Early in the morning, Mark called her, asking if she had any free time. Aurelia Shaw thought he must have already investigated her schedule before calling.

"I'm off today. Is there something you need?"

"Mason misses you. Just so happens I need to go to Lincheng today. Could I entrust Mason to you for the day?" Mark asked.

Thinking of the chubby little face of the little bun, Aurelia's heart melted, "Sure."

She paused thinking of something and asked, "What about Mark?"

She did not want to spend the day with Mark Campbell, who seemed emotionless like a robot.

Seemingly knowing what she was worried about, Mark laughed and said, "Mark has some business at the company. He'll pick Mason up from you in the afternoon and won't take up too much of your time."

"It won't take up any time." Aurelia said with a smile, "It's no trouble for Mr. Campbell, I'll drop Mason off in the evening. I'll tidy up a bit, then I'll come over to get Mason."

"No need." Mark stopped her, "The car should be arriving soon."

A car? Arriving... arriving soon?

"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang.

Mrs. Rong opened the door and a chubby figure dashed in, mistaking her for Aurelia, and immediately hugged her legs. Mrs. Rong was taken aback, glanced down at the soft little bun, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "Oh, whose child is this? So adorable."

The little bun heard her voice and realized he'd gotten the wrong person, promptly letting go.

Seeing Mrs. Rong's face, he backed away in terror, pressing against the wall, his eyes wide with caution, as if he had a pair of little fangs warning against anyone approaching.

Aurelia: "..."

Was Mark... acting first and reporting later?

"Little Bun." Aurelia gently called Mason Campbell.

Mason Campbell turned his head abruptly upon hearing the voice, his big eyes welled up with tearful blossoms, sprinting over to cling onto Aurelia's legs, holding on tightly.

"Missed me?" Seeing the little bun, Aurelia couldn't resist teasing him.

He was just too cute.

His wanting to speak but daring not to expression was unbearably cute.

Aurelia held him in her arms, sitting down, asking Mrs. Rong to prepare some food for children, she ruffled his hair teasing him, "Did you miss me?

If you don't say it then you didn't miss me."

"Oh." She sighed, "Turns out I was overthinking, you didn't miss me at all. Fine, I won't come to see you anymore."

The little bun anxiously tightened his grip around Aurelia's neck, letting out incoherent noises from his throat, suddenly falling silent and quietly resting his head on Aurelia's shoulder.

Crying?

Did I go too far?

Aurelia was about to apologize when a soft, tender voice suddenly whispered near her ear, "I did."

"Muah!" Aurelia gave him a peck, "Auntie Aurelia misses you too."

Mason Campbell didn't expect her to suddenly kiss him; he froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up, staring at Aurelia, wanting to say something but pursing his lips without speaking.

"Do you want me to kiss you again?" Aurelia saw through his thoughts.

Mason Campbell's cheeks blushed slightly, his little head nodding like a pecking chick, hesitating to meet Aurelia's gaze, and when she didn't move, he let out a firm "Uh-huh!" from his throat.

Seemingly urging her to hurry.

Aurelia's movement to kiss him paused, her peach-blossom eyes reflecting a warm smile, "Muah!" landing on his chubby cheek.

"Come on, Auntie will take you to play something fun."
