"Aurora, yesterday I saw your husband with another woman."
The woman named Aurora Harperwood immediately turned. She glanced while giving a thin smile to Velia, who seemed to deliberately walk towards her work desk.
"Maybe Alex has a meeting with a client or a colleague. Where did you meet him?" Aurora asked curiously.
As a man who held a leadership position in a retail company, he knew that his husband's job often involved interactions with the opposite gender. Aurora was also confident that Alex wouldn't do anything inappropriate. Logically, if Alex were being unfaithful, their relationship wouldn't have lasted for two years.
"I saw Alex at the Kempinski Hotel," replied Velia.
"You met Alex at the hotel?"
Aurora's forehead furrowed. She tried hard to think positively, believing that her husband didn't cross any boundaries. No, Aurora was sure that Alex was a good man.
"Yes, I saw him entering one of the elevators with a woman," Velia explained. From her gaze, Aurora was convinced that her friend wasn't lying about what she had just revealed.
"Ah, maybe they indeed had a business meeting."
"A business meeting? The problem is, I clearly saw Alex hugging that woman very intimately, Nicole. What kind of business associate hugs so intimately?"
Aurora's heart started to beat twice as fast. Discovering that her friend saw her husband being intimate with another woman disturbed her thoughts.
"I'm sure they are more than just colleagues," Velia continued. "Besides, what kind of business is conducted in a hotel and only involves two people? I'm sure that Alex—"
"Velia..." Aurora interrupted. "Enough, stop. There's no need to continue," she pleaded, shaking her head multiple times. She asked Velia to stop what was being accused and thanked her for the information.
After hearing this news, Aurora couldn't focus on her work at the hospital for the rest of the day. Despite being a pediatric specialist, she needed to stay focused to avoid mistakes in her medical procedures.
After struggling with her inner turmoil for a while, Aurora finally made up her mind. She decided not to dwell on the news Velia had shared for the sake of her peace of mind. She tried her best to believe that her husband didn't betray their marriage.
As soon as the workday ended, Aurora hurriedly drove home, hoping to arrive before her husband, who usually came home in the evening.
Upon reaching home, after putting away her doctor's coat and the usual work bag, Aurora went straight to the kitchen. As usual, she took the time to cook dinner first so that she could enjoy it with her husband.
For her, despite being busy every day with work and the numerous patients at the hospital, Aurora must not neglect her duties as a wife. She tried her best to do and prepare what her husband needed.
After cooking and setting the food on the table, Aurora quickly headed to the bedroom. She cleaned herself and got ready to welcome her husband.
At exactly seven in the evening, the person she had been waiting for finally arrived home. Entering the room, the handsome, tall man approached Aurora, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.
Alex appeared to be carrying and then handed over a bucket of red roses and a box of red velvet cake, which had always been Aurora's favorite. He also gave a hug and a tender kiss as usual, something he did every time he left or returned from work.
"I missed you," Alex whispered while tightly hugging Aurora. Loosening the hug slightly, he kissed Aurora's forehead and lips alternately before finally releasing the embrace.
Aurora smiled. Seeing her husband's sweet gesture, how could she believe that Alex Wildblood would betray her? His attitude had always been warm and affectionate, even smart at pleasing her. It seemed there was no room for Alex to do anything foolish, let alone cheat.
