Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412

Grace’s attitude toward her had changed drastically, so much so that it felt like she was facing an entirely different person.

This time, Aurora was determined not to let the opportunity slip away.

She had to hold on tight and make sure things didn’t end up the way they had before.

Grace glanced at Aurora, who now seemed a little more obedient than before.

There were things she wanted to say, but the words stuck in her throat.

Some things and people were best left to be changed by time.

But the matter with Tessa…

Just as she opened her mouth, Grace noticed Lucas and Leonard standing nearby.

Her gaze dimmed, and in the end, she said nothing.

After all, there were outsiders in the room.

Tessa was the daughter she had raised from childhood.

No matter what had happened, she didn’t want to discuss such things in front of others. What if it affected Aurora’s emotions?

Aurora caught on quickly, following her mother’s line of sight toward Lucas and Leonard.

Lucas and Leonard exchanged a giance- Aurora’s meaning was clear.

Lucas felt a stab of discomfort.

They were family, weren’t they? So why did it suddenly feel like he was the outsider? If anyone should be asked to leave, it should’ve been Leonard.

But Lucas had the sense to read the room.

He spoke up first. “Now that Mom’s awake, you should spend some time with her. Mr. Knight and I will head out and see if we can find something light for her to eat.”

“Okay. Get something gentle on the stomach.”

Lucas gave a small nod in acknowledgment, and the two of them left together.

For once, Leonard caught on without needing it spelled out.

He didn’t argue or make a scene.

It wasn’t until they stepped outside that he gave Lucas a sideways glance, his tone tinged with amusement, “Didn’t expect you to be so perceptive.” Lucas simply smiled without replying.

Leonard rolled his eyes. “Clearly, your mother–in–law just thought you were the unnecessary one.

“You say that,” Lucas said with a shrug. “But you’re not exa

ess here either, are you?”

“I only stepped in because I thought it’d be rude for a guest like you to be asked to leave alone. So, I came with you, out of courtesy.”

Leonard opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He couldn’t argue. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, Lucas had a point.

Locas had a ring and a title he was officially part of the family.

Leonard, on the other hand, had nothing

Left with no choice, Leonard followed Lucas reluctantly toward the cafeteria.

After the two men had left, Autora turned to face with a gentle smile. “Moin, day’re gone now. If there’s something you want to say, you can tell me directly.” Grace looked slightly surprised “You picked up on that?”

Aurora saniled knowingly “Of course I’m not that dueless”

“And besides, I figured you wanted to have a private dat, probably not something to share while they were around
