    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 <b>Why’s </b>your mouth hanging open like that?”


    At that, Wendy quickly tried <b>to </b>manage her expression.


    She shot a panicked nce at Lacas, only to see him eyeing her with quiet scrutiny.


    Awkwardly, Wendy exined, “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 toe back…”


    The moment those wordsnded, 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 nced at him again, she got a re 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 inte


    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 softugh.


    “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 <b>was </b>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


    the end


    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 <b>clown </b>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 ce left for Aurora


    But now, why was everything going so differently from what she had imagined?


    Wendy <b>took </b>a deep breath and forced a smile. “Lakey, I’ve got something to do. I’ll


    “You <b>two</b>… 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 nce with Lucas.


    Both of them shook their heads, saying nothing.


    Even Lucas no longer had the patience tofort 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
