Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1707

She was right.

Some things needed to be said outright instead of hidden in her chest.

His voice dropped slightly.

“I’ll handle this. You don’t need to overthink it.”

“I’ve spelled it out. How are you still not getting it?”

She nearly lost her mind.

But he stayed locked inside his own stubborn certainty.

“I told you—I’ll make sure you willingly marry me.”

After so many years of feelings, he wasn’t going to keep swallowing his pride.

Watching her hover around Lucas all that time had been miserable for him.

If Lucas didn’t already have a wife, he might have stepped back.

They would’ve still had a chance then.

But now things were different. With the opportunity right in front of him, there was no way he would let it slip.

No matter what, he would go speak to her parents about a proposal.

And once the words were spoken, there was no taking them back.

He wasn’t going to stand in the background anymore, watching her chase someone else.

His words left her unsettled.

“I already said my marriage is mine to decide. No matter what you say, my choice is what matters.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Staring at the blank screen, her emotions tangled together. How did she end up involved with someone like him?

Had he been eyeing her all this time?

Or had everything he did beside her been nothing but a façade?
