Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 937:

The bodyguard blinked, unsure of what he meant. “What exactly do you want us to do to him, sir?”

“You said he’s been harassing women? Make sure he’s unable to do that again. I don’t care how you do it. Just don’t kill him.”

The steeliness of Dunn’s voice sent chills down the bodyguard’s spine. “Yes, sir,” the bodyguard replied with a stammer.

Dunn rolled up the car window, started the engine, and his car disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, Aurora was getting ready for bed when Lucas knocked on her door and asked if he could come in.

When her parents’ friends came over, they would usually bring their kids along. As the eldest of the kids, Aurora would babysit as they played around the house.

And of all the children she had met, Lucas was the most thoughtful and considerate, just like Rafael.

“Sure, come in.” She sat up, her hair brushing over her shoulders as she turned on the bedside lamp.

Lucas walked in, looking rather downcast.

“What’s wrong?” Aurora asked.

“It’s about the necklace.”

“The necklace?”

Lucas’ ears turned red, like a child who had just been caught doing something bad.noveldrama

“I had it specially ordered through a friend. I didn’t realize it was part of a Valentine’s Day collection. I hope it didn’t cause you any trouble.”

Lucas was concerned that if Aurora wore the necklace, others might think she had a boyfriend, or that her actual boyfriend might misinterpret the gesture, leading to unnecessary conflict. That would mean trouble.

“No, it’s okay,” Aurora reassured him.

Lucas lifted his gaze, studying her closely for a moment before gathering the courage to ask, “Are you in love, Aurora?”

Aurora froze, pulling the blanket up to cover half her face and nervously blinking her wide eyes. “Is it obvious?”

Lucas smiled and nodded.

Aurora patted the space next to her, and Lucas sat down. Lowering her voice, she whispered, “Don’t tell anyone, okay? Nothing’s official yet.”

“Not even Molly?”

“If Molly ever catches wind of this, it’ll be the talk of the town by dawn,” Aurora said with a knowing smirk.

“I get it.” Lucas gave Aurora his word that her secret would remain safe with him.

“Aurora, when are you and your boyfriend going to treat us to a nice meal?”

Aurora retorted, “He’s not my boyfriend yet.”

“And why not? Is Rickey perhaps waiting for you to declare your feelings first?”

“Rickey?” Confusion swept over Aurora’s features. “Why on earth would Rickey be confessing to me?”

“Isn’t Rickey the one you’ve got your heart set on? After all, you two have been inseparable for what feels like forever.”

“Not at all,” Aurora responded firmly, her voice laced with a touch of irritation. “We’re just good friends, really. Don’t start spinning wild tales.”
