Chapter 152

Author: Love Berries
No matter what Aurora said, Nora remained quiet and unresponsive, her expression blank.

She clutched a bunny plush in her arms and kept herself hidden behind Leonard, entirely in her own world.

Even so, Aurora showed no sign of frustration.

If anything, her eyes softened with even more sympathy.

Leonard couldn't help but speak up. "Aurora, it’s alright. You should go ahead and eat. Don’t worry about my sister. I’ll take care of her. If she wants to eat, she’ll eat."

Seeing how patient Aurora was made Leonard feel a little embarrassed.

Part of him was surprised.

But he couldn’t help but wonder—was Aurora really this kind and compassionate, or was it just a front because of their business partnership?

With that thought lingering, he gave her a more thoughtful look.

Aurora returned to her seat, a little reluctantly.

At first, she’d wanted to get close to Leonard for work reasons, to build a stronger partnership.

But now, after seeing what Nora had been through at such a

    After the server brought over the extra pudding, she bent down with a patient smile and started chatting with Nora. She gently reminded her not to eat too much at once, saying she could finish this one and come back next time for more. If she liked it, they’d be happy to have her again. In the warm sunlight, the delicate lines of Aurora’s profile seemed to glow, especially when she spoke to Nora—her whole face lit up with a soft, heartfelt smile. Leonard found himself staring, momentarily dazed. His heart skipped a beat without warning. Inside the restaurant, everything else faded into the background. In his eyes, there was only Aurora and his little sister. The warmth in Aurora’s voice, the kindness in her expression—it all made the corners of Leonard’s mouth lift, almost involuntarily. Maybe it was time for Nora to have a little more contact with the outside world. …“Lukey, you’re always working,” Wendy pouted, her full lips forming a perfect little frown, the innoce

    Watching the scene unfold, Lucas felt a flicker of dissatisfaction. He was beginning to think it might be time to have a serious conversation with Kenneth about his sister’s entitled behavior. But before he could dwell on it, Wendy switched gears with surprising ease. She held up a shirt with a bright smile. “Lukey, look at this one! I think it’s perfect for you!” She grabbed a matching tie and pair of pants. “And this tie and these trousers—now it’s a full set!” Lucas gave them a once-over, his eyes narrowing slightly. They were exactly his style—simple, sharp, and the kind of clothes he usually wore. Just as he was about to pay, Wendy beat him to it. “I’ve got it. Lukey, this is my gift to you.” For some reason, that warmed him more than he expected. After all, even Aurora had never really bought him anything like this. "Alright," he said, a rare trace of softness in his tone. "Looks like you’ve grown up." Wendy grinned and leaned in playfully. “Of course I have

    She couldn’t help wondering—what did his wife look like? What kind of woman was she? The man she’d had her eyes on for so long, the one she grew up with, had been taken by someone else just like that. How could she possibly be willing to accept it? Today, she was determined to meet this so-called wife. After dinner, Lucas offered to drive Wendy back. But she refused. “Lukey, I hardly ever come to Ravenshore, and you’re really going to make me stay in a hotel the whole time?” She sat in the backseat, turning her head toward the window, lips slightly pouting. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to sit in the front. She had tried until Lucas’s reaction made it very clear she shouldn’t. The moment she’d reached for the passenger door, he had snapped, telling her that seat was reserved for his wife. She would never forget how he’d shut her down when she joked, “Not even me? I’m not like those other women. We grew up together!” She’d teased him playfully. “Come on, Lukey, sav

    “It’s fine. No need to explain.”Aurora looked at the two of them standing together—the tall, striking man and the delicate, sweet-looking woman beside him.They looked oddly well-matched together.In that moment, it felt like something hollowed out inside her chest.She couldn’t even describe what she was feeling.Wendy stepped forward, her eyes quickly scanning Aurora’s face, a flicker of jealousy passing through her gaze. Then she smiled and said sweetly, “So you’re back, my dear sister-in-law.“Don’t get the wrong idea. There’s nothing between Lukey and me. We’ve known each other since we were kids. He brought me home because I didn’t have anywhere else to go.”Her hand was still linked around Lucas’ arm as she glanced up at him, urging him to speak. “Lukey, go on and explain things to her. She looks really upset.”“Since childhood?”Wendy blinked innocently. “Of course. Didn’t Lukey ever mention me to you?”Aurora raised an eyebrow.That one sentence lit a fire in her chest she c

    Wendy caught the sharp glint in Lucas’ eyes and finally realized that he was genuinely angry. She clicked her tongue and said casually, “Alright then. You two talk it out. Just don’t fight because of me.” The chill in Aurora’s gaze deepened. She gave a cold scoff and turned to leave, ready to walk out and give them all the space they needed. But Lucas didn’t let go. His hand remained firmly locked around her wrist. Aurora struggled, but his grip didn’t budge. Her voice turned icy. “Let go. Go be with her. Don’t touch me.” A vein pulsed at Lucas’s temple, his jaw tight as he stared at her lips moving—every word cutting deeper than the last. He wanted to shut her up right now. And behind them, Wendy stood with her back turned, the corners of her mouth lifting slowly into a smug smile. “Oh, my dear sister-in-law, this is only the beginning. You’ll get used to it, won’t you? Watching your man slip right through your fingers.”The thought made her giddy. Her steps grew l

    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

    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.
