Chapter 1133
Lucas watched their interaction from the side, feeling a little displeased. Deliberately making sure Leonard could see, he gave Aurora’s hand a sharp, possessive squeeze. Aurora felt a slight sting and turned her head, just about to say something, only to meet his pitiful gaze. In an instant, she understood why Lucas had done it. She could only sigh and pat his hand helplessly, signaling him to calm down. After all, they were still in public. Whatever the matter, it was something for them to talk about at home—it was between husband and wife.
Megan noticed their little exchange, her smile deepening. She pursed her lips and tugged on Leonard’s arm. “Oh dear, I think we shouldn’t stay here and get in the way of this loving couple. Let’s go somewhere else. These two have been disgustingly sweet lately.”
Aurora feigned fierceness. “Who are you calling disgusting?” Her tone carried laughter, clearly not angry—just bantering with Megan to strengthen their bond.
Megan didn’t mind and pulled Leonard away. “Obviously whoever’s showing off their love right in front of me—that’s who.”
At first Leonard didn’t want to leave, but seeing how their relationship was indeed stronger than before, he understood. There was no point in staying. In the end, he could only go along with Megan and leave the two behind. It was better this way. As long as Aurora was doing well, he didn’t need to dwell on it. If he kept obsessing, it would only hurt him more and drag him deeper into it. The best thing he could do was find a way to move on, rather than always putting Aurora at the center of his life.
Leonard glanced sideways at Megan, who was tugging him forward. She kept muttering, “Honestly, those two just keep getting sweeter and sweeter. And here I am suffering for it. They weren’t even like this before. Doesn’t Aurora remember she has a single best friend? It’s like being trapped in a live show of couple torture. I don’t want to hang around them anymore.”
Hearing this, Leonard couldn’t help but chuckle.
Hearing the sound, Megan stopped in her tracks and tilted her head slightly at Leonard. “What are you laughing at?” She stood with her hands on her hips, looking like if he said anything she didn’t like, she’d pick a fight with him on the spot.
Seeing her expression, Leonard quickly waved his hand. “Nothing, nothing. I didn’t say a word.”
“That’s better.” Megan pouted. “Honestly, their relationship’s improving while I’m left here all alone.”
Looking at her cute sulking face, Leonard couldn’t help but reach out and pat her soft hair. “Alright, but you still have me here to keep you company, don’t you?”
The moment she felt his touch, Megan’s cheeks instantly turned red. She had only ever treated Leonard as a friend, but this move of his was clearly crossing the line. She wasn’t some naïve girl who didn’t understand anything. When it came to matters between men and women, she was naturally sensitive.
“You…”
Megan stammered on that single word, pointing at Leonard but unable to say anything more.
Leonard quickly sensed the awkwardness and withdrew his hand, his face carrying a trace of embarrassment. “Sorry, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to comfort you.”
