Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1830

Lucas slipped his head under the blanket and murmured, “Besides, is there anything we haven’t already done?

“Aren’t we past the point of hiding from each other?”

Before he could say more, Aurora reached out and pressed her hand over his mouth.

“Stop talking. I don’t want to hear it.”

Even with her hand silencing him, Lucas’ smile didn’t fade.

The atmosphere between them felt entirely different from before.

…

Meanwhile, Yvonne had been thinking in circles, waiting and waiting, yet Aurora still hadn’t replied.

She checked the time—the deadline Edwin gave her was getting closer by the minute.

If she kept dragging this out, she might not even be able to stay abroad.

There was also the arrangement she made with Joseph, which couldn’t afford any more delay.

Even though she was practically the dominant force overseas, that still meant little with Edwin applying pressure behind her.

She could ignore things before, but now, with the accusations online still unresolved, she needed to find a solution and fast.

Yvonne took a deep breath and was just about to tell Joseph they needed to accelerate their plan when a knock sounded at her door.

The noise startled her.

After a moment of steadying herself, she called toward the door, “Come in.”

Hearing her voice, her mother stepped inside.

“Yvonne, are you busy?”

Her mother might not care about all this, but Yvonne had no choice but to care.

She knew very well that without her fans, she was essentially nothing online.

Staying overseas would never win them back—it would only disappoint the loyal supporters waiting for her in the country.

If that really happened, then all the years she spent building her name would vanish into thin air.

Her mother looked at her earnestly. “I just wanted to ask how things are going with Edwin.”

“How else can it go? You know how ruthless he is.”

Hearing herself say it, Yvonne let out a helpless sigh.

“With how forceful he always is, even if I wanted to handle it properly, would he ever allow it?”

A hint of defeat crossed her face. “He’s always been that domineering. If he wants something, he takes it. And he’s from the Carter family on top of that.”
