Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160

But Lucas wasn’t falling for her tricks anymore.

His face remained cold as he said, “Stay a couple more days if you want, but once you’re done having your fun, go back.”

“You’re kicking me out?”

Wendy stared at him in disbelief, her face full of shock.

They had known each other since childhood–was that bond really worth nothing now?

Lucas stayed unmoved, firm in his stance.

No matter how much Wendy pouted or begged this time, he didn’t say another word.

In the end, the whole scene ended in frustration, with Wendy stewing in her own anger.

Lucas had no appetite left either.

Grabbing his coat, he headed out the door.

Ever since Wendy arrived, he’d realized he needed to reevaluate his relationship with Aurora.

He couldn’t keep treating it so casually.

Wendy watched his retreating figure, her fists slowly clenching, eyes wide with fury.

She had no idea what kind of spell Aurora had cast.

Even after acting that smug, Lucas still indulged her.

He even cooked for her.

Wendy had never seen that before.

On the rare occasions he did cook, it was only because he and his brother happened to be in a good mood–and those instances

were few and far between.

Seething with resentment, Wendy poked at her breakfast.

Without Lucas around, the food felt tasteless, and the room empty.

Meanwhile, as soon as Lucas left the house, his first instinct was to text Aurora.

When Aurora saw the message, she only gave it a quick glance before slipping her phone back into her pocket, clearly not

intending to reply.

1/3

Back in his office chair, Lucas never took his eyes off his phone.

Anyone could see that he was waiting for Aurora’s reply.

As for the message itself, Desmond didn’t see the contents.

But to him, it didn’t matter.

These things were never of much use anyway–as long as the CEO could be kept happy, they’d all benefit in the end.

Even while reviewing documents, Lucas kept an eye on his phone, watching for any sign of a reply.

But by the time noon rolled around, there was still nothing from Aurora.

That finally broke

his composure.

He grabbed his coat and stood up, ready to head out.

Desmond moved to follow, but Lucas stopped him. “Stay at the office. If anything comes up, update me immediately.”

“But sir, you…

“Just focus on your job.”

It was clear: there were things Desmond wasn’t meant to be involved in.

He nodded quickly, his eyes signaling that he understood and wouldn’t interfere.
