Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258

“You…”

Wendy had wanted to say more, but the moment her eyes met Lucas‘ cold, unyielding expression, the words died in her throat.

She knew he meant it. He was fully capable of following through on that threat.

Whatever footing she once had here was gone.

These days, Lucas only tolerated her because of her brother.

Things between them weren’t what they used to be.

It was exactly because she understood that, that Wendy chose to back down.

“I get it. I won’t do it again,” she murmured, lowering her head

She had no choice but to retreat for now.

This was still Ravenshore.

If she caused a scene, her brother would never let her hear the end of it.

Lucas let out a cold snort. “This is your last warning.”

With that, he turned and headed back to the bedroom.

Wendy stared at the mess left on the table.

Her thoughts drifted to the wager she’d made with her brother and her hands slowly curled into fists.

She wasn’t going to lose. She couldn’t afford to.

Taking a deep breath, Wendy narrowed her eyes.

There was no way she’d let someone like Aurora get in her way.

If that woman wanted to fight for Lucas, she better be ready because Wendy would snatch him back the moment she had the

chance.

Determination burned in her gaze, fiercer than ever.

Meanwhile, Lucas stepped into the bedroom just as the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

His thoughts turned to what Aurora had said earlier.

Was she jealous?

A flicker of amusement and something deeper passed through his dark eyes.

Inside the bathroom, Aurora had just finished her shower.

She turned off the tap and reached for her clothes, only to find the laundry basket completely empty.

She sighed, rubbing her temples. How could she forget to bring a change of clothes?

Left with no other option, she grabbed a towel, wrapped it securely around her body, and cracked the door open.

The moment she opened the door, Aurora was startled to see Lucas standing right outside.

She let out a soft gasp. “What are you doing here?”

She furrowed her brows, Instinctively crossing her arms over her chest.

Wasn’t he supposed to be outside?

Why had he suddenly come into the bedroom? And wasn’t his precious true love still sitting in the living room?

Lucas had come intending to explain what Wendy had said, but the moment his eyes fell on Aurora, skin still damp, flushed

cheeks, towel barely clinging to her curves, his mind blanked.

“L… Rora, can we talk?” he asked, voice hoarse as he struggled to pull his gaze away, forcing himself to focus elsewhere.
