Ian’s eyes also carried excitement.


    He knew that as long as he followed Aurora, he would never suffer any losses.


    Over the years, the benefits he had gained were obvious to everyone.


    More importantly, he had truly learned something from her.


    Ian always believed that the knowledge he gained was more valuable than the wealth he received.


    After tidying up, Aurora didn’t linger and left directly.


    When she returned home and saw the familiar vi, her heart filled with endless emotions.


    In the beginning, the only reason she moved into this vi was because of her mother’s pressure.


    Both she and Lucas were simply using each other.


    A lot had happened within those walls, but none more significant than Wendy’s presence.


    They had fought and hated each other, but even so, Aurora had to admit that she truly loved.


    During that time, the person she hated most was Lucas.


    Sometimes, she even wondered–since he already had his so–called true love, why did he bother provoking her?


    Why insist on telling her he had no one he liked, only to me family pressure?


    When she discovered the truthter, wasn’t that even more humiliating?


    Aurora never believed that Lucas hadn’t realized this himself<b>. </b>


    So, during that period, her feelings toward him were nothing but disgust and resentment.


    With Wendy involved, she found him utterly intolerable.


    But after lying in a hospital bed for a month, Aurora came to realize that Lucas genuinely cared for her.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to her side the very first moment.


    These things actually all had traces to follow.


    As long as one wasn’t a fool, they could see it clearly.


    Aurora couldn’t help butugh out loud.


    On her delicate <b>face </b>was also a helpless expression, though in her heart there was more reflection.


    Why hadn’t she realized this earlier?


    Clearly Lucas truly liked her, yet she had taken such a long detour, causing them to miss each other so many times.


    Otherwise, by now, they might already be living a happy life together.


    Fortunately, the ending still turned out well.


    Aurora stepped inside, her heart already certain about who Lucas’s so–called true love was.


    That person was probably her.


    She had never thought in that direction before.


    But thinking carefully now, every time she mentioned his true love, Lucas‘ eyes always seemed to rest steadily on her.


    With all these thingsbined, didn’t it already prove that the one Lucas loved was her?


    And then there were those three years she had given to the wrong person.


    Now when she thought about it, Aurora felt she had been a little ridiculous.


    But fortunately, it wasn’t toote, and she still had the chance to make up for it.


    Aurora entered the living room and saw Lucas wearing an apron, cooking in the kitchen.


    The tall figure of the man blocked most of the light inside.


    Just looking at his back gave Aurora a deep sense of security.


    So, happiness was hidden in the little things of life. Just a simple act of cooking a meal was enough to lift her mood upward.


    Hearing the sound, Lucas came out of the kitchen with a spat in hand. The moment he saw Aurora, his eyes curved with a smile. “You’re back. Howe you got off early today<b>?</b><b>” </b>
