My Wife is a Hidden Big Shot-Chapter 166 - 160: Miss Sinclair, Do You Have a Boyfriend?

Chapter 166: Chapter 160: Miss Sinclair, Do You Have a Boyfriend?

One morning, Aurora Sinclair was surprised to find that her new neighbor across the hall was Indie Lowell.

She was standing in her doorway watching her, a cigarette held between her fingers. "How about a chat?"

Aurora thought for a moment, nodded, and walked into Indie’s apartment, carrying her breakfast.

The apartment was sparse; it was clear she had just moved in.

In the living room, there were only two sofas and a coffee table, and nothing else.

The coffee table was littered with liquor bottles and cigarette packs, and a small ashtray overflowed with cigarette butts.

"Coffee?" Indie asked.

Aurora shook her head.

Indie brought a cup of coffee out from the kitchen, sat down across from her, and sized her up.

’She had specifically investigated her: the second daughter of the Sinclair Family. An orphan from a young age, treated like an outcast and sent to Sunstone to practice martial arts. She had only recently returned.’

’After returning to Kingsford, she had only started gaining attention because she had caught the eye of the Young Master of the Morgan Family.’

"Where did you train? Can you introduce me to your master?" Indie got straight to the point.

But Aurora stated bluntly, "Sunstone. Master is very busy. You won’t be able to see him."

"I won’t disturb him. I just want to ask about Titus Miles."

Aurora looked at her for a moment. "He and Leigh Miles were rescued by our master three years ago."

"Rescued? Where were they rescued?" Indie grew agitated, but Aurora suddenly fell silent.

She tried to compose herself, stirred her coffee, and took a sip.

"I don’t mean to intrude on your lives. I’ve been looking for him for a very long time. You’ve never been a mother; you don’t know what it feels like to lose a child..."

"He was in the hands of bad people."

Indie Lowell froze, her fingertips turning white as she gripped the spoon. "Where are those bad people?"

"Dead."

The fluctuations of Indie’s Power finally calmed down a bit.

After a long while, she spoke again. "I want to see him..."

"No."

"Just a glance. I bought him so many things, and some for you and Leigh Miles, too."

Indie stood up, hurried into the bedroom, and dragged out two large suitcases. "These are all clothes and toys, and some educational toys, too. His Intelligence... it wasn’t always like this. He..."

As she spoke, Indie’s eyes reddened slightly and her nose stung. She seemed so fragile, nothing like the ruthless Female Martial Artist from that night.

"He’s Leigh Miles’s biological younger brother."

"I... know..." Indie let her hands fall, defeated.

"Want to get breakfast?" Aurora asked suddenly.

"What?" Indie looked at her, teary-eyed.

"Come and eat."

Aurora stood up, picked up the breakfast bag from the coffee table, and walked toward the door.

Indie paused for a second, then her heart leaped with joy as she quickly followed.

After leaving Indie’s apartment, Aurora knocked on the door in the middle. "Barron."

"Coming, coming..." Leon Barron was putting on a jacket as he opened the door. The smile on his face froze when he saw Indie Lowell.

"Aurora, this is..."

"Our new neighbor."

Indie smiled. "Barron, we meet again."

Leon Barron’s brow furrowed slightly, but he still nodded.

The two adults followed Aurora Sinclair into her apartment.

"Senior Sister, what took you so long?" Leigh Miles asked, poking her head out of the bathroom.

When she saw Indie, she cried out in surprise, "Pretty lady?"

Indie smiled gently. "I live across the hall. Is it okay if I join you for a meal?"

Leigh Miles had a very good impression of her. She was especially curious, having never met a woman with such high Combat Power besides her Senior Sister.

"Of course! Please, have a seat..."

Indie was a little nervous, especially afraid she would get too emotional when she saw Titus Miles. She secretly pinched her thigh.

Just then, Leon Barron opened a door and walked in, chuckling. "Little Tiger, it’s so late, why aren’t you up yet?"

Soon, a boy’s laughter could be heard from inside.

Indie felt a pang of envy, her gaze fixed in that direction.

Leon Barron led a dressed Titus Miles out of the room. From the moment he appeared, Indie’s eyes were glued to him. Her body trembled slightly, her expression suppressed, which made Leon frown again.

He took another careful look at her and was suddenly shocked to realize that Titus’s face shape and mouth were just like hers.

He immediately looked at Aurora Sinclair, who gave a slight shake of her head. He forced himself to suppress his astonishment.

After breakfast, Aurora Sinclair and Leigh Miles shouldered their backpacks and led Titus Miles out the door.

Indie Lowell immediately followed them downstairs, where Dean Morgan and Leon Barron were already waiting.

Leigh jumped right onto Leon’s bicycle, while Titus shot like a little cannonball into Dean Morgan’s arms.

Dean Morgan lowered his head to pick him up, then looked up at her, his eyes carrying a warning.

Indie’s heart tightened. ’This man has broken through to the Martial Arts Master realm?’

"The Young Master said you can follow, but you have to keep your mouth shut."

Indie nodded repeatedly and hurried to catch up with them.

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Academy of History, Aurora saw Ethan Lowell, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time. He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, seemingly trying not to be recognized.

Upon seeing Aurora, he immediately walked over, stopping three steps away from her and said softly, "I’m sorry."

Aurora Sinclair shook her head.

He was holding a box of candy, the same kind he had bought for her the first time. He shoved it into Aurora’s hands and left with extreme speed.

Aurora looked down at the candy box in her hands, then glanced back at his retreating figure, pursing her lips.

Unexpectedly, this simple gesture was once again photographed by someone.

It made it into the top ten hot topics on the school forum.

When Beta Morgan saw it, he sighed, "Our Aurora is in high demand these days. Youth is a wonderful thing!"

Benjamin Morgan said coolly, "No one was chasing you when you were young..."

"..."

During the lunch break, Aurora carried the candy box to the laboratory building.

The doctoral candidates at the College of Physics had long grown accustomed to her visits. When they saw her, they would greet her enthusiastically and proactively tell her Chester Greene’s whereabouts.

"Junior, Professor Greene is out for a meeting. Professor Morgan has been using his office recently. When you go in, make sure you don’t mess up his things."

Aurora Sinclair nodded.

She walked to the office with practiced ease, took a key from her pocket, and opened the door. But as soon as she pushed it open, she froze.

Hugo Lowell and Eve Lowell, who were on the sofa, were also surprised to see her. A flash of jealousy instantly appeared in Eve’s eyes.

"Have you eaten?"

Aurora shook her head reflexively.

"Come eat..."

Aurora pulled out the key, walked in slowly, and nodded at the two guests. She then went to the chair in front of the desk, put down her backpack and the candy box, and naturally took out her favorite chicken-leg-and-rice lunch from a paper bag on the desk.

Alvin Morgan placed a bottle of fresh-squeezed juice next to her.

The fragrant aroma of the food soon triggered Eve Lowell’s hunger, and a "GURGLE" sound made her cheeks flush bright red.

Alvin Morgan glanced at her and said indifferently, "The Lowell Patriarch, it’s getting late. I won’t see you out..."

Hugo Lowell suppressed the dark glint in his eyes, stood up, and said politely, "Young Lord Morgan, I’ll see you on Sunday, then."

Then he said to Aurora, "Miss Sinclair, my grandson was being insensible that night. I apologize to you on his behalf..."

But Aurora simply shook her head. "It wasn’t him."

Hugo Lowell’s smile froze for a moment, but Eve Lowell said righteously, "How could it not be him? My brother really likes you. He used to go out of his way to buy you candy from the sweet shop, the exact same kind you have on your desk. It’s the most expensive candy in Veridia, with only 50 boxes sold each day. You have to line up at the store in advance to get one."

Aurora glanced at the candy box, seemingly stunned.

Eve Lowell glanced at Alvin Morgan and continued with a smile, "My brother really does like you. He even rejected Mona Lowell for you, which is why she framed you."

Hugo Lowell seemed to have just learned this. He asked with a smile, "Eve, is that true? Does Ethan really like her that much?"

"Of course. He’s said in public that if he were to get a girlfriend, he’d want a beautiful girl just like Aurora Sinclair."

"Then... Miss Sinclair, do you have a boyfriend?" Hugo Lowell looked at Aurora with a smile, apparently very pleased with the idea of her becoming his granddaughter-in-law.

Just then, Alvin Morgan let out a soft chuckle, stood up, walked over to Aurora’s side, and rested one hand on her shoulder.

He said nonchalantly, "The Lowell Patriarch, do I not look the part?"
