Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband 

Chapter 208 

“But I’m pretty sure I don’t have any recordings this week,” Aurora said, her tone filled with curiosity. 

Jeff’s face lit up with a grin. “Perfect! Then we can definitely plan that outing I was talking about.” 

Before Aurora could respond, Parker interjected, his voice firm. “She’s not going anywhere.”

Jeff frowned but decided to remain polite, though his confusion was evident. Parker ignored him entirely, instead turning to Aurora with a practiced smile. “Aurora, don’t forget about your dance rehearsal this week for that new song Lily wrote.” 

Aurora tilted her head, trying to recall her schedule. After a moment, she gave him a puzzled look. “But isn’t that a sad breakup song? I don’t think a dance sequence is needed for a music video like that.” 

Parker froze, momentarily at a loss for words. 

Jeff burst into laughter, clapping Parker on the back. “Wow, Parker! I didn’t know you were so innovative. Is this creativity coming from personal experience? Did you dance through your own breakups?” 

Parker’s jaw tightened as he resisted the urge to retaliate. He couldn’t afford to lose his composure in front of Aurora. His tone was measured but firm as he replied, “What nonsense are you talking about? When have you ever seen me in a relationship?” 

Still laughing, Jeff shrugged. “Fine, fine. But she doesn’t seem busy, so why can’t she come with me?” 

Parker straightened, determination flashing in his eyes. “Because she is busy. This week, next week, and every week after that.” 

Jeff raised an eyebrow, undeterred. “Alright, how about the week after next?” 

“Still busy,” Parker replied before Aurora could even open her mouth. 

“Okay… next month?” 

“Absolutely not.” 

“Next year?” 

“She won’t have time then, either,” Parker snapped. 

Aurora blinked at the exchange, looking back and forth between the two men. Finally, she had enough. “Boss, Jeff, that’s enough! Please stop this nonsense,” she said, exasperation clear in her voice. 

Jeff pouted dramatically. “But Aurora, he’s blocking you from spending time with me. Sure, he’s your boss, but that doesn’t mean he gets to dictate your life!” 

Meanwhile, 

At the sound of the nickname “Aurora,” Parker’s internal alarms went off. He scowled inwardly, noting how quickly Jeff had overstepped. Fifteen minutes, and they already had nicknames for each ot! he’d spent weeks trying to get on a first–name basis with Aurora. 

Jeff, you traitor! How dare you move in on your friend’s future wife? 

Gritting his teeth, Parker declared firmly, “She’s not going anywhere with you. That’s final.” Without waiting for a response, he reached out, gently but decisively taking Aurora’s hand and leading her away.

Aurora blinked in surprise as she followed him, glancing back at Jeff, who stood there looking both amused and annoyed. Meanwhile, Parker marched forward, his resolve unwavering. He wasn’t about to let Jeff steal 

his chance. 

After some time, Jeff finally understood why Parker had been so protective of Aurora. The “future wife” that Parker had mentioned was Aurora, which explained the tense attitude. Jeff chuckled to himself. He wasn’t someone who made friends easily, and he was wary of people who only sought him out because of his fame and wealth. 

When he had first met Aurora, he was taken aback. He had expected her to be just another typical girl, drawn to the spotlight. But after speaking with her, he realized she was entirely different. There was a certain purity and energy about her that made people want to look out for her. She reminded him of his own love for food, which became their common ground. Their connection felt effortless, like the bond between siblings. 

A soft sigh escaped Jeff’s lips. As his thoughts drifted, he couldn’t help but wonder how his twin sister might have been if she were still alive today. Would she have been anything like him, or perhaps something entirely different? 

As he was lost in these thoughts, his gaze shifted and landed on Lily. There was something about her that seemed intriguing. He moved toward her instinctively but then halted, his attention diverted by the sight of his mother nearby. Deciding to approach her instead, he headed in that direction. 

Meanwhile, Parker had taken Aurora to a quieter part of the venue, away from the crowd. He turned to face her, his expression serious. “Aurora, why do you want to go out with Jeff? Do you like him?” he asked, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness. 

The thought of Aurora liking someone else made his stomach twist. If she had feelings for Jeff, there was nothing he could do about it. Love wasn’t something that could be forced, and he couldn’t make her feel the same way he did. If she truly cared for someone else, he would step aside, though the idea of it broke his heart. All he wanted was a chance–a chance to show her who he really was, to let her see the man behind the protective attitude. 

Aurora blushed and immediately shook her head. “It’s not a date,” she said quickly. “We just planned to have dinner together. He knows of a great restaurant, and since we both love food, he thought it would be fun to go.” 

Parker frowned slightly, still not fully convinced. “Then what about the nicknames? Why did he call you ‘Aurora‘?” he asked, his gaze steady. “You don’t have to hide anything from me. If you really like him, you can tell me.” 

Aurora’s cheeks turned even redder, and she hurriedly responded, “Yes, I like him, but not in the way you’re thinking. He’s like the older brother I never had.” She was surprised by how much she felt the need to explain herself to him. She didn’t want him to misunderstand her intentions. 

“So, is there any chance of something happening between you and Jeff?” Parker pressed, needing to know for sure.
