Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1556

Aurora’s tone stayed flat as she spoke.

But Lucas refused to give up. “I came here because I want to protect you.”

“I don’t need your protection,” she replied bluntly. “If you’re only doing this because of Yvonne, then don’t bother.”

“Why not?”

“Because she’s here because of you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t need protecting in the first place. I barely even knew her before this.”

Lucas froze. Her words hit hard.

She was right.

If not for him, Yvonne would never have appeared in her life, and none of this would be happening now.

He hadn’t realized it at first, but hearing Aurora say it out loud made it undeniable.

In the end, he was the one who had dragged her into all this.

Still, he told himself he could handle it. He believed he could keep her safe, so he never worried about it.

But hearing her say it that way made it sound completely different.

“But I can protect you,” he said quietly, his eyes filled with pleading, hoping she would at least look at him. He didn’t want her to stay fixated on this.

He could handle everything she was going through for her.
