But the next morning, when Wendy saw the two of them walk out of the room together, the smile on her face instantly froze
Aurora found her stunned expression amusing.
In fact, she even greeted her cheerfully “Morning Why’s your mouth hanging open like that?”
At that, Wendy quickly tried to manage her expression.
She shot a panicked glance at Lacas, only to see him eyeing her with quiet scrutiny.
Awkwardly, Wendy explained, “It’s nothing. I just haven’t seen you for a couple of days. I was surprised. I thought you were mad and decided not to come back…”
The moment those words landed, the look in Lucas‘ eyes turned cold.
He’d just managed to coax Aurora back–what was Wendy trying to do?
Sure enough, when Wendy glanced at him again, she got a glare in return.
But she didn’t care.
With her childhood bond with Lucas, the one who’d end up pushed aside would be Aurora–the outsider who came in late
She was hoping Aurora would lose her temper and go file for divorce right away.
Even Lucas looked nervously toward Aurora, about to say something, but to his surprise, she simply let out a soft laugh.
“Didn’t expect you to care so much about how I’m feeling Noted. Let’s eat. I’ve got work at the office.”
With that, Aurora headed straight into the kitchen.
After everything that happened yesterday, she had seen things mare clearly.
Whether or not Lucas‘ so–called true love was Wendy didn’t matter anymore.
The only thing that mattered now was that she was the wife.
As long as she remembered that, it was enough.
Even if Wendy was an obstacle–so what?
They’d be the ones begging heri

Aurora lifted her chin slightly as she walked past Wendy.
Seeing that look of shock on her face made her feel like she was just watching a clown perform.
Lucas quickly caught on to what Aurora meant and followed her into the kitchen without hesitation.
That left Wendy standing there awkwardly by herself.
Watching the two of them moving around in the kitchen, Wendy unconsciously clenched her fists
That bitch–why the sudden change?
Wasn’t this the moment she should be furious, demanding answers from Lucas?
Then she’d swoop in as the gentle, understanding confidante by his side, and there’d be no place left for Aurora
But now, why was everything going so differently from what she had imagined?
Wendy took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Lakey, I’ve got something to do. I’ll

“You two… enjoy your breakfast.”
With that, she turned and left.
This time, Lucas didn’t even respond.
She was afraid that if she stayed a second longer, she wouldn’t be able to control herself, especially when she looked at Aurora’s Tace–it made her so jealous she wanted to tear it apart,
Aurora exchanged a glance with Lucas.
Both of them shook their heads, saying nothing.
Even Lucas no longer had the patience to comfort Wesly
“Aren’t you going to check on your little childhood sweetheart?” Aurora teased as she ate her breakfast
Lucas sat down beside her and chuckled. “What’s this, is Mrs. Carter jealous?”
Aurora found it funny. “No, I’m not wasting time on something like that.”
She pursed her lips and didn’t say more.
Lucas simply smiled without a word.
As for Wendy’s feelings–sure, they’d known each other since they were kids, and she had her brother backing her
