Yvonne let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “Have you even considered what kind of consequences this will bring me? Do you know my entire studio is on the verge of falling apart because of this?”
“Oh? So, the studio you’ve spent years building is crumbling over one single issue?”
Lucas’ tone carried a trace of mockery. “If that’s really the case, then maybe you shouldn’t have opened one at all.
“A studio that can’t withstand rumors is nothing but a waste of resources.”
His words cut deep, every syllable cold and precise. For someone already wounded, it was like salt in an open wound.
Yvonne’s mind went blank for a moment, her thoughts scattering.
Hearing her silence on the other end, Lucas frowned, sensing something off.
“If that’s all, I’m hanging up. I don’t see any point in dragging this out.”
He was ready to end the call. The official announcement with Aurora had already been made, and the thought of seeing her filled him with a quiet excitement.
He couldn’t wait to be by her side, to share that joy with her.
The noise online meant nothing compared to the warmth of being with Aurora.
“Wait, just a moment!”
Yvonne’s voice burst out in panic. She hadn’t expected Lucas to be this heartless, cutting her off without even letting her finish.
“What else is there to say?”
His tone had turned impatient now, his irritation clear.
Dealing with Yvonne felt increasingly exhausting.
He couldn’t stand her persistence and desperation.
He could hear it in her voice, and it only made him want to end the conversation faster.
But he was a married man now—why waste time and emotion on someone like her?
