Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Novel

Chapter 1403 "What are you up to this time?" Aurora's face tightened with wariness. She didn't trust her mother anymore, not after everything that had happened. +25 BONUS "Oh, come on, what could I possibly be up to?" Grace said with an innocent expression that gave nothing away. "I just thought it'd be nice for you and my son-in-law to come home for a meal, that's all. Nothing else." She looked so calm and harmless that, for a moment, it really did seem like she was just asking them over for dinner. Aurora studied her closely for a while, then finally sighed and nodded. "Alright.

I'll bring him back when we have time." "That's good. Just let me know in advance. I'll cook all your favorite dishes." Aurora's expression flickered slightly. Did her mother even remember what she liked to eat? "Fine. If that's all, I'll get going." She didn't want to drag the conversation out any longer. On her way back, Aurora kept thinking-had her mother really changed? Or was this sudden warmth only because of Lucas' status and influence? After all, in Ravenshore, no one would pass up the chance to be associated with the Carter family. A trace of cold determination glimmered in her eyes.

Whatever Grace's motives were, she wouldn't let anyone use Lucas or hurt him. He was her man. And since she'd chosen to build a life with him, she wouldn't back down halfway. As for Tessa, Aurora would deal with her in due time. There was no rush. She had all the time in the world, and when she eventually returned to the Walton family, she'd settle that score properly. She had always felt a pair of eyes watching her from the shadows. Now that she knew it was Tessa, she felt oddly calm. After all, Tessa couldn't run forever. So why waste energy worrying?

"Sure, I'll go along with your schedule. I've already arranged everything at the studio, so you don't have to Chapter 1407 worry." It was the first time the director had worked with such an easygoing boss, and he couldn't help feeling pleased." Don't worry, Miss Walton. With you on board, I'm confident this show will be a big success." "You're too kind, Mr. Smith. You're the one leading the team.

I'm just here to do my part." Follow current novᴇls on FindN0vel.net The director laughed. "I didn't expect it. You're not only beautiful and capable, but you've got a great sense of humor too." Aurora smiled lightly. "It's getting late. You should get some rest, Mr. Smith." "You too." After a few more polite words, they ended the call just as Lucas pushed the door open. He usually never entered while she was on the phone. "Work call?" he asked casually. "Yes," Aurora replied. "We're starting filming next Wednesday." "That's coming up fast." Aurora nodded, a faint sigh escaping her lips.

It struck her that it had been almost half a year since she left the Walton Corporation. No wonder seeing her mother again earlier that day had felt so surreal. "By the way, when I met with my mom, she said she'd like us to come home for dinner sometime when we're free." Chapter 1408
