Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690

In the past, whenever he tried to find a stepmother for Emma, she always reacted strongly and flat–out refused.

But now, with someone closer to her age, things were surprisingly different.

They even had a lot in common.

It seemed Nicholas was genuinely considering keeping Tessa around for the long haul.

Still, since Emma was so fond of her right now, it was better to leave that decision for later.

There was still time.

As long as Tessa remained useful to him, there was no way they’d part ways.

If Aurora ever found out about this, she’d probably laugh out loud.

Of course, he was a businessman. They never make a move unless there was something in it for them.

Everyone knew that unspoken truth.

No one was hoping for kindness or sincerity here.

It was all about leverage.

And the only reason Tessa was willing to be with Nicholas was because what he could offer far outweighed anything the Waltons ever could.

That was exactly why she stuck to him so willingly.

Otherwise, knowing Tessa’s personality, Aurora was certain there was no way she’d be following around some older man without a good reason.

There had to be something in it for her.

No one was that naïve.

They were all adults–no one pretended otherwise.

Everyone knew the game.

Aurora, though, found it ridiculous.

A high schooler, getting involved with her classmate’s dad?

What kind of power did this man really hold? Was he truly that influential?

How had she never heard of him before?

And how did Tessa find out about him?

Just thinking about all of it made Aurora feel like her head was about to explode.

In that moment, Aurora felt with startling clarity that it was as if a part of her memory had been stripped away.

She couldn’t figure it out.

Or maybe–was the universe trying to send her a message?

Aurora clutched her head, the pain nearly splitting her skull, completely lost on what it was she even wanted. Just then, the thoughts in her mind began to drift like smoke, and the floor beneath her feet started to sway.

It turned out, she was once again back in that strange, teleportation–like passage.
