Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 185

< Billionaire’s Regret After Losing H…

Chapter 185 Giving Him More

Aurelia had never wanted to marry Dominic in the first place.

She’d been clear-eyed about their differences-an orphan versus a Hawthorne heir.

Therefore, she’d rejected him repeatedly, but Dominic had chased her all over the world, refusing to take no for

an answer.

Dominic was completely wasted now, his words slurring.

“But even though that woman turned into such a monster… I still love her! Goddamn it, I still love her!

“If she dares to be with Grant, I’ll kill him! I’ll fucking kill him!”

Ethan and Lucas cringed. His voice was like nails on a chalkboard, harsh and unpleasant.

Seeing Dominic finish his beer, Ethan popped open another and thrust it into his hand. “Drink.”

Giving him more?”

“He’s not passed out yet. You wanna listen to this shit all night?” Ethan whispered sharply.

They couldn’t leave him-not here, by the river.

If they did, and Dominic did something stupid like jump in while drunk, they’d never forgive themselves.

But listening to his rambling was pure torture.

Ethan forced two more bottles down Dominic’s throat, getting him so drunk he could barely mutter a coherent

word.

Even so, he kept slurring Aurelia’s name over and over, like a broken record.

Lucas looked at Ethan, impressed despite himself. “Never knew you had it in you to be this ruthless.”

He’d basically gotten Dominic blackout drunk.

“You wanna keep listening to him ramble about how hard Lauren has it?” Ethan shot back, raising an eyebrow 12:43

“Hell no.” Lucas shook his head firmly.

Hard? What was so hard about her life?

Her husband died, and she immediately started eyeing his brother. For all Lucas knew, Lauren might have something to do with Adrian’s death.

How else could she be so shameless?

The two dragged Dominic to his place in Westchester County, half-carrying him inside.

Once he was safely settled, Lucas considered calling Aurelia but decided against it—it was far too late at night.

In the car, Ethan turned to Lucas, his voice low. “Who do you think really killed the baby?”

“Anyone but Aurelia.” Lucas didn’t hesitate.

Even though he was Dominic’s friend, he couldn’t help feeling relieved for Aurelia now that she was free.

“Drop me off at Shallow Bay instead of my place.”

“Why Shallow Bay?” Ethan asked, confused.

Lucas shrugged. “I have a feeling this isn’t over-not just because of the divorce. Knowing Lauren, she’ll find a way to stir up more trouble before this is done.”

Aurelia had gone to bed early the night before, so she woke up just after seven the next morning.

She called the police first, then her phone rang again- Lucas.

“You and Dominic are really divorced?” he asked, getting straight to the point.

Aurelia chuckled, the sound light with relief. “Of course we are!”

“Be careful with the baby’s death,” Lucas said, his tone turning serious.

He’d been thinking about it nonstop since leaving Dominic.

No matter how he looked at it, Aurelia wasn’t capable of harming a child.

She had principles. Lauren, though? That was a different story entirely.

Her obsession with her dead husband’s brother said everything about her warped moral compass.

Someone that shameless would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.

“I know,” Aurelia replied, her voice calm.

“Don’t be too upset. Leaving the Hawthornes is the best thing that could’ve happened to you.”

Aurelia laughed at his earnest tone. “Are you sure you’re Dominic’s friend? If he heard you saying that, he’d probably strangle you.”

“I am his friend, but he’s being an idiot. Look, I won’t keep you. Just… watch out for Lauren.”

Marilyn was in trouble, but Lauren was not as innocent as she pretended to be.

She used to work at Hawthorne Group, right? And she was good-scary good.

That woman had more tricks up her sleeve.

“I will. Thanks, Lucas.” Aurelia hung up, a smile on her

face.

Lucas’ call only reinforced her certainty that she’d made the right decision.

Just then, Chloe wandered in, wearing one of Aurelia’s soft cotton pajamas.

She’d slept well, too, her face still relaxed with sleep.

“Have someone pick up the divorce papers later. Don’t go yourself—you’re still not feeling well.” Chloe’s voice was groggy, but her concern was clear.

“I know.” Aurelia nodded.

“The Hawthornes probably called the police about the baby. Did you-”

“I took care of it.” Aurelia cut her off, her tone confident.

She’d called the police that morning, right before Lucas rapy.

Tit for tat-she wasn’t going to let them dictate the

narrative.

Chloe nodded, relieved. “Good. Those people have no idea who they’re messing with. Still walking around like they own the world.”

She rolled her eyes, thinking of Lauren. Now that Aurelia and Dominic were divorced, Lauren was probably celebrating.

After breakfast, Chloe left for work, promising to come back that night to stay with Aurelia.

At Shallow Bay, Grant woke up to find Lucas in his kitchen, leaning against the counter with a coffee mug.

His expression darkened. “When did you get here?”

“Three in the morning. Had the housekeeper show me to

a guest room.”

Lucas yawned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He’d arrived too late to wake Grant, so he’d crashed in a spare3

room.

Breakfast was already on the table.

Grant sat across from Lucas, asking, “Everything settled?”

The Caldwell Group had run into some trouble over the past few days, and Lucas had been away handling it. He wouldn’t have made it back this quickly without Grant’s help.

“All handled. Thanks to you,” Lucas replied with a nod.

Grant offered no response, his expression unreadable.

After a pause, Lucas ventured carefully, “You heard about Dominic and Aurelia, right? They’re divorced.”

He watched Grant’s face closely, searching for any reaction.

However, Grant’s gaze lowered briefly, a flicker of something passing through his eyes too quickly for Lucas to catch.

Histone remained measured. “With Dominic still tied to

time.”

“What about you and Aurelia?” Lucas pressed, perhaps too directly.

Grant looked up, his eyes deep and inscrutable. “Is the breakfast not to your liking?”

“Huh? No, it’s great!”

“Good. Eat up, then.”

Good-maybe it’d keep Lucas’ mouth busy.

Unaware of the unspoken suggestion, Lucas happily helped himself to another hearty bite.
