Chapter 1124

Thinking of that, Lucas shook his head – his thoughts had been far too narrow.

By the time he came back to himself, Aurora was already preparing to step out of the car.

He quickly got out first, circling around the front.

Seeing his actions, Aurora didn’t say anything, choosing instead to wait inside.

When Lucas reached her door, the moment he stepped out, every movement of his drew people’s eyes.

Tall and commanding in a deep navy suit, his hair slicked back neatly with pomade, sharp brows and striking eyes, his high-bridged nose cutting a flawless line – he was unforgettable at a glance.

People around couldn’t help but wonder who his date would be.

After all, men like him were rare. His entire presence radiated an aura of authority, the kind that carried weight without a single word.

The instant Lucas appeared, all eyes turned instinctively toward him.

Whispers rippled through the crowd.

“Why haven’t we seen this man before?”

“Exactly – if I had, with a face like that, there’s no way I would’ve forgotten.”

“Right? He looks like he stepped out of a dream.”

The murmurs about him only grew, though more than his looks, curiosity stirred – who had he come with?

Why didn’t anyone recall seeing him before? A man like that couldn’t simply go unnoticed.

The next second, Lucas opened the back door, and a pale, slender leg slipped gracefully out.

The sight of a sky-blue stiletto completed the picture, and everyone’s attention shifted instantly.

Just that one leg was enough to make throats tighten and mouths dry.

How could such beauty even exist in reality?

With legs like that, she could captivate for a lifetime.

Lucas was well aware of the stir around them.

But he knew well enough – now that they were here, there was no turning back.

This was Aurora’s stage to shine.

The last thing he could do was trip her up.

At the very least, he couldn’t stand in her way or argue against what she wanted to do.

Lucas extended his hand, inviting her to take it as she stepped out.

Aurora didn’t hesitate, placing her slender hand into his, the tension in his touch radiating pure magnetism. That single gesture was enough to make blood run hot.

The crowd’s breath caught as anticipation mounted, their curiosity burning over who exactly was seated inside.

Just one glimpse of that long leg had already left them short of breath, their hearts racing.

How had they not noticed a woman like this in Ravenshore before?

The thought left many of them frustrated, their curiosity reaching its peak as they waited for the full reveal.

Yet none of it touched Aurora or Lucas.

In that moment, they existed in their own world.

Especially Lucas – his only thought was to shield Aurora, to guard her against every covetous gaze around them.

When Aurora finally stepped out, the crowd collectively gasped.

They had seen this beauty before, surely.

“Wait – why does she look so familiar?” someone whispered.

Others quickly agreed. “She does. But seeing her appear like this all of a sudden, it caught us off guard.”
