Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 738

That thought alone made Arnold uneasy.

So how much heavier must it have felt for someone as young as Autora?

She took a deep breath, her delicate features now void of the usual liveliness.

Pulling the corners of her lips into a faint, indifferent smile, she said, “Mom, if we don’t leave soon, I’m going to be late for the competition.”

She changed the subject, simply not wanting Grace to keep dragging the matter out.

In the end, it would only waste everyone’s time and ruin the mood

Lowering her gaze, Aurora let her long lashes shield the emotions in her eyes, making it impossible to tell how she felt.

After all this time, Grace still hadn’t known she had a competition today, and now she was lashing out at Arnold instead?

So even if someone remembered something important for her, they still had to be blamed for it?

Grace noticed Aurora’s deflection.

Though still slightly displeased, she didn’t say anything else.

She knew today’s kids could be a little rebellious, especially Aurora who she’d always been pampered by William.

Now that his protection was gone, it was only natural she’d feel the loss.

Grace understood that, but it didn’t mean she was going to indulge it.

They’d all lived through far worse–what was there to be so delicate about?

She told the driver to take Aurora to the competition and went back to her room herself, not bothering to see her off.

Watching her mother’s retreating back, Aurora lowered her eyes without a word.

She knew Grace had no intention of caring for her.

And she no longer expected it either.

The conversation with Arnold had already made things clear.

Rather than worry about others, she might as well focus on her own future.

What she loved was architectural design–not wasting her life in this hollow, meaningless existence.

With that thought, young Aurora turned to Arnold with a small smile. “Let’s go, Mr. Arnold. I want you to take me.”

Hearing that, Arnold smiled as well.

Seeing her like this, Arnold felt genuinely happy for her.

This was the Aurora he remembered.

And in some ways, she even reminded him of William.
