She felt like a rat lurking in the shadows, able only to watch from afar.
Why couldn’t she be the one surrounded and admired?
She also wanted to be the center of the crowd.
Yet to her, all of this seemed forever out of reach.
If it were possible, she wanted to trade lives with Aurora.
Tessa forced herself to suppress the emotions rising inside her.
She knew very well that she could not lose control at this moment, nor could she ruin Sean’s plans.
Otherwise, all the effort they had put in would be completely wasted.
Faced with the admiration from everyone around her, Aurora felt a growing sense of impatience.
She had come today with real matters to handle, so why were these people crowding around her and Lucas, talking nonstop?
If this continued, she would have no time at all to deal with what she actually came for.
Aurora took a deep breath, the helplessness in her eyes becoming more obvious.
Lucas noticed it, and his expression cooled immediately.
Seeing this, everyone present was sharp enough to take the hint.
It was clear that Lucas did not welcome them lingering here any longer.
If they kept it up, he would likely become displeased.
So, they quietly dispersed, moving aside in tacit understanding.
Only then did the space around Aurora finally clear.
She spoke with a hint of resignation. “I’m really riding on your coattails. Otherwise, I’d usually fade into the background at occasions like this.”
“How could that be? You’re dazzling on your own.”
Lucas replied sincerely.
What he said was simply the truth.
In Lucas’ eyes, Aurora had every right to stand where she was.
