Chapter 257
Even so, Aurora merely raised an eyebrow without saying a word.
A part of her still had doubts–were these two putting on a show for her?
But she didn’t call them out.
She simply sat there, watching them trade words, silent and unreadable.
Lucas glanced at her expression, that slight, amused curve of her lips, and suddenly felt unsure of himself.
Even Wendy was thrown off.
What was wrong with her today? Why wasn’t she reacting?
She had been blatantly provoking her, and yet Aurora remained calm as ever?
But Aurora acted like none of it mattered, quietly enjoying the mille–feuille pancake in front of her.
Wendy asked hesitantly, “Aurora, you’re not saying anything… does that mean you agree with me?”
Lucas shot her a warning look.
He’d finally seen through Wendy lately–how restless she’d become.
He had already warned her once, and yet she clearly hadn’t learned her lesson.
Nervously, he turned back to Aurora, afraid she might be upset by Wendy’s words.
“Rora, Wendy just talks without thinking. She didn’t mean anything by it, don’t…”
“Of course I’m not upset,” Aurora replied with a bright, easy smile.
“Why would I take offense? You’re the one who asked me to come back.”
Then she looked at Wendy, her eyes laced with disdain. “You said a lot just now. But this pancake? The first bite was mine.
“And your Lukey? He made it for me. You’re just an afterthought.”
With that, Aurora leisurely popped the final bite into her mouth.
Every move she made was graceful and effortless–so poised it was almost mesmerizing.
Wendy trembled with anger, speechless with frustration.
No matter what she wanted to say, she couldn’t deny the truth in Aurora’s words.
All of it–every last detail–was indeed prepared for Aurora, even the very first bite.

The thought left Wendy feeling uneasy, especially when she met Aurora’s gaze–her confidence instantly wavered.
Seeing Wendy speechless, Aurora simply smiled and said nothing more.
After all, she’d already made her point.
There was no need to say anything else.
Lucas glanced at Aurora, and deep down, he couldn’t help but agree with her.

But she rose from her seat without a word, not caring what either of them felt, and calmly made her way back to the bedroom.
The sharp bang of the door closing snapped Wendy out of her daze.
