you again, Aurelia. Don't go to places where I can't find you, alright?" Unable to find her, not seeing her was unbearably painful, every breath drawn was laced with a tearing ache, nearly ripping open his lungs.
