Chapter 462

Aurora moved to stride past him.

She was already running late for lunch, and she had another client meeting with Leonard in the afternoon.

She didn’t have the time or patience to be dragged into whatever drama Joseph was spiraling through.

But just as she stepped forward, his hand closed around her wrist.

“Can’t you just talk to me like a normal person?” he asked, his voice strained.

“I’m exhausted. I just wanted to have a real conversation with you

“Get lost,” Aurora shot back coldly. “You’ve got a hell of a sense of humor. And for the record, I couldn’t care less how you’ve been.”

Her irritation was no longer masked.

It was right there on her face, unfiltered and crystal clear.

But Joseph had been knocked down too many times lately.

Add to that his father’s recent words “Aurora Walton is in a league of her own“-and that thought had been bouncing around in his head ever since.

The way he looked at her now was different.

It wasn’t just longing anymore. It was admiration and aspiration. He wanted to be like her.

“I really just want to talk,” he said, his tone softening into something close to pleading.

To Aurora, it sounded pathetic and almost laughable.

Did he really think she was there to comfort him?

The sheer audacity of it was almost laughable.

That delusional sense of entitlement–where did it even come from?

He was lucky she hadn’t pressed charges and thrown him right back in jail where he belonged.

Rolling her eyes, she didn’t hold back. “Yeah? Well, I don’t.”

“Joseph, you’re an adult. So, stop acting like some lost little boy wandering the streets looking for his mother.” She frowned, voice full of sharp disdain. “Go home, sweetheart. Please. I’m honestly worried your IQ is contagious.”

Joseph stood there, speechless with frustration.

Every word out of her mouth stung like a slap.

These days, Aurora didn’t just dislike him–she couldn’t even look at him without bristling.

“Yes, I was blind before,” Aurora said sharply.

“But now I see things clearly. I want nothing to do with you. The farther you stay from me, the better.”

“I don’t believe it,” Joseph muttered, clinging to her like a lifeline “You’re lying. I know you are.”

“Let go of me! What are you, a single–celled organism? Do you not understand human speech?”

Aurora was seething, tempted to slap him right then and there.
