Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

Wendy caught the sharp glint in Lucas‘ eyes and finally realized that he was genuinely angry.

She clicked her tongue and said casually, “Alright then. You two talk it out. Just don’t fight because of me.”

The chill in Aurora’s gaze deepened.

She gave a cold scoff and turned to leave, ready to walk out and give them all the space they needed.

But Lucas didn’t let go.

His hand remained firmly locked around her wrist.

Aurora struggled, but his grip didn’t budge.

Her voice turned icy. “Let go. Go be with her. Don’t touch me.”

A vein pulsed at Lucas’s temple, his jaw tight as he stared at her lips moving–every word cutting deeper than the last.

He wanted to shut her up right now.

And behind them, Wendy stood with her back turned, the corners of her mouth lifting slowly into a smug smile.

“Oh, my dear sister–in–law, this is only the beginning. You’ll get used to it, won’t you? Watching your man slip right through your fingers.”

Η

The thought made her giddy.

Her steps grew lighter as she walked away, her entire posture radiating satisfaction.

The sound of the guest room door closing echoed faintly.

And in the next moment, Lucas snapped.

He leaned in, capturing Aurora’s lips without warning.

She gasped, eyes wide, stunned into silence.

“You…”

But he didn’t give her the chance to speak. He kissed her deeper, silencing everything.

If she refused to let him explain, then he’d find another way to stop her.

Her breath caught, her body stiff beneath his.

It felt like he’d stolen the air right from her lungs.

She was drowning in him, struggling like a fish out of water.

Just thinking about that smug expression on Wendy’s face made Aurora feel sick to her stomach.

How could this man still have the audacity to kiss her after all that?

But Lucas didn’t give her a chance to pull away.

He was desperate now, and this was the only way he knew to show her how he felt

It was only when her resistance began to weaken that he finally pulled back, his lips brushing against hers as he whispered, “Rora, just give me a chance to explain.

“There’s nothing between me and her. Can you believe me?”

His dark eyes, usually so cold and unreadable, now held a rare flicker of vulnerability.

For once, his gaze was stripped of pride, filled only with sincerity.

And to her surprise, Aurora even saw a hint of pleading in those eyes.

But all she could do was laugh–cold and bitter.

She felt his grip loosen, and without hesitation, shoved him away.

“Enough.”

She wiped her lips, disgust clear on her face.

The motion hit Lucas like a slap, and his eyes darkened.

“You really think that kissing me proves you love me? That you’re genuine?” she said, voice sharp and biting.

Lucas‘ eyes lit up with urgency. That was exactly what he’d wanted to say.
