Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Novel

Chapter 1375 This was the sweetest thing Aurora had ever heard. Meeting Lucas' steady gaze, she felt wrapped in a sense of safety. "You're right," she admitted after a pause, unable to turn him down. "Alright then, I'll make time this week." Aurora thought about her schedule-there was nothing pressing, and going with Lucas to the family banquet seemed fine. Hearing her agree, Lucas' expression brightened. He picked up some food and placed it in her bowl. "Eat more. You really do look thinner lately." "I've been eating just fine. I've even put on weight-it's just you who thinks I'm too thin.

I'm not at all," Aurora muttered in mock annoyance. Lucas only chuckled, saying nothing more. Maybe those who love you always feel like they owe you something. There's a saying online that love is the constant sense of owing. Soon, the day of the family dinner arrived. Aurora had been caught up with work and felt she'd neglected Lucas, so she wanted to spend the weekend keeping him company. Lucas drove her to the family banquet, which was being held at the old estate. After all, the living hall there could easily hold a thousand people. For them, a family dinner was nothing grand.

When they arrived, Aurora noticed right away that the entrance looked different from before. It was lined with rows of luxury cars, some she couldn't even name, gleaming in front of the gates. The sight was overwhelming. Lucas, however, remained completely composed, his face calm and unchanging. Clearly, he was used to it. Aurora was secretly stunned. It seemed the Carters' power was far greater than she had imagined. What she saw now was probably just the tip of the iceberg. Even the side branches of the family held such wealth and influence-how much more did Lucas, the direct heir, command?

She couldn't even begin to fathom it. Lucas, quick to catch her unease, glanced sideways at her. "What's wrong? You look troubled." "It's nothing, I was just a little surprised. I didn't realize your family was this large.' 1/2 Chapter 1379 Aurora spoke, then immediately felt her words sounded odd, like she was rambling. +25 BONUS Lucas chuckled softly and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Yes, with the side branches, plus all the children my grandfather had, many of them settled elsewhere.

Once you add them up, it does make for a big family." Listening to his patient explanation eased much of Aurora's tension. "Don't worry, I'll stand by your side and work hard, so I won't embarrass you.' "What nonsense is that?" To her surprise, Lucas didn't look pleased but instead grew stern. Aurora shrank her neck a little, confused. "Did I say something wrong?" "Of course you did," Lucas replied firmly. "You're my wife, the one who stands beside me. Embarrassment has nothing to do with it. No matter what, the only one I've ever loved is you.

If you belittle yourself like this again, that's when I'll truly be angry." Aurora's eyes shimmered at his words. So that was what he cared about. Clearly, she had been overthinking. Since learning each other's true identities, their relationship hadn't weakened-it had only grown stronger. 2/2 For original chapters go to find{n}ovel.net
