Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 653

Chapter 653

Chapter 653

“Lucas, why aren’t you answering my calls?”

At those words, Lucas‘ expression softened slightly.

So, it really was Grace calling.

He had thought at first that Tessa was just lying.

After all, if she could chase him all the way here, there was probably nothing she wasn’t capable of.

And in that, Lucas had no doubt.

He’d disliked Tessa’s character from the beginning

Even now, seeing her show up with the phone in hand, he still couldn’t stand her.

Her smile always seemed laced with calculation.

Still, even with all that, Lucas didn’t completely lower his guard around her.

Grace’s voice came through again. “Lucas, I’m talking to you, why haven’t you said anything?”

She pressed once more, and only then did Lucas respond.

He gave a brief “Yeah,” then took the phone from Tessa and stepped outside.

No matter what, Grace was still Aurora’s mother–her biological mother.

He had to show her at least this much respect.

Otherwise, once Aurora woke up, others would accuse him of being disrespectful to his elders,

Lucas knew all too well how people talked.

And because he knew, he had to avoid giving them any excuse.

He wouldn’t let that happen.

Tessa watched him take the phone, and the smile on her face deepened.

Perfect.

As long as Lucas was out of the way, Julian would have the chance to slip inside.

The rest would go smoothly from there–no need for her to interfere.

Just thinking about how she’d still be the one in charge once she got back instantly put her in a much better mood.

There was no need for Aurora to wake up at all.

She clenched her fists, convinced that all she ever needed was a single opportunity.
