Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1726

“You do make a little sense.”

“Besides, why do you think I hired so many assistants and secretaries? It’s exactly so they can handle things when I’m not at the company.”

When Lucas said this, he even sounded a bit smug. “Otherwise, when I’m out on business trips, what else are they there for?”

Those words completely rewired Aurora’s worldview.

Aurora stared at him, dazed. “That actually makes perfect sense. I think I should learn from you.”

“You’re just too easy to push around.”

As he spoke, Lucas reached over and pinched her soft cheek.

Feeling the warmth under his fingertips, he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

That feeling was simply too good.

With Aurora staying by his side, he felt like the luckiest man alive.

“You don’t need to overthink. Even if something does happen, you still have me.

Lucas waved his hand. “Go ahead and do whatever you want out there. Start a business or make a mess. It doesn’t matter. Your husband will back you up.”

The moment he said “husband,” Aurora’s face flushed bright red.

“It’s the middle of the day. What nonsense are you talking about?”

Lucas pretended not to notice a thing.

“I’m just stating facts. You’re my wife. Why can’t I say these things to you?”

As he spoke, his hands began to wander with unmistakable intent.

Aurora pressed his hands down and pulled the conversation back.

“So… I can stay here with Megan for a while and look around?”

“That depends on your performance.”
