Chapter 281

Author: Love Berries
Crystal had already worked out a mental blueprint on how she was going to "discipline" Aurora once she married into the family.

Meanwhile, Aurora was in her office, handling corporate matters, when she suddenly sneezed.

A wave of irritation stirred in her chest.

Something felt off—an uneasiness she couldn’t shake, like something was about to happen.

She gave her head a light shake, trying to clear the clutter in her mind.

There was no point getting distracted by meaningless thoughts.

They only dragged down her mood.

Right now, her head was filled with one thing—expanding projects and growing Walton Corporation.

She didn’t want to think about anything else.

Steadying herself, she refocused on the project documents in front of her.

But before long, her temples started to throb. That sense of unease only intensified.

What on earth was going on?

Unable to concentrate anymore, she stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing out at the traffic below.

Only then did a sliver

    Just as she lit the stove to boil water, a sound came from the entryway.Moments later, a deep, husky voice filled with displeasure followed. “You should’ve left this to me. Why bother doing it yourself?”Aurora froze, staring at Lucas’ tall figure as he walked toward her step by step, caught off guard.It wasn’t until he reached her side, his warm woody scent surrounding her, that she finally snapped back to her senses.“Oh, I saw you weren’t home, so I thought I’d just cook something simple to fill my stomach.”Aurora quickly averted her gaze from his.His dark eyes were deep and consuming—if she wasn’t careful, she’d lose herself in them.That was exactly why she didn’t dare meet his eyes directly.She knew far too well the pull this man had.Lucas found her dazed look irresistibly cute, like a startled little rabbit.He reached out, ruffling her soft hair, and chuckled. “Alright, let me handle this. Do you want tomato beef pasta or tomato and egg pasta?”Hearing his gentle voice, A

    At that moment, Daniel had felt something was off.After all, this contract was supposed to be under their control—so why did it now depend on Aurora’s decision?If word got out, wouldn’t it be a joke?The moment he voiced his concern, the person on the other end of the line snapped harshly, “What, are you questioning our boss’ orders?”Hearing that, Daniel instantly fell silent.He dared not say another word.As for Joseph, he didn’t even bring him up again.It was just bad luck for him.Since the higher-ups had spoken, it was no longer Daniel’s concern.A pity about the “gift” Joseph had sent over, but Daniel figured he’d just have to look for opportunities elsewhere later.Clicking his tongue, he drove back to the office.…Meanwhile, on Aurora’s side, even after getting into the car she still felt as if it weren’t real.Her eyes were full of doubt as she turned to Ian. “Do you really think we’ve secured the deal?”“Of course, Miss Aurora. What are you still worried about?”Driving,

    Aurora was a little stunned. She glanced at Ian, who wore the same shocked expression as hers.Clearly, they were thinking the exact same thing.Aurora cleared her throat lightly, trying to cover her awkwardness.“Um… shouldn’t you take a closer look at the contract?”Her hesitation was obvious, and Ian could hear it in her tone.After all, she had never once heard of Daniel being this straightforward.Inwardly, Ian couldn’t help grumbling—had Daniel taken the wrong medicine today? He was nothing like the man people talked about online.And honestly, with this level of bluntness, it was enough to shock people for a hundred years.Daniel scratched the back of his head awkwardly. Was he overdoing it?But aside from acting this way, he really didn’t know what else to do.“No need. I trust your company’s integrity. No problem at all—let’s just agree on a time to sign the contract.”With a grand wave of his hand, he expressed full confidence in Walton Corporation.Aurora, however, remained

    Both of them had prepared themselves, convinced that Daniel would be difficult to deal with. But the next second, he stood up with surprising enthusiasm. “You must be from Walton Corporation?”He turned his gaze to Aurora, his smile growing even more ingratiating. “And you must be the general manager of Walton Corporation. Truly, meeting you in person surpasses everything I’ve heard—you’re so young and accomplished.”Aurora raised a brow, genuinely surprised by his reaction.“I’ve also been curious about you, Mr. Lewis. Now that we’ve met, it seems the rumors don’t quite match the reality.”She followed his words smoothly, a faint, composed smile resting on her delicate face.Clearly, his unexpected warmth piqued her interest.Daniel, of course, knew he was acting differently than usual, but he pretended not to notice her remark and eagerly invited them to sit down.Aurora exchanged a quick glance with Ian, and neither of them stood on ceremony.If—for whatever reason—he was choosing

    “What’s the name of the partner on that project?”Lucas asked casually, keeping his tone even.In his mind, Vanguard Group also seemed to be bidding on a project recently—he wondered if it was the same one.Aurora’s hand, holding her fork, paused midair. She was surprised—why was Lucas suddenly so interested in her projects?Why hadn’t she noticed this before?“Lucas, are you really just curious?”Her eyes narrowed slightly, suspicion flickering in her gaze. Something about him didn’t feel right.He froze for only a moment before smoothing his expression, lips curving to lighten the mood. “I’m just curious about anything that concerns you. I want to be closer to you. I don’t want there to be distance between us—I’d like to be the one you can confide in.”Aurora’s lips parted, his words leaving her momentarily speechless.Had she been overthinking everything?“It’s the south city land project. The partner’s name is Daniel Lewis.”At the sound of that name, Lucas’ hand, still holding c

    He glanced down and reminded himself to hold back a little longer.When he heard the bathroom door close, he returned to the kitchen to finish what he had left undone.Cooking was one of the few things he truly enjoyed.There was a sense of reassurance in preparing food with his own hands, especially when Aurora loved eating the dishes he made—it filled him with quiet contentment.Only then did he feel as though he truly occupied both her body and her heart, until she became accustomed to his presence.When Aurora came out of the bathroom, she found the table already set, every dish laid out neatly.He had taken off his apron and even served her a plate of pasta.“All done? Come eat.”Aurora sat beside him. Ever since her month in the hospital, he had become even more attentive, caring for her in every possible way.Whatever she did, he seemed to keep her within his sight, as though only then could he feel secure.At first, Aurora found this side of Lucas a little hard to adjust to.Bu
