Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 1128:

Aurora could sense their friendship slipping away, and for a moment, she had no idea how to fix it. Talking things out seemed like the only way, but that would mean bringing up the past—something she knew would only reopen old wounds for Lynda.

Maybe letting go was the best option. With a heavy heart, Aurora chose to leave it to time.noveldrama

Lynda never went back to her room. Instead, she slipped some cash to someone at Dunn’s bachelor party, persuading them to spike his wine with an aphrodisiac.

Dunn sensed something amiss almost immediately. Feeling an intense warmth surging through him, he excused himself and stepped out. Lucas caught on quickly to Dunn’s discomfort. “Dunn? Something wrong?” he asked.

Pressing against the wall for support, Dunn gasped for air, beads of sweat forming on his brow. “Please, get Aurora… Bring her to my room…”

Lucas caught the urgency in Dunn’s flushed face and sprang into action. “Hold tight, I’m on it!”

He knew Aurora’s bachelorette party was being held at the far end of the hotel, where all attendees had surrendered their phones for a night of uninterrupted fun.

As Lucas made a beeline for the door, he was intercepted by Aurora’s bridesmaid. “Why the rush? Can’t the groom wait a bit longer?”

“This isn’t about impatience. It’s urgent I speak with Aurora,” Lucas insisted.

He tried to bypass her, but the bridesmaids blocked his path.

“No can do. You know the rules. No groom sees the bride before the wedding. It’s bad luck!”

“But this is serious!” Lucas protested.

“No matter what the emergency is, you’re not getting in. The decision’s been made, and even if a storm hits, Aurora won’t be seeing Dunn.”

Lucas pleaded with increasing desperation, but access remained denied. Focused on alleviating Dunn’s suffering, he conceived a secondary strategy.

He secured a first-aid kit from the hotel staff and hastened back to the last place he had seen Dunn, only to find it deserted. Lucas then rushed to Dunn’s room, but it was empty. The situation perplexed him.

If Dunn had merely secluded himself, it would be one thing. But the thought of someone exploiting Dunn’s vulnerable state was alarming. Determined, Lucas ignored the bridesmaids’ protests at the door and stormed into Aurora’s bachelorette party.

Unfazed by the stares from a room full of women, he scanned the area for Aurora.

Molly intercepted him. “What are you doing here? You know guys aren’t allowed, right?”

“Where is Aurora?”

“She got wine on her dress and went off to change,” Molly said. Together, they proceeded to Aurora’s room, finding only the wine-stained dress on the bed—a room equally devoid of its occupant.

A wave of relief washed over Lucas.

Convinced of their prudence, he felt certain their disappearance indicated a mutual plan was in play.

Lynda, visibly strained, assisted a woozy Dunn towards her room. Her hands trembled so violently that she struggled to insert her room card.

“Lynda,” a voice called out from behind.

Startled, she turned sharply, her stomach dropping as she saw Aurora standing there.
