She was seated and holding her baby with a vacant expression in her eyes.

Meanwhile, John’s supposed buddies–the Subway Heroes–had already disappeared.

But Aurelia didn’t approach Ann this time. Instead, she turned on her heels and exited the police station.

Once she was in the car, Aurelia let out a deep sigh. “I wonder how things will turn out

for her in the future.”

“Sometimes you gotta be a little cold–hearted. Saves a lot of time. Besides, it’s her choice. Adults should take responsibility for their decisions,” Leslie said.

“I know, but that baby… It’s a pity.” Aurelia helplessly shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Leslie didn’t say anything. After all, he never had much interest in the people and things around him anyway. So, after starting the car, he immediately changed. the subject, saying, “I need to stop by the company first.”

“Alright. But do you mind if I tag along to the office?” Aurelia inquired.

“It’s fine. Just make some nice food for the weekend,” Leslie replied.

“Yeah, I almost forgot about that. I need to check out what to cook.” Aurelia remembered her promise to host dinner for Leslie’s colleagues over the weekend.

So, she quickly looked up the recipes that she’d planned to cook. Then, she jotted down each ingredient on paper to ensure that she wouldn’t miss anything when she went grocery shopping the next day.

Aurelia glanced over to Cynthia.

Cynthia gave Aurelia a brief nod before shifting her gaze to Leslie.

“It’s time for the meeting,” she said.

“Okay.” Leslie nodded. Then, he turned to Aurelia and said, “Wait for me here.”

“Sure. Go ahead,” Aurelia replied with a smile.

“It’s Maria!” the receptionist corrected him.

Leslie just replied, “Hmm.”

Meanwhile, Maria was left speechless.

Upon observing such an interaction, Aurelia couldn’t help but chuckle. But then, she noticed that Cynthia was giving her a strange look.

“It’s almost time,” Cynthia urged.

So, Leslie finally left.

Then, as soon as Leslie and Cynthia were out of sight, Maria glanced around before leaning in

closer to Aurelia. “Ms. Simmons, you better keep an eye on Leslie.” “What’s going on?”
