Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 251

Chapter 251

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 other.

Even when they ran into each other, Aurora would silently step aside, clearly avoiding him.

Every now and then, she would spend a couple of nights at the Walton home.

Grace had noticed something was off.

It wasn’t like Aurora to suddenly come back home–something must have happened between her and her husband.

Tessa suspected the same.

So, during dinner, she couldn’t help but ask, “Sis, did you and Lucas have a fight?”

Aurora’s hand holding the fork paused. Even Grace looked toward her upon hearing that question.

Though she didn’t approve of Tessa asking so bluntly, she couldn’t deny she was curious too.

Ever since Aurora secured those two seemingly impossible projects, Grace’s attitude toward her had subtly shifted.

Deep down, she felt that her daughter was no longer the same persoTshe used to be.

Aurora paused for a moment, then quickly responded, “Sister, have you forgotten how your husband treated you at that banquet?

“You were shouting so loudly, I’m pretty sure everyone at the event heard it.”

Tessa’s expression darkened in an instant, her face cycling through emotions like storm clouds rolling in before a downpour.

“What’s that supposed to mean? I was just being kind and showing concern. Was that wrong?”

“Thanks for the concern, but if you’ve got time to worry about me, maybe you should focus on patching things up with your

husband instead.”

Aurora’s tone was calm and detached, her expression unchanged, but Tessa was fuming–eyes wide, lips twitching

That wretched girl really knew how to hit where it hurt.

She didn’t even want to remember that banquet.
