Chapter 1283

Author: Love Berries
“Who else could it be if not you? And you still have the nerve to deny it.” Grace slammed the table, her patience with Aurora completely gone.

She had thought, fine, maybe her daughter had flaws.

But now she wouldn’t take responsibility for anything. Out in the real world, if she screwed up, who was supposed to clean up the mess?

“You’re running your own studio now—you’re essentially your own boss. And when something happens, is this really how you handle it, by flat-out refusing to admit anything?”

Grace narrowed her eyes at Aurora. “Do you honestly think avoidance solves anything?”

Aurora was stunned.

She hadn’t done a thing, yet suddenly she was being accused of stealing a project and lying on top of it.

What she hated most was Grace’s way of jumping to conclusions.

Her mother never gave anyone the chance to explain. Once she decided something, that was it—case closed.

In her eyes, any explanation was just an excuse.

Realizing this, Aurora no longer bothered to defend herself.

    “Then why don’t you have a girlfriend now?”“That’s because I’m always stuck working for you.” Desmond gave Lucas a resentful look. “Do you think I have time for dating? I can’t even spare a moment. Every day I’m trailing after you, and if I slip up, I get threatened with being shipped off to Southwest to dig mines.”Lucas’ gaze flickered, his hand curling into a fist as he covered a cough against his lips, as if Desmond wasn’t talking about him at all.Awkwardly, he said, “All right, I get it. Once this is settled, I’ll make sure you get some vacation time.”“Thank you, Mr. Carter.” Desmond grinned from ear to ear. “When we’re back tonight, I’ll put together a proper guide for you to study. I believe Mrs. Carter will definitely soften if you follow it.”“Mr. Carter, the road ahead is long. Our revolution hasn’t succeeded yet—we comrades must keep working hard!”Seeing the determination on Desmond’s face, Lucas felt confidence rise in him too.That evening after work, he did exactly a

    “Do you really think that’ll work?”Lucas was doubtful of Desmond’s taste.After all, Aurora wasn’t an ordinary woman.He knew about those gestures already; it wasn’t as if he’d never come across them.But how could Aurora be compared to such clichés?Desmond, however, patted his chest with absolute confidence. “As long as she’s a woman, there’s no way she won’t like these things.”Seeing that Lucas was still skeptical, he quickly added, “All right, if you still don’t believe me, I’ll combine what I find online with my own experience and put together a full-on Wife-Chasing Guide for you.”“A guide?”“A Wife-Chasing Guide!” Desmond enunciated each word clearly, as if to emphasize its importance.Lucas was left speechless. Was that really reliable?It sounded more like the cheesy lines those TV show hooligans used.He wasn’t much for keeping up with trends, but even he had seen that kind of thing pop up online now and then.Desmond could tell Lucas wasn’t fully convinced yet, but he pres

    Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Desmond in silence, waiting to see what else he might say.The moment Desmond caught that look, he knew he had put his foot in it again.He turned his face aside, smacked himself, and muttered, “Damn mouth, why can’t you ever learn? Spouting nonsense here of all places.”After that, he turned back with a sycophantic smile. “Actually, this sort of thing isn’t hard to fix. You just need to put your heart into coaxing Mrs. Carter.”“Any suggestions?” Lucas asked, genuinely seeking his advice.After all, this was something better left to someone with experience.Until now, Aurora was the only woman in his life. He had never really been involved with anyone else.Originally, Desmond had planned to tease him a little, but when he saw the sincerity in Lucas’ eyes, it hit him—Lucas really had always been faithful.Even when he went to bars, he only drank. He never showed the slightest interest in calling over women.Those big bosses who tried to slip

    Desmond wrestled with himself for ages before finally coming up with that cautious answer.He had been urging himself nonstop inside—say it, hurry up and say it!The fear gnawed at him that if he slipped up, Lucas would ship him off to Southwest to dig mines.Because of that, every word he spoke had been weighed over and over in his head before he dared let it out.All he could think was, what if Lucas didn’t like what he said? One wrong word, and he’d be sent off to Southwest to deal with those locals.But to his surprise, when Lucas heard his words, he didn’t flare up. Instead, he looked thoughtful, as if seriously considering them.Even Desmond found it strange.He had been certain Lucas, in such a foul mood, would use him as a target to vent his anger.Never had he expected to see an expression so different from usual—that alone was shocking enough.“I think you have a point,” Lucas finally said after a long pause.Desmond’s eyes widened. He could hardly believe the man in front of

    With that thought, Desmond couldn’t help grumbling inwardly.But with the boss in such a foul mood, he knew he would suffer for it too.Desmond didn’t dare risk crossing Lucas now.Still, he had work in hand that needed reporting.The moment he thought of it, his head began to ache. He had tried to pass it to others, but no one else was willing to go.Clearly, the task had fallen to him alone.At last, Desmond resigned himself and knocked on Lucas’ office door, delivering the file inside.It was a long while before a voice came from within.Hearing it, Desmond had a sinking feeling—Lucas must still be angry.No, not angry, exactly—more like in a foul mood.But even so, Desmond felt only a trace of schadenfreude. He had no sympathy for Lucas at all. This was entirely his own doing.He honestly couldn’t understand how a man could make such a mess of things.Wouldn’t it have been easier just to admit his identity from the start?Instead, he let it drag on until she discovered it on her ow

    But tonight, she had no intention of going back.These past few days, she had already decided to sleep in the guest room.After being kept in the dark for so long, how could she accept it?That left Lucas alone in bed.Without Aurora in his arms, he found it hard to get used to.He tossed and turned, unable to sleep.Staring at the ceiling, he kept thinking about how he should apologize to Aurora tomorrow.Things couldn’t go on like this.It had taken so much effort to mend their relationship, and he didn’t want everything to fall apart over this.Otherwise, what was the point of all the progress they had made?With that thought, Lucas rolled over, frustration rising in his chest.After putting in so much effort, did it all mean nothing now?Yet he had no experience coaxing women.He didn’t know what to do for Aurora—only that treating her well was the only way to make up for his mistake.The more he thought about it, the more restless he became.The next morning, Lucas woke up early t
