Chapter 470

Penulis: Love Berries
Aurora felt unsettled, but she kept it to herself.

Since he was away, she figured she might as well enjoy a couple of nights of peace. At least she'd get some quiet time.

That night, she lay on the large bed, staring at the ceiling.

For the first time, she noticed just how big the master bedroom felt.

It was so big, as if the space around her was filled with nothing but silence—so vast and heavy it almost threatened to swallow her whole.

She didn’t even bother turning off the wall lights.

It hit her then—how terrifying habits could be.

Somewhere along the way, without even realizing it, she had grown used to Lucas’ presence.

He was like air, seeping into her world in places she couldn’t see, gradually surrounding her.

Aurora turned her head to glance at the other side of the bed.

When Lucas was there, it had felt a bit cramped.

But now, the bed seemed big enough to fit three of her.

Gone was the familiar back she used to lean on, the warmth she’d grown fond of.

    She swallowed hard, fury blazing in her chest.What exactly was this woman trying to do? She had finally gotten the chance to have a meal with Lucas—couldn’t she just behave for once?"Lukey, I was the one who invited you today. This is supposed to be our time together. Why does someone else have to butt in?"Wendy didn’t want to be interrupted. All she wanted in that moment was for Lucas to belong entirely to her.With that thought, she reached over, powered off his phone, and slipped it into her bag."Don’t worry. I’ll give it back after dinner."Her tone had a hint of temper. "After all, you wouldn’t want Aurora finding out about your real identity, would you?"Lucas’ lips pressed into a tight line. Anyone who knew him well would recognize the signs—he was on the verge of snapping.His fists clenched by his sides, again and again, until finally, for Kenneth’s sake, he refrained from laying a hand on her.If it had been any other woman, she’d have been six feet under by now, grass

    It didn’t matter. No matter what anyone said, Lucas was hers completely.As for Aurora? She could go wherever she wanted.“Order whatever you like,” Lucas said after sitting down, pushing the menu toward Wendy.No matter the situation, he was still a man who upheld basic courtesy. It was second nature, ingrained in him as deeply as the instinct to use a fork at dinner.“Great!”Wendy beamed. She knew that Lucas still cared about her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have handed her the menu first.It was obvious he wanted her preferences to take priority.Looking over the menu, she turned to the server. “Do you have any house specials you’d recommend?”The server, friendly and attentive, began listing the specials right away. “If you’re into bold flavors, our signature spicy sea bass is a standout—freshly caught and prepped just this morning.”“Oh, no. Something else, please. Lukey doesn’t eat spicy food.”Wendy replied quickly, glancing sideways at Lucas as she spoke, hoping he’d notice her th

    Wendy truly had no sense of self-preservation. Did she really not understand who she was dealing with?Trying to grab his arm? That was bold and reckless.Other than Aurora, no one else could get that close to Lucas. Who did she think she was?Desmond clenched his eyes shut, not wanting to witness what was about to unfold.And sure enough, Lucas’ gaze turned cold. Without hesitation, he seized Wendy’s wrist, his voice low and chilling. “What do you think you’re doing?”As he spoke, his grip tightened.Wendy winced in pain, her face twisting. “Lukey, that hurts! Let go! I’m sorry, I was wrong!”Hearing her cry out, Desmond actually let out a quiet sigh of relief.Now this was the Lucas Carter he knew—utterly uncompromising.If Lucas were the type to let just anyone close, then what was the point of everything they had done in Fortline? Those people wouldn’t have been eliminated so swiftly.Desmond shook his head slightly, musing to himself.Who would’ve thought a personal assistant co

    "Got it. Now go. And close the door behind you if there's nothing else," Aurora said flatly, her face emotionless.Seeing her that distant, Ian didn’t dare press further. He simply closed the door and turned around, only to be met with a dozen expectant faces.Facing all those concerned eyes, he cleared his throat. “Alright, nothing to see here. Let’s all get back to work, okay? There’s plenty to do. Don’t just stand around.”Despite his words, no one really felt at ease.Because deep down, they all knew that Aurora probably hadn’t eaten.And judging from Ian’s expression, they were right.As expected, she barely touched the food. After a few quick bites, she pushed it aside and went right back to her work.Between the heavy workload and her mother’s health issues, Aurora’s responsibilities had only multiplied. She no longer had the luxury of moving at her own pace.And that was exactly why she pushed herself so hard.She didn’t need to prove anything to anyone; she just wanted to sh

    “You do take care of yourself, but your wrist is completely bare—no accessories at all. And you always wear business attire every single day. You could switch it up once in a while! And also…”Under Aurora’s stunned gaze, Lucy suddenly let out a dramatic cry.“And how are you naturally this gorgeous?! You don’t even have visible pores!”“Your skin is flawless. How is that even possible? I’m so jealous!”Aurora couldn’t help but burst out laughing.This girl… how had she never noticed how adorable she was?“Wait, wait,” Lucy blinked, finally realizing, “Wasn’t I supposed to help you sort through those documents?”Aurora waved her off. “It’s alright. Thank you all for the kind offer. I truly appreciate it. And thank everyone else for me too.”“I’ll have my assistant send you all tea later. As for the work, it’s better I handle it myself.”The mention of milk tea made Lucy’s eyes sparkle like stars.Still, she looked a little concerned. “Okay, but if anything comes up, promise you’ll let

    Not long after, Desmond stepped out as well, perceptive enough to light a fresh cigarette for Lucas.“All cleaned up?”Lucas exhaled a trail of smoke, his tone casual.Desmond nodded. “Don’t worry, sir. Everything’s been taken care of. No loose ends.”“Let’s head back.”Lucas sounded displeased. These petty thugs had cost him two full days away from Aurora. It was utterly worthless. Nothing but a nuisance.He returned on the third day.In that time, Aurora had been swamped with work, especially after her mother’s sudden health issues. Her plate had filled up fast, and the pressure mounted sharply.She barely had the energy to think about Lucas, let alone anything else.Ian, though silent, had been watching everything unfold.“Miss Walton, maybe you should take a proper break?” he suggested gently.Aurora rubbed her temples. “I can’t. There’s still a mountain of things waiting for me.”She forced herself to stay focused, slipping on her glasses and turning her attention back to the sc
