All Chapters of Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Chapter 1971 - Chapter 1980

As she spoke, Grace’s voice caught with emotion.Even Arnold felt his chest tighten. He knew she was speaking from the heart this time.No matter what, this was her own daughter standing in front of her.Sometimes, Arnold thought, people made emotions far more complicated than they needed to be.If one could truly see things clearly, many problems would unravel on their own.After all, between a mother and her daughter, how could there be grudges that truly lasted overnight?Lucas, standing to the side, was just as surprised when he heard those words.He had always believed his mother-in-law held back because pride kept her from expressing her feelings.Only now did he hear it plainly, spoken without disguise.The realization caught him off guard.He had always thought Grace was someone who never spoke unless forced to, someone who guarded her emotions fiercely.Yet here she was, laying everything bare.The thought made him lift his gaze, seeing her with new respect.This was something

Aurora stared at Grace, utterly confused about what she was trying to do.Their car was parked right outside.Where exactly was she planning to walk them to?In the end, Aurora let out a quiet sigh and gently declined.“Forget it. You don’t need to walk us out. Lucas and I will manage. Besides, your health isn’t in a state where you should be moving around like this.”The moment she said that, Grace’s eyes lit up.She knew Aurora still cared, deep down. She wouldn’t be that heartless.Tears welled up instantly in Grace’s eyes.A biological daughter truly was different.Aurora was her own flesh and blood, not someone else’s child who only cared about inheritance and money.In the end, it was her own fault for being foolish. Why hadn’t she realized this sooner?If she had understood back then, perhaps none of this would have happened.Life was shaped choice by choice, after all. What it became depended entirely on the path taken.The thought filled Grace with regret.If only she hadn’t b

Her heart ached all the same. After all, Grace was the woman who had given birth to her and raised her.And now they were parting ways, with the likelihood that they would see each other far less in the future.They were supposed to be the closest people in the world—how had things ended up like this?Lucas hadn’t started the car yet. The moment he settled into the driver’s seat, he noticed Aurora’s distracted expression.He couldn’t help asking, “If there’s something on your mind, just tell me. It’s okay.”“It’s nothing,” Aurora said softly. “I just feel inexplicably unsettled.”Lucas was momentarily taken aback when Aurora opened up so suddenly.In the past, she rarely spoke honestly about her feelings.She always kept her thoughts buried deep, believing she could process everything on her own.She never wanted to burden him with her worries.But now, she had shared them without hesitation and that realization filled Lucas with quiet joy.It felt like he had taken another step closer

She could not put all the weight of everything on herself.If that were truly the case, would Lucas not be exhausted?Because of this realization, Aurora chose to stand by Lucas’ side, thinking things through for him in everything she did.Aurora knew very well that Lucas had already given so much; he was not someone who took kindness for granted.In Aurora’s eyes, these debts of gratitude could never be fully repaid in a lifetime, which was why she wanted to stay by Lucas’ side and advance or retreat together with him.Rather than letting all the pressure fall on Lucas alone.They were both just ordinary people, meant to support each other in this world. If everything had to be this exhausting, it would not be a good thing for either of them.As for Lucas, after listening to Aurora’s words, he fully understood how she felt.Once Aurora spoke these things aloud, there was no longer any real issue left.He understood that she spoke out of concern for him, so why should he keep dwelling

His steadiness, calm judgment, and the decisiveness with which he handled things all gave her immense strength.Without Lucas by her side, there were times when Aurora would not even dare to act on her own.These were never things one person could accomplish easily.Aurora let out a quiet sigh and said to Lucas, “Alright, let’s stop talking about this. We should head back.”She knew very well how much time they had already lost on the way back.They both understood this clearly, and with other matters still waiting, they could not afford to linger any longer.Lucas thought the same. Neither of them continued dwelling on it, and he drove them straight home.After they returned, Aurora did not waste any time.She planned to sort things out the next day and head back to the studio to arrange the work ahead.When Lucas heard this plan, he frowned instinctively.“Why the rush?”Aurora smiled helplessly.“I’m not actually rushing. It’s just been so long already. If I don’t go back to the com
