Chapter 11

Author: Love Berries
"That won’t be necessary," Aurora said coolly.

"He doesn’t like those kinds of events."

And she meant it.

Lucas always seemed distant and unattainable, refined yet indifferent—he truly wasn’t suited for such social gatherings.

Tessa’s smile deepened.

Of course, she heard about Aurora’s sudden marriage.

But the fact that it was handled so discreetly only made her more convinced that Aurora’s husband wasn’t worth showing off.

"What a shame," Tessa said, feigning regret.

"Your brother-in-law was hoping to meet him."

Aurora turned to Grace, her tone calm. "You once said I got married because of the Walton family’s traditions.

“In your eyes, it doesn’t matter who my husband is, so I’d rather not let Walton family affairs interfere with him."

Grace frowned slightly but remained indifferent. "Your sister was just being considerate. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. There will be opportunities in the future."

Aurora’s expression remained unreadable.

She truly didn’t want the Walton family'

    Aurora glanced at the list before speaking slowly and deliberately."On November 8, 2022, I took care of you when you had a high fever, so the standard caregiver rate is $120.“On November 23, I made three round trips to deliver urgent documents for you. It’s twelve kilometers in total, which comes to $60.“From 2022 to 2024, I cooked and delivered homemade meals and nutritious soups for you every single day for three years. That comes to $16,600."Her expression remained calm as she read each line aloud, but in her mind, flashes of the past three years played out.She had wasted three years on a man who was never worth it.She had poured time and effort into him, learning to cook, making soups, delivering meals day after day, all for someone who never truly appreciated it.And now, here they were—settling old debts in front of an audience.At first, Joseph listened with an air of indifference. But as Aurora continued listing item after item, his brows furrowed, his expression darkeni

    Joseph clenched his jaw, his eyes locked onto Aurora with barely contained rage.Beside him, Judy had gone pale.As more people gathered, Joseph finally gritted his teeth and spat out, "Bank transfer."Aurora remained unfazed, her expression calm as she pulled out her phone and opened her banking app, holding it up for him.The moment the transfer notification appeared, she glanced at the screen, then let out a soft chuckle, amusement flickering in her eyes."Much appreciated, ex-boyfriend."It was not so bad.After wasting three years of her life, she still walked away with $22,700.Joseph’s face was as dark as a storm cloud as he stormed off. Judy, sensing the weight of the stares around them, hurried after him, flustered.In the bright, upscale restaurant, Lucas’ gaze landed on Aurora from a short distance away.Beside him, his business partner followed his line of sight, curiosity flashing in his eyes.Then, with growing interest, the man’s gaze naturally settled on Aurora."Lucas

    Lucas froze for a moment before a slight smile appeared on his face.Suddenly, he wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning down, his voice cool and laced with laziness. "Rora, I've never pursued anyone before. Whether it's infatuation at first sight or feelings that grow over time, give me a chance. Let’s turn this act into something real, alright?" Rora was her childhood name. When she was young, her family loved calling her that. She hadn't expected Lucas to bring it up again. How did he even know about it? Aurora’s heart trembled slightly as she met his gaze. Her red lips parted, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse. She lowered her eyes, her long lashes trembling slightly before she finally spoke. "Alright." …Meanwhile. After leaving the restaurant, Joseph dragged Judy away with a dark expression. There was quite a crowd inside, all eager to watch the drama unfold. Someone even recorded the moment Aurora confronted him and later uploaded the video onl

    She remained calm, but there was an undeniable presence about her—nothing like a fresh graduate just entering the workforce. Chuck frowned, a flicker of doubt crossing his mind. Was she somehow connected to the Walton family? But Tessa had never mentioned anything about it. The brief hesitation quickly vanished. He let out a cold laugh. "Walton Corporation has no use for trash like you." Aurora said nothing. She simply picked up the documents and turned to leave. Not long after, the termination notice was officially issued. When the project manager heard about it, he was completely stunned. Others might not know Aurora’s true identity, but he certainly did. She was the Walton family’s heiress. Had Chuck lost his mind? Grinding his teeth, the manager stormed over to Chuck. "Do you have any idea who Aurora Walton is? You just fired her? Are you trying to get yourself kicked out of Walton Corporation?" "She’s just another college graduate," Chuck sneered. "What

    That evening, Megan invited Aurora out for some shopping, helping her pick a gown for Vanguard Group’s event the next day. By chance, they ran into Judy and Joseph. Judy glanced at Aurora with a soft smile. "You’re in quite the good mood, Miss Walton. Even after getting fired, you still have the energy for a shopping spree." Beside her, Megan’s face turned pale. What the hell? The Walton matriarch’s younger daughter fired from Walton Corporation? Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze shifting to Joseph as she spoke in a calm tone. "This was your doing?" "You should know your place," Joseph said with disgust. "Aurora, I never wanted to make things difficult for you, but you just couldn’t stop clinging to me." As Aurora’s best friend, Megan knew all too well the mess between the two of them. She rolled her eyes. "Are you out of your mind? You are a spoiled piece of leftovers no one wants, yet you think Aurora is desperate for you? Get over yourself.""Oh really

    His voice was deep and smooth, sending a shiver down Aurora’s spine as her heartbeat stuttered. "Lucas…" She blinked up at him, hooking her arms around his neck. "I remember you promised me that if I wasn’t ready, we’d take things slow." That night in the attic, the atmosphere had been too perfect. She wasn’t able to refuse him. Lucas had coaxed her in a low voice, assuring her he would never push her into anything she didn’t want. Now, he let out a soft chuckle. Tilting her chin up, his gaze remained cool and composed yet laced with undeniable temptation. "So… you don’t want to?" His breath, warm and teasing, brushed against her ear. A tingling sensation spread through her, making her shudder. It felt like a feather had swept across her heart. Heat curled through her body, something unfamiliar and impossible to ignore. Grinding her teeth, Aurora thought, “So much for his aloof, unattainable act.” This man was a menace. After a brief pause, she tightened her

    Aurora couldn’t take it anymore and quickly cut Megan off. "Alright, alright, I got it! Hanging up now!" Before Megan could respond, she ended the call. Then it hit her. Lucas heard everything Megan had just said.She suddenly felt like she couldn’t even look at him. However, Lucas didn’t press further. He simply watched her with a knowing smile, his amusement clear. Aurora needed a drink to calm her down.She pushed him aside and sat up, straightening her slightly disheveled clothes. Trying to maintain her composure, she reached for the water on the table and took a sip, hoping it would cool the heat rising in her face. Lucas watched her with growing amusement, his gaze deepening. Then, he stood and stepped closer, leaning down until they were at eye level. "Why is your face so red?" Aurora’s heartbeat pounded in her ears. Avoiding his gaze, she frantically searched for something—anything—to focus on. Her eyes landed on a magazine sitting on the coffee table.

    With broad shoulders, a lean waist, and sculpted muscles, his build was unmistakable even beneath the suit.Aurora suddenly remembered Megan’s words: "That body, that face, that build… my cousin is in a league of his own."Now, looking at him, she realized Megan hadn’t exaggerated at all."What are you thinking about?" Lucas set breakfast on the table and took a seat across from her.Aurora snapped out of her thoughts and quickly shook her head. "Nothing.""Drink this," he said, handing her a warm glass of milk. "It’ll get cold soon."She took the glass and sipped, though her mind was elsewhere.Stealing a glance at Lucas, she found herself thinking that this man really was something.As she drank, the warmth slid down her throat, yet her thoughts wandered.This whole situation—suddenly being married, sitting across from a man, sharing breakfast— was a first for her.Even after three years with Joseph, she never spent the night at his place and experienced anything like this.It was s

    All it did was make Aurora feel like her past self had been unbelievably naive.But Joseph kept going, oblivious to her discomfort. "Those were our best memories. I still remember the first time you blushed, the way you looked in that white dress—so sweet and shy. “You were always so gentle and soft when you were with me… it was such a beautiful time."As he spoke, he watched her face closely, searching for some flicker of emotion.But to Aurora, hearing those words from him made her skin crawl.The more he went on, the more irritated she became. Her expression turned colder by the second.She reached for her phone, ready to call a ride. Staying here any longer felt like a direct assault on her intelligence.Joseph noticed the gesture. That was when it hit him—she hadn’t been listening to a single word he said.And in that moment, he felt like a complete fool.He had poured out his heart, and yet this woman—this ungrateful bitch—could still be so heartless.His eyes darkened.

    Aurora’s anger ignited the second those words left his mouth.Without hesitation, she slapped Joseph hard across the face, her voice sharp and cold. "What the hell is wrong with you?"This is still Walton Corporation, and you think you can throw a fit right here? Whether I talk or not is none of your damn business. Try worrying about yourself."The slap caught Joseph completely off guard. Before he could react, Aurora had already snatched her phone back.He clutched his cheek, momentarily stunned, not even sure where to look.Rage overtook him. "You bitch! You actually hit me!"Aurora raised her chin defiantly. "So, what if I did? You brought it on yourself."Joseph couldn’t stand the smugness in her expression. Grinding his teeth, he snapped, "You think you can just cut me off like that? It’s not gonna be that easy!"Aurora, we were together for three years. Don’t forget, I’ve seen everything. You're not afraid I’ll send it all out?"His threat made Aurora pause, eyes narrowing as s

    After all, this was a choice, and a gamble, Aurora had made for herself.Even if she lost the bet, she knew she'd have to deal with the consequences on her own.She pulled out her phone, opened the ride-hailing app, and was just about to book a car when a voice laced with fury and bitterness cut through the air."Aurora Walton, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"The sudden sound startled her. She hadn’t even noticed someone standing nearby.Steadying herself, Aurora looked up, only to be met with Joseph’s face, dark and twisted with resentment."Well, look who’s changed careers," she said dryly, unable to resist the jab.Joseph blinked, caught off guard. "What’s that supposed to mean?""Nothing much. Just surprised to find a clown performing right outside my office," Aurora said casually. "Now move. Stop blocking my way."At that, Joseph’s expression twisted. The fresh style he’d worked so hard on couldn’t hide the rage contorting his face. "What the hell does that mean? I ca

    "Judy, I know things have been tough on you lately. Go ahead and pick out whatever you want."With a grand gesture, Joseph handed her a bank card. "You know the PIN. If it’s not enough, just let me know."Judy was momentarily stunned by the gesture, caught off guard by the sudden generosity."Joseph, you’re so good to me."He pulled her into his arms. "You’re my woman. If I don’t treat you well, who else should I treat well? Go to the mall this afternoon. Don’t come back until you’ve spent it all."Judy leaned into him, looking blissfully content. She could only hope all her previous doubts were just in her head.After sending her off, Joseph got himself styled up and prepared to head to Walton Corporation to see Aurora.The more he thought about things, the more stifled he felt.That spiteful woman—Aurora had kept things from him for three whole years. It had to be intentional.There hadn’t been a shred of trust between them—that was what made being with her so exhausting, and what

No matter how he looked at it, that’s exactly what it seemed to be.Jealousy churned inside him, bubbling to the surface with every breath he took.In the end, he could only turn and leave.Even though anger simmered beneath his skin, he was still standing near Walton Corporation. He reminded himself that Aurora would give him an explanation.“What if he was only a working partner?” he reasoned, trying to hold on to that thought.…Meanwhile, Joseph paced anxiously in his apartment.He dragged a hand through his

    "Yes, our GM’s been busy coordinating with a new project partner. She already left for lunch, probably eating at one of the restaurants nearby."The receptionist answered Lucas’ question without holding anything back.He gave a small nod in thanks and turned to leave.Glancing at his still-silent phone, a flicker of unease crept into his chest.It appeared that Aurora was still upset.He stepped out and wandered around the nearby restaurants, checking one after another. With all the people casting glances his way, he reluctantly pulled on a mask and got back in the car, driving slow laps around the area.Honestly, he hadn’t expected much—just hoped he might get lucky and run into her.But then, through a restaurant’s glass window, he caught a glimpse of a familiar smile.At first, from a distance, he wasn’t sure if it was really her. After all, she was sitting across from a man and a little girl.When he rolled the window down for a better look, the uncertainty vanished.It was Auror

    But Lucas wasn’t falling for her tricks anymore. His face remained cold as he said, "Stay a couple more days if you want, but once you're done having your fun, go back.""You’re kicking me out?"Wendy stared at him in disbelief, her face full of shock. They had known each other since childhood—was that bond really worth nothing now?Lucas stayed unmoved, firm in his stance.No matter how much Wendy pouted or begged this time, he didn’t say another word.In the end, the whole scene ended in frustration, with Wendy stewing in her own anger.Lucas had no appetite left either. Grabbing his coat, he headed out the door.Ever since Wendy arrived, he’d realized he needed to reevaluate his relationship with Aurora. He couldn’t keep treating it so casually.Wendy watched his retreating figure, her fists slowly clenching, eyes wide with fury.She had no idea what kind of spell Aurora had cast. Even after acting that smug, Lucas still indulged her.He even cooked for her.Wendy had never see

    When Aurora got up, she saw Wendy sitting at the dining table, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lucas."Wow, Lukey, I didn’t expect to taste your cooking again today. I’ve missed it so much!"Wendy exclaimed dramatically, "You have no idea, the stuff overseas is practically inedible. None of it tastes right. Home is still the best. And especially Lukey’s cooking."But Lucas remained expressionless. "Don’t touch anything. Wait till your sister-in-law gets up."Wendy pouted but, under his gaze, reluctantly put down the piece of fried egg.From the corner of her eye, she saw Aurora.The woman didn’t say a word. She just stood there quietly, like an outsider watching it all unfold.Wendy then walked over to her and, feigning intimacy, hooked her arm through Aurora’s. "My dear sis-in-law, look at all the delicious food Lukey made. Don’t stay upset anymore."If you ask me, you really are lucky. Lukey’s looks and background are both top-tier, and he even knows how to cook. Isn’t that the

    Lucas watched Aurora’s retreating figure but didn’t follow. He knew what she needed right now wasn’t more pressure, but space to cool down. If he pushed too hard, it would only make things worse. His fists clenched tightly at his sides. Only when the guest room door slammed shut with a loud bang did he snap out of his daze. Letting out a long, heavy sigh, he turned and headed toward the master bedroom. Meanwhile, in the guest room, Aurora sat in silence, unable to shake the frustration tightening in her chest. She had told herself from the very beginning to never believe a man’s promises. She and Lucas had always been about mutual benefit, and nothing more. And yet, something had started to shift. Something she hadn’t accounted for. Things were slipping out of her control, veering in a direction she didn’t expect and wanted.She raised a hand to her chest, fingers pressing lightly against her heart. That steady thrum felt more and more unmanageable. Why had she go
