Semua Bab Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO: Bab 2811 - Bab 2820

It seemed her dear mother really could be ruthless when it came to her.Grace acted on whatever decision suited her at the moment.To prevent her plans from being exposed, she hadn't even hesitated to dismiss Arnold after all the years he spent with the Walton family.Aurora let out a silent, bitter laugh.Faced with a mother like that, she honestly didn't know what she still had left to hold on to.Grace never treated her particularly well.If anything, the only person Grace had ever truly loved was herself.Aurora couldn't understand why she chose to have a daughter in the first place.If she cared only about herself, she could have lived entirely for her own sake.Why bring a child into the world?If she never wanted to love that child, what was the point?Was it really nothing more than obligation?And as for Tessa, she never had to become part of their lives in the first place.In the end, was Grace really so devoted to the man she considered the love of her life?The thought stru

Aurora added, “And I've always thought of Arnold as my own grandfather. He's always been very good to me.”The moment she finished speaking, Lucas walked over to Arnold.“Arnold, it's a pleasure to meet you.”He spoke with complete sincerity and extended his hand.Arnold lowered his head and stared at the man's fingers.For a moment, he didn't know what to say.Was this really the man everyone in Ravenshore spoke of with such fear?The man people compared to the Grim Reaper himself?Why was there none of that cold arrogance people always talked about?More importantly, Arnold was only an employee.How could someone like him deserve such courtesy from Lucas?“Mr. Carter, it's a pleasure to meet you too.”Arnold spoke politely.Before reaching out, he discreetly rubbed his hand against his clothes several times.He was afraid the roughness and dust on his hands might dirty Lucas'.Originally, Arnold intended nothing more than a brief handshake.But Lucas had other ideas.His right hand c

“Miss Aurora, you and Mr. Carter are truly wonderful people.“Don't worry. If I'm going to serve as your steward, I'll give it everything I have.“As long as I'm still standing and able to work, I'll do everything in my power to look after this home.“Miss Aurora, as long as I'm alive, my loyalty belongs to you.”A moment ago, Aurora was smiling.Now the smile froze on her face.“No, no, Arnold. You’re taking things too far.”She quickly took hold of his arm and tried to stop him.“I just want you to stay here comfortably and without any pressure.“Honestly, it's usually just Lucas and me at home.“There's not that much work to do.“So you'll have plenty of free time for yourself.”“Our neighborhood is a little secluded, but there are several parks nearby.“A lot of retirees gather there to play chess and chat.“You can go for walks whenever you feel like it and enjoy yourself.”Aurora knew better than anyone how hard Arnold worked for the Walton family all these years.There were coun

Lucas took Aurora's hand and placed it against his chest.“Feel it. Isn't my heart beating ridiculously fast?”It was the first time Aurora had seen such a boyish side of him.“Oh, please. You're about to be a father. Stop saying such silly things.”“So what?”Lucas didn't care in the slightest.If something made him happy, he was more than willing to say it out loud.These days, there were too many things in life that couldn't be explained.Whether he believed in fate or not, it seemed impossible to ignore.And lately, more and more people around him had started behaving in ways he never expected.The people who were supposed to be closest to him no longer seemed as trustworthy as before.That reality had forced him to become more cautious.There were more things to watch for and guard against, just like Edwin.For years, Edwin seemed perfectly normal around him.There had never been any obvious signs of trouble.Yet the things Edwin did recently were beyond Lucas' understanding.Auro

“Ma’am, Arnold finished packing and left sometime around three or four in the afternoon.“I saw it with my own eyes. Arnold hadn't gotten very far before Miss Aurora arrived.”The employee feigned confusion.“If they hadn't already been in contact, how could Miss Aurora have arrived so quickly to pick him up?“After all, the Walton estate isn't exactly easy to get to.”Grace wasn't a fool.She could clearly hear the attempt to stir trouble in his words.But what made it worse was that every part of it sounded plausible.Every sentence rang uncomfortably true.“Then why didn't you tell me at the time?”Grace practically forced the words through clenched teeth.She knew exactly what the man was trying to do.Even so, she wanted an answer.If he told her immediately, she could have gone outside and confronted Aurora then and there.Instead, she was only hearing about it now.And now all she could do was sit here after the fact.Grace knew perfectly well how Aurora felt about her these day
