Chapter 1325

Right now, Lucas' main hope was that Aurora would agree to dinner for Megan’s sake.

When Aurora caught Megan’s pleading eyes, she had no choice but to give in.

Thinking it over, Megan had been threatened by Lucas too–why take it so personally?

“Let’s go,” Aurora said, holding the ice-blue roses. She nodded at Lucas, though her face stayed cold.

But in the corner of her lips, where Lucas couldn’t see, a faint smile tugged upward.

Megan caught the moment clearly.

She leaned close to Aurora’s ear and whispered seriously, “Aurora, I’m so jealous. A man as handsome as Lucas treating you this well? And I can tell he’s really trying to win you back. Maybe you should accept his apology?”

“It depends on how he behaves,” Aurora muttered, anger simmering in her chest. “After all that time lying to me, and now just two days later I’m supposed to forgive him?”

Megan thought it over and realized she was right.

“All right then, let’s not forgive him yet.”

Besides, she wanted to see Lucas suffer a little.

But Aurora tapped Megan’s nose and said, “And you–yes, maybe you were threatened, but you still kept it from me all this time. What do you think your punishment should be?”

“Ow, I really know I was wrong.” Megan tugged at her ears, surrendering.

Aurora gave her a sharp look. “Couldn’t you at least have given me a hint back then? And don’t forget, you were the one who introduced me to Lucas. Yet the two of you teamed up to deceive me. Well done, Megan.”

“You know how it is–Lucas always threatens to cut my allowance. I never had a say in it,” Megan said with grievance. “He threatened me, how could my words mean anything?”

“A hint, Megan. I meant a hint!”

Aurora sighed, exasperated.

Even now, Megan still didn’t understand.

Looking at her confused expression, Aurora gave up.

Forget it. With her personality, she’d probably help count the money even if someone sold her.

Better not to say anything more.

Otherwise, her already slow brain might only get duller.

When they set off, Aurora and Megan sat in the back seat, while Lucas took the driver’s seat.

In that moment, Lucas fully realized that of all people, never provoke women.

Sitting in the driver’s seat with Aurora and Megan in the back, he felt like nothing more than their chauffeur.

Yet neither Aurora nor Megan seemed the least bit aware of it.

Lucas sighed inwardly.

Forget it, as long as Aurora was willing to share a meal with him, it meant there was still room to make things right.

Sure enough, Desmond’s advice had its merit. Sometimes it really did need someone with experience to handle these situations.

Lucas' opinion of him shifted a little at that thought.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Lucas immediately ordered a spread of seafood.

Crabs, lobsters–the works. His goal was simple: keep Megan too busy eating to talk, so he could use the chance to get closer to Aurora and clear the air.

The three of them sat together, with Lucas on Aurora’s left and Megan on her right, sandwiching Aurora in the middle.

As they ate, Lucas remembered Desmond’s words again–sincerity was the one true weapon.
