All Chapters of Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

The fact that she even asked that question made it obvious—she was just waiting for something to go wrong, eager to swoop in and enjoy the fallout.With that attitude, there was no need to play nice anymore. People like her only got bolder the more you tolerated them, mistaking patience for fear. It was better to confront her head-on, let her know she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.As Aurora stared at the red light countdown in front of her, Lucas’ handsome face surfaced in her mind. Her grip on the steering wheel gradually tightened.So, did this man realize that Wendy was interested in him?And even knowing that, he still insisted on letting her stay in the house?Aurora took a deep breath. Sometimes, she really didn’t understand what went on in Lucas’ head. But now, it was becoming clearer—he was just hopelessly muddled.The two of them went about their own routines, coming and going separately. Occasionally, they would cross paths at home, but neither would speak to the o

Over the past few days, everyone at the company could tell their boss was in a foul mood.During meetings, no one dared to even breathe too loudly. Every employee walked in on edge, nerves stretched thin.Even Desmond, who had just returned from Fortline, kept his mouth shut in front of Lucas. For all his authority as a special assistant, he knew exactly where the lines were drawn.And with a temper like Lucas’, it was obvious his sudden mood swings had everything to do with Aurora.Still, watching Lucas bury himself in work without saying a word, Desmond didn’t dare bring it up. When it came to marital problems, no one could step in—it was up to the couple to sort it out themselves.And just as Desmond had guessed, though Lucas looked focused on the documents in front of him, his mind kept drifting far from the office.What was Aurora doing right now?His grip on the file tightened at the thought.His jaw clenched, brows drawn. His mind was a mess, a tangle of frustration and unce

By the time she finally looked at her phone, half an hour had already passed.Aurora blinked in surprise at the two unread messages sitting quietly on her screen.“When are you coming back?”“I made your favorite mille-feuille pancake. Don’t be mad—come home and try it?”The messages were sent twenty-something minutes apart, but the last one had come through thirty minutes ago.Staring at them, Aurora couldn’t quite name the emotion that hit her—just that something deep inside her felt unexpectedly shaken.She had assumed Lucas would stay cold and distant, that this silent war between them would drag on until he finally gave up and went back to the woman he once loved.In truth, she’d been avoiding him these past few days. Avoiding the confrontation and reality. She didn’t want to know what Lucas was thinking or doing. Part of her had even been bracing herself for divorce papers to arrive.But now, seeing these messages, it dawned on her—was he not angry?Had he actually set his pride

Even so, Aurora merely raised an eyebrow without saying a word.A part of her still had doubts—were these two putting on a show for her?But she didn’t call them out. She simply sat there, watching them trade words, silent and unreadable.Lucas glanced at her expression, that slight, amused curve of her lips, and suddenly felt unsure of himself.Even Wendy was thrown off. What was wrong with her today? Why wasn’t she reacting?She had been blatantly provoking her, and yet Aurora remained calm as ever?But Aurora acted like none of it mattered, quietly enjoying the mille-feuille pancake in front of her.Wendy asked hesitantly, “Aurora, you’re not saying anything… does that mean you agree with me?”Lucas shot her a warning look. He’d finally seen through Wendy lately—how restless she’d become.He had already warned her once, and yet she clearly hadn’t learned her lesson.Nervously, he turned back to Aurora, afraid she might be upset by Wendy’s words.“Rora, Wendy just talks without th

But Lucas stood his ground. “I don’t believe you.”“What is there not to believe?” Aurora frowned, her brows drawing together. She couldn’t believe Lucas was actually being this childish.He met her gaze, dead serious. “Unless you kiss me.”Aurora’s eyes widened, completely stunned that such a ridiculous line had just come out of Lucas' mouth.Was this really the same man she knew?“You… you’re serious?”Lucas looked into her startled eyes. Was she embarrassed? Maybe. But with her so close, the temptation was too strong to resist, and if it meant getting what he wanted, he wasn’t above playing a little dirty.He nodded solemnly. “Dead serious.”To prove his point, he even leaned in slightly, presenting his perfectly chiseled face with the solemnity of a man making a life-or-death request.Aurora felt the pressure of his hand around her wrist. Resigned, she gave in and pressed a quick, messy kiss to the corner of his lips without even looking.“There. Happy? Now let me go, I need t
