Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Aurora shut the door behind her, completely unaware of Tessa’s furious muttering downstairs.

Not that it would’ve mattered–she couldn’t care less.

Tessa was only acting this arrogant because their mother wasn’t home.

Without anyone to answer her, Tessa sat fuming alone in the living room, her cheeks flushed with anger.

She raised her hand, ready to sweep everything off the coffee table in a fit of rage when Grace walked through the front door.

“What’s wrong, Tessa? Your face is all red. Are you feeling unwell?”

No matter what her daughter had done at those business events, Grace couldn’t bring herself to stay mad.

Tessa was still her child, the one she’d doted on since she was little.

Even if she was upset, she couldn’t truly be angry with her.

Tessa was briefly caught off guard.

She quickly pulled herself together and responded to her mother’s concern.

“I’m fine, Mom, really. Aurora just got back, and I was a little worried something might’ve happened to her out there. I guess I

overreacted.”

Grace frowned. “Aurora’s back?”

“Yes,” Tessa said with a quick nod.

“She’s upstairs. I tried talking to her just now, but she ignored me. She looked a little off.”

Grace’s heart skipped a beat.

Without another word, she hurried upstairs.

Tessa followed close behind, calling out with concern, “Mom, slow down! Be careful!”

The composed, graceful woman of the past was nowhere to be seen.

Right now, Grace was nothing more than a worried mother.

She reached Aurora’s door and knocked firmly.

“Bang bang bang ”

“Aurora, open up. You’re home, aren’t you? If you were coming back, why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve picked you up myself.”

Grace didn’t jump straight to questions–she softened her voice, coaxing her daughter to open the door.

Chapter 168

Hearing the commotion outside her door, Aurora immediately understood what was going on,

It had to be Tessa running her mouth.

Otherwise, Grace wouldn’t have come looking for her the moment she stepped through the door.

Aurora let out a quiet sigh and got up to open the door.

“Mom, I was just about to sleep. Is something wrong?”

Grace had been ready to knock again, but she hadn’t expected Aurora to open up so easily.

Seeing her already in pajamas, clearly about to rest, whatever she’d wanted to say suddenly caught in her throat.

“I… it’s nothing, really. I just thought, since you came back so suddenly, maybe you’d want some of your favorite home–cooked

dishes?”

Aurora stayed calm. “Mom, I’m tired. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
