Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246

Her feelings for him clearly had never changed.

That realization darkened Aurora’s gaze.

No wonder Lucas had agreed to let Wendy move in..

So, it had all been planned from the start.

Thinking back, Aurora felt like a complete fool.

There was no such thing as a purely platonic relationship between a man and a woman.

That was something she n

now understood better than anyone.

Lucas shut the door and, seeing her hair still damp, reached for a towel. “Rora, lle down. I’ll help you dry it.”

“No need.”

Her voice was cold, and she didn’t even look at him, treating him like a stranger.

That was when Lucas knew for sure–something was seriously wrong.

She’d been angry when she came out of the bathroom, but now it was worse.

And it was all directed at him.

He wanted to explain.

“Rora, between me and her… we…

“Stop,” Aurora cut him off. “I don’t want to hear it. I’m not curious about any of it.”

He stepped forward, trying to take her hand, but she pulled away faster than he could reach her.

“There’s nothing going on. I’ve always seen her as a sister.”

Aurora let out a bitter laugh. “Like I said, it’s none of my business. I’m sleeping on the couch tonight.”

Lucas clenched his fists, a heavy sense of helplessness weighing down on him.

This wasn’t the first time or the second. At this point, he didn’t even know what else he could say.

“Don’t. I’ll sleep on the couch,” he muttered.

There was nothing more he could explain, nothing more she wanted to hear.

With that, he turned and headed for the living room.

His tall frame curled awkwardly on the small sofa, looking almost comically out of place.

Aurora didn’t care. She went straight to bed.

It wasn’t like she’d asked for any of this.

And besides, there was a perfectly good bed.

He was the one who chose not to sleep in it.

That night, neither of them got a wink of sleep.

The next morning.

Lucas got up and returned to the bedroom, planning to talk things through with Aurora.

But when he pushed the door open, he froze.

The room had been tidied from top to bottom–everything in place, not a trace left behind. She must’ve left early.

His gaze darkened, and his hand slowly clenched around the doorknob.

Their conflict remained unresolved.
