Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

“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 ele

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 couldn’t quite suppress.

Lucas sensed something was off.

He pulled his arm free and moved toward Aurora, trying to explain.

“And what exactly would your Lukey need to explain to me?”

Her voice was calm now, the fire in her eyes banked beneath a layer of ice.

That calm, controlled elegance and distant, untouchable grace had slipped back into place.

And Lucas knew her too well not to recognize it for what

it was.

The calmer she seemed, the worse it actually was.

In these past days together, he’d come to understand that much.

Wendy’s eyes turned red at the corners as she put on her best innocent act. “You sound so scary. If you don’t want me staying here, I can talk to Lukey about leaving.”

Aurora looked at the woman before her, and things began to click.

So, this was it–this overly pretentious woman was probably his so–called true love.

That could be the only explanation for why he never mentioned her.

He called her his sister?

More like a “sweetheart–in–disguise.”

She glanced over Lucas again, her gaze tinged with disdain.

“So, this is your taste in women? You really thought bringing someone like her home would get a rise out of me? Pathetic,” she

thought.

“And what exactly about me scares you?” Aurora gave a short, humorless laugh.

Just a few words, and Wendy had painted herself as the picture of innocence.

“I know you’re upset, but Lukey was only worried about my safety out there…”

Lucas chimed in quickly, “She’s just staying here for a little while, Aurora. She’ll leave after some time.”

“That won’t be necessary,” Aurora said firmly, her voice cool and unwavering.

“Your childhood sweetheart can stay as long as she likes. I’ll go. I’ll make room for the two of you.”

Wendy could barely contain her delight, the corners of her mouth twitching with barely hidden glee.
