Reborn As Mr. Coldwell's Wife
Chapter 172: A Precious Message

Chapter 172: A Precious Message

Aubrey sat at her vanity, her makeup scattered across the surface. She picked up her foundation brush, her eyes wandering as she started putting on her makeup.

She kept thinking about what happened yesterday—how she and Ellen had bantered back and forth, how they provoked each other.

And then Mason had shown up. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought of him, looking as calm and handsome as ever. She had tried to reach out to him, to rekindle hoping to rekindle their bond, but Mason had been distant.

Aubrey frowned at herself in the mirror, her fingers pausing for a moment. She hated that she felt this way—unsure, doubtful. It wasn’t like her. She was confident, successful, admired by many. But with Mason, things were different. He had been her everything once, and she was determined to make him see that they belonged together.

She brushed aside her thoughts and concentrated on finishing her makeup, a confident smile forming on her lips. Today was a busy day, and she needed to be at her best. She had several photoshoots lined up, and she wasn’t about to let anything distract her from her work.

Aubrey arrived at the photoshoot location, a big studio right in the heart of the city. Photographers and assistants moved around, setting up lights and adjusting equipment. She greeted the crew with a warm smile, her heels clicking against the floor as she made her way to her designated dressing area.

"Morning, Aubrey!" one of the makeup artists called out.

"Good morning!" Aubrey replied brightly. She sat down in the chair, allowing the team to begin their work. She closed her eyes as the makeup artist started, feeling the brush glide smoothly across her skin. The noise around her was soothing, a familiar sound that relaxed her.

The hairstylist stepped in next, her fingers skillfully styled Aubrey’s hair into an elegant updo. Aubrey looked at herself in the mirror, admiring the way her makeup highlighted her features, the hairstyle adding a touch of sophistication. She was ready. She needed to be perfect today—no distractions, no second thoughts.

Once she was in her outfit—a stunning dark blue gown that hugged her figure perfectly—Aubrey made her way to the set. The backdrop was a beautiful blend of warm colors, giving the shoot an ethereal and romantic vibe.

"All right, Aubrey, let’s get started," the photographer called, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "You look amazing, as always."

Aubrey smiled, taking her position in front of the camera. She struck her first pose, her body moving gracefully, her expression fierce yet soft. The camera clicked rapidly, the flashes illuminating her face. She changed between poses with ease, her eyes locking with the lens, radiating confidence with each motion.

"Perfect! That’s it, Aubrey. Beautiful!" the photographer praised, his voice full of admiration. "You’re amazing!"

Aubrey felt a surge of pride at his words. She lived for moments like this—the admiration, the compliments. It made all the hard work worth it.

As the shoot went on, she felt herself relax more and more, slipping into her element. The hours flew by, her day filled with outfits, makeup changes, and flashing lights. By the time the final shoot wrapped up, it was already dark outside. Aubrey let out a sigh of relief, feeling the exhaustion settle in her bones. She thanked the crew, giving them a tired but genuine smile before heading to her waiting room.

She sank down on the plush sofa, kicking off her heels and letting out a long breath. She reached for her phone, unlocking the screen to check her messages. There were several unread texts, mostly from friends and colleagues, but one in particular caught her eye.

Aubrey blinked, her eyes narrowing slightly as she focused on the name.

Mason?

She rubbed her eyes, certain she was seeing things. But no—it was really from Mason. Her heart skipped a beat, her fingers trembling slightly as she opened the message.

"Hey, Aubrey. Do you think we could meet up at the end of the week? There’s something I need to talk to you about."

Aubrey’s breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening as she read the message again, just to be sure she hadn’t imagined it. Mason wanted to meet her? A smile slowly spread across her face, her heart pounding with excitement. She quickly typed out a reply, her fingers moving almost too fast on the screen.

"Yeah, of course! Just let me know when and where!"

She hit send, her smile growing as she leaned back on the sofa. Her heart raced, a light flutter in her chest.

Mason wanted to see her. He had reached out to her—he was the one who had asked to meet. Did this mean he was finally seeing things clearly? Finally realizing that she was the one for him, not Ellen?

Aubrey closed her eyes, a contented sigh escaping her lips. Maybe their meeting yesterday had stirred something in him. Maybe he had finally remembered how good they used to be together, how much they had meant to each other. She could still picture the way he had looked at her once—with love, with admiration. And she was determined to see that look again.

She opened her eyes, her gaze drifting to her reflection in the mirror across the room. She looked tired, her makeup slightly smudged, her hair no longer as perfect as it had been earlier in the day. But there was a sparkle in her eyes, a glint that made her feel radiant. She knew she still had a chance with Mason. And she was going to take it.

Aubrey picked up her phone again, her fingers brushing lightly over the screen. She couldn’t help but smile at Mason’s name in her messages, a warmth spreading through her chest. She had waited for this moment, hoped for it. And now that it was finally happening, she wasn’t going to let it slip away.

She stood up, her legs a little shaky from exhaustion, but her heart light. She gathered her things, slipping her feet back into her heels. She had a long week ahead, but now, there was something to look forward to—something that made all the work, all the waiting, worth it.

Aubrey knew that she could make Mason see how perfect they were for each other. All she needed was a chance, and it seemed like that chance was finally coming her way.
