Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1937

Because of that, she had learned to hide her emotions.

But Sean didn’t understand this at all.

He actually believed Grace had come around.

“See, Grace? I told you that we’re the perfect match,” he said smugly.

As he spoke, he took a few steps toward her.

A self-satisfied smile sat on his face.

He was certain she wouldn’t hurt him.

That confidence was exactly why he dared to approach her so boldly.

In Sean’s mind, reconciling with Grace was only a matter of time.

When he talked about running far away with Tessa, it was only so they could return once Grace’s anger cooled.

He was giving her time to realize that deep down, she still loved him.

That was why he had decided to leave with Tessa in the first place.

As long as Grace was given enough time, she would come to her senses.

But Tessa didn’t see it that way.

Watching the smug look on Sean’s face, a growing sense of unease settled in her chest.

Grace was clearly furious.

So why was he still so confident, walking straight toward her?

Tessa couldn’t understand it at all.

Was this some kind of unspoken understanding between them?

She had lived with Grace for so many years.

She knew exactly what kind of person she was.

On the surface, Grace looked calm.

But inside, she was seething.

Grace knew very well that what Sean and Tessa had done this time was wrong.

He knew exactly why Grace had once been drawn to him—this face of his.

So, he chose to use it against her now.

In his experience, no woman was immune to it.

He had relied on this very face to charm countless women abroad.

Tessa’s biological mother had been one of them.

Because of that, Sean knew all too well just how lethal his looks could be.

And now, he was turning that same weapon on Grace.

He wanted to see whether the woman who had once loved him could still resist.

Time had passed, but his features had only gained the polish of age.

Nothing drastic had changed, only an added air of mature confidence.

Sean was certain of one thing: no woman could escape this face of his, especially not Grace, who had once fallen for it.
