Chapter 505: The Truth

Julian's sudden request for Aurora to return struck her as odd, but she agreed nonetheless. After all, she had already learned enough, and the development of the new perfume was nearing its final stages. She could finish it without Denis Vukic's assistance. Returning didn't seem like a problem.

Still, Julian's urgency puzzled her. Perhaps she was overthinking it. Maybe he simply missed her.

The next morning, Aurora told Asher about her decision to leave. His reaction was far calmer than she had anticipated.

"He told me yesterday," Asher said. "So today, I'm not going to the company. I'm staying to spend time with you, little fox. You're leaving again." His tone was lighthearted, but Aurora saw the disappointment flickering in his eyes.

Happy moments always seemed fleeting. Recently, Asher had regained his former radiance, and Aurora knew it was because of her presence. She couldn't help but wonder: once she left, would he return to the way he was before?

Aurora felt a pang of guilt but knew she had no other choice.

How could she possibly stay by his side forever? The longer she stayed, the less likely Asher would be to find his true love.

"Ashy, after I leave, don't fall into the same slump as before. I want you to be happy."

"Silly girl, of course I'll be fine. Do you think I'm that foolish?" Asher ruffled her hair gently. "I made breakfast for you. Go wash up and come eat."

"Okay."

That day, Asher stayed by her side the entire time. He understood that once Aurora left, moments like these-free from constraints-would no longer be possible.

Soon, she would marry Julian and become someone else's wife. This was his last chance to be alone with her.
