The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 1695

If Aurora had never graced his life, Craig could have survived these desolate and lonely days, merely existing, getting by without much thought to what he was missing.

But once he'd seen the colors of a flower, how could he ever go back to enduring the endless, monotonous beige of the desert?

"Aurora, I won't agree to a divorce. Don't think you can just walk away from me!"

"Is there even a point in saying that now?"

Tears welled up in Aurora's eyes, yet she refused to meet his gaze. "I gave you so many chances, but you never put me first. Your mom's issues always took precedence, and I could understand your loyalty to her, willing to take the back seat. But it shouldn't mean I have to also take steps back for your career, for your past relationships!"

She had endured everything she could.

For what?

Wasn't it all because she loved Craig?

When they were together, many doubted their relationship, but Aurora never cared about those opinions!

But what about him?

Craig would repeatedly go to Magnolia's to have drinks, all because Walter had been good to him in the past!

He knew what those intentions were, knew that Magnolia had feelings for him!

Aurora couldn't understand.

Was rejection really that hard?

Was setting boundaries really that difficult?
