Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1377

Seeing that Megan had taken her words to heart, Aurora simply said, “Good. In that case, let’s wrap up. If you run into any problems, you can always come find me.”

Ian and the two employees said their goodbyes seriously, while Megan lingered behind to ask Aurora about the questions she hadn’t understood in the meeting.

Aurora was glad to see it, though she sighed inwardly, hoping Megan wouldn’t give up halfway. She truly wished her to stick with it.

That evening, when Aurora returned home, Lucas wasn’t back yet. She figured he must still be busy.

This time, she decided to cook dinner herself. Normally, Lucas was the one preparing their meals, but she wanted to do something for their home as well.

She had only just started when Lucas walked through the door. The moment he saw her bustling in the kitchen, he hurried over.

“Why are you in here working all by yourself?”

His anxious tone made Aurora touch her nose awkwardly.

“I just thought I could share a little of the burden.”

Hearing that, Lucas didn’t feel touched–he only grew more flustered. He stepped quickly inside, gently steering her out of the kitchen.

“Let me handle this. The kitchen isn’t for you. If you burned your hand, I’d feel awful.”

Aurora’s heart warmed at his words. She had assumed he was upset because she meddled in the kitchen, but instead, his first thought was her safety. The realization left her momentarily stunned.

And then his next words truly shook her.

“But sometimes, I just want to do something for you,” she said softly.

When Lucas heard her words, he pulled Aurora out of the kitchen, his tone firm. “It’s fine, I can handle this myself. You don’t need to. All I want is for you to stay by my side.”

Aurora looked at him for a long moment before suddenly wrapping her arms around him.

The hug left Lucas a little stunned.

Puzzled, he asked, “What is it? Why hug me all of a sudden?”

“I just can’t believe someone like you exists,” Aurora murmured.

Lucas answered with complete seriousness. “I’m only doing what I should. To me, treating you well is natural. I don’t expect anything in return. Having you by my side–that’s the greatest gift you can give me.”

“I understand.” Aurora rested her head against his shoulder, her voice muffled.
