Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Chapter 7
When he mentioned Megan, Aurora’s lips curled slightly. If she really went through with this marriage, she couldn’t imagine how Megan would react. But then again… Lucas’ face alone made it hard not to waver. She needed to marry someone she didn’t dislike, someone with good character. Honestly, Lucas was the best option. Aurora’s red lips curved into a smile as she blinked playfully. "Lukey, I don’t think I have a reason to say no." "Then tomorrow at 10 a.m., at the city hall," Lucas said, meeting her gaze. Aurora nodded. It seemed he had other matters to attend to, as he turned to leave. But just as he was about to step away, he paused. His brows furrowed slightly, his tone casual but pointed. "About Joseph Hunt…" "It’s over," Aurora lowered her gaze, recalling Joseph’s arrogance earlier. "Don’t worry, I’m not the type to go back to an ex." Only then did Lucas turn and walk away. Aurora watched his retreating figure, feeling an odd sense of disbelief. She was

It was an unrestrained kiss—deep and intense. She gasped softly, but he captured her breath entirely, feeding it back into her lips. Instinctively, she clutched the hem of his shirt. Only when her legs grew weak did Lucas finally stop. He gazed down at her, his voice low and husky. "Did you really think you could just walk away after sleeping with me? Mrs. Carter, your skills are still lacking."Aurora was never one to back down. The corners of her red lips lifted slightly before she suddenly pressed a kiss to his Adam’s apple. Feeling his body tense for a brief moment, she pulled back half a step, her lazy smile carrying a hint of provocation. "Mr. Carter, you're not that impressive either." Lucas' gaze darkened slightly, but Aurora knew when to stop. After exchanging contact information with Lucas, she moved into his home. The house was in a prime location. Before moving in, she mentioned registering the marriage to her mother, though she hadn't brought up Lucas. Gr

He wanted to take back all the gifts he gave her after a breakup?Aurora couldn’t help but laugh at Joseph’s pettiness.She had always thought he was just a little sleazy, but she hadn’t expected him to be this cheap and stingy.Thinking about how she was once with a man like that, she felt utterly disgusted.When she returned to her new home, she immediately started digging through her things, determined to gather up every single gift Joseph had ever given her.Just then, Lucas walked in."What are you looking for?" His voice was calm and indifferent as he glanced at her.Aurora paused, then casually replied, "Settling debts from a breakup. My ex wants all his gifts back. I've never met a man this desperate for scraps in my entire life."There was a hint of frustration in her tone, her striking face carrying traces of annoyance.The next second, her phone chimed.A bank notification popped up, informing her that $40,000 had been deposited with a memo stating it was a gift.Lucas cast

Aurora hung up abruptly before Megan could finish speaking.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a fleeting trace of amusement in Lucas’ gaze.Megan’s shocked outburst echoed in her mind, and for some reason, a hint of embarrassment crept in, especially when her gaze, entirely by accident, landed on his collarbone.He was dangerously tempting.Her ears burned. She cleared her throat. "Do you need something?""It’s late. I saw you were still up." Lucas’s lips curved slightly, the usual coolness in his features softening just a touch. "Chatting with Megan?""Yeah, just small talk," she replied vaguely.Lucas’ gaze flicked to the faint redness on her ears, and suddenly, he spoke. "Shouldn’t Megan be calling you her cousin-in-law now?"Aurora choked at the thought.That did make things… a little complicated.Lucas’ lips curved into a subtle smirk. He leaned down, his fingers tilting her chin upward, his voice low and smooth."It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t. But, Mrs. Carter… it’s

"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

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

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

“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

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

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

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

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
