Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1620

The woman he’d loved for years was now lying in the same bed with him.

All he had to do was turn his head, and her soft face would be right there.

She was so close he could kiss her.

For any man, that would be impossible to resist. And for Edwin, it was torture.

Knowing how much she’d been through that night only made his chest ache more.

“Don’t go… stay with me, please?”

The words were soft, half-asleep, but they hit him like a jolt. His heart skipped a beat.

Any thought of leaving vanished instantly. After hearing that plea, how could he possibly walk away?

He exhaled quietly, surrendering.

“Alright,” he murmured near her ear. “I’ll stay. I’m not going anywhere tonight.”

At those words, Yvonne’s furrowed brows relaxed, though her eyes remained shut, her breathing even.

Watching her, Edwin felt something strange stir inside him. Was it possible his voice alone could calm her like that?

A faint smile tugged at his lips as he drew her closer, resting his chin gently atop her head.

That night, they both fell asleep with different thoughts running through their minds.

…

The next morning.

After confirming with Aurora that they would go public with their relationship, Lucas wasted no time contacting Desmond to draft the official announcement.

When Desmond heard the news, he was stunned.

“Mr. Carter, did Mrs. Carter really agree to make it official?”

He’d been aware of what was going on between Lucas and Aurora for quite some time.

Aurora had always believed that announcing their marriage publicly might affect her career.
