Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 853

Chapter 853

But someone like Leonard? That was way too fast to lose interest!

Hmph, men really were just bastards.

Seeing Megan all puffed up with anger, Leonard couldn’t help but find her absolutely adorable.

How could someone be so kind–hearted, so sincere, and still shine like a little sun?

It felt like every beautiful word in the world could be used to describe this girl.

For a moment, Leonard found it unbelievable himself.

But he still needed to keep his feelings in check.

He reminded himself again and again–he wasn’t some heartless jerk.

Just a moment ago, he had told himself he would quietly protect Aurora.

And now what?

He was catching feelings for her best friend?

Leonard looked down at his palms, disgusted by the man he was becoming.

The mood instantly shifted.

The light, playful air had vanished.

Leonard let out a long breath and decided to change the subject to break the awkward silence.

“Where’s your cousin?”

Come to think of it, it was odd.

How could Lucas be so at ease, leaving Aurora alone in the room like this?

What if something like last time happened again?

Megan waved her hand, signaling she didn’t really know.

“He texted me earlier, said he had something to take care of and asked me to come by early.

“Besides, nothing like last time’s going to happen again. Didn’t you notice there are more people in white coats around the room?”

Leonard paused for a second.

“Don’t tell me…”

Before he could finish, Megan nodded.

“That’s right. They’re bodyguards my cousin arranged to protect Aurora. They’re wearing lab coats so they don’t disturb the normal routine of others.”

Leonard understood instantly.

It seemed like the guy actually had a thoughtful side.

At least he wasn’t being careless like last time.

Otherwise, Leonard would’ve been the first to step in.

Even if he didn’t have the right, he still wanted to do what he could

He didn’t want to just stand by and watch Aurora suffer alone.

Megan glanced at Leonard, who looked deep in thought..

She had no idea what was going through his head.

In the end, she just shook her head, deciding not to bother figuring it out.

Leonard was just strange.

He said he came to be by Aurora’s side..

But now that she was here, aside from that fight with Lucas at the start, Megan hadn’t seen much action from him.

To her, Leonard was a confusing person.

And there was always this indecisiveness, this contradiction about him.

But she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
