After all these years, he’d seen all kinds of women.
But only Aurora had ever made his heart skip a beat like this.
Just watching her smile was enough to make his pulse stutter.
And it was exactly because of that feeling that he could never grow tired of her.
She was always at the center of his heart. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh to her.
As long as it was something Aurora wanted to do, Lucas would always be there, quietly supporting her from behind.
He never had a single complaint.
If a man couldn’t even cherish his own woman properly, what kind of man was he?
At that thought, Lucas found himself laughing quietly.
“It’s good. Anything from Rora is delicious.”
He affectionately wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, even the tip of his heart seemed to tremble.
At that moment, it felt like he was holding his entire world.
That was when he realized that having the whole world was actually simple.
He didn’t need much besides cherishing her.
With that thought, everything before him seemed to be bathed in a gentle, soft glow.
Seeing how lost in thought he was, Aurora quickly changed the subject. “Lucas, didn’t you mention Julian earlier?
“What happened after that? What’s he even doing in the police station?”
Just thinking about it made Aurora feel frustrated.
That man, even after ending up behind bars, still couldn’t behave,
He had clearly done something wrong–was he expecting someone else to clean up his mess?
He was a grown man. Why was he still such a headache?
Aurora felt completely helpless, especially remembering how the first thing she saw when she woke up in the hospital was Julian’s face.
That alone made her feel like the whole day had started off wrong.
She had wanted the first face she saw to be Lucas‘.
But no, since the moment she opened her eyes, her mood had been ruined.
No one really knew what Julian was up to in the police station now
To be honest, Aurora was actually a little curious,
Lucas shared what the police chief had told him. “Mainly, Julian’s just being too arrogant right now. He keeps throwing his status around at the station.”
Aurora raised an eyebrow, finding it ridiculous.

“Throwing his status around?”
She laughed so hard she couldn’t stop. “Don’t tell me he’s referring to the so–called prestige of the Hayes Group in Ravenshore?
Lucas gave a slight nod. “That’s the one. Beyond that, he’s got nothing else.”
Aurora laughed even louder.
The Hayes Group as it was now was practically a hollow shell.
Even if others didn’t know, Julian himself had to be aware of that, didn’t he?
And yet he still had the nerve to bring it up like it meant something?
She honestly couldn’t understand what went on in that man’s head
Sometimes, Aurora really just wanted to laugh out loud.
“Now that you mention it, I just remembered that there’s basically nothing left of that company.”
She crossed her arms, her face full of disdain.
They were all adults.
What was there to brag about when it came to an empty shell of a company?
And honestly, did he really think no one would laugh at him for bringing that up?
Lucas grew curious too. “Is that the same Hayes family who proposed an engagement with your sister?”
