The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1682

Aurora was fuming, and it wasn't because of Magnolia's snide remarks. No, it was because Craig, fully aware of Magnolia's and her father's hopes to tie their families together, was still cozying up to her!

Not only did he have drinks with her, but he also let another woman touch his phone.

Aurora hung up the call, her anger fueling her drive to the delivery hub.

The baby inside her kicked furiously all the way, as if protesting Aurora's anger. Aurora tried to calm herself, not wanting her emotions to affect the baby.

But seeing Craig's car parked outside the delivery hub, Aurora's heart clenched with anger!

"So, you really showed up!" Magnolia was already waiting at the entrance.

Her gaze swept over Aurora's delicate face, finally resting on her protruding belly, her displeasure growing.

"Oh, to be wealthy! To force the man you like to nod in agreement, even if he's unwilling!"

"What did you say?!" Aurora clenched her fists, stepping forward. "I've overlooked your past help to Craig for the sake of it, but don't push me too far!"

Magnolia laughed. "Should I thank you for taking my Craig away? Yes, you're Miss Lopez of the mighty Lopez family, but my family runs a humble logistics company. We don't bow to the Lopez Corporation! So, spare me your princess attitude. It doesn't work on me!"

Aurora gritted her teeth in frustration.

Suddenly, the baby kicked again, as if sensing her anger, helping her to slightly cool down.

For the sake of her child, she couldn't let her emotions get the best of her.

"Where's Craig? I'm taking him with me."

"He's inside, drunk as a skunk! With your tiny frame and no one to help, I doubt you can take him!"

"I'll be right there!"

The secretary, upon receiving the call, rushed over with another man to help lift Craig into the car.

As they were about to leave, Magnolia called out to Aurora, "You and Craig are utterly mismatched. Every day with you is a day he loses his dignity. Do you understand?"

Aurora didn't reply.

Turning to look at Magnolia for a moment, she finally spoke, "Is that what he told you?"

"Of course!" Magnolia spread her hands. "Besides, don't you know what kind of man Craig is? The debts his father left behind could have been ignored by Craig if he wasn't so proud. Instead, he chose to work hard, paying off every cent, standing tall and dignified."

"And yet, in front of you, in front of the mighty Lopez family, how can Craig stand tall?"
