Chapter 217 Wait for Him to Come Back
Before Aurora could finish speaking, Connor came over to interrupt them.
“Mrs. Walton, it’s getting late. It’s time to go to the banquet.” Connor smiled and gave Aurora a meaningful look. Connor’s expression seemed to indicate that he did not want her to continue. “Kate, why don’t you go and get your things done first? I have to go buy some things too,” Aurora frowned.
“Well, I have something to do today. Next time, let Terry pick you up and come to my house and have a chat, okay?” Aurora just smiled and did not say much. Through the French window, Aurora saw Kate get into the Walton family’s luxury car.
The jewelry and bag Kate had on her were not something that Aurora could afford to buy. Aurora still had to think about how to revive the Bennet family in this period of time.
It was not the right time for Aurora to think about, feelings right now. As soon as the plane landed, Zac received photos and messages from Aurora. Her tone was as calm as ever. Zac also felt unfamiliar with it. He could feel her alienation from those words. He was not used to it.
“Alma had some soup. The doctor checked on her and told her to take medicine on time.” “Alma just fell asleep. The nurse is here too.” Every sentence was like an automatic report. However, just these few words and a few pictures made Zac look at them for a long time.
“Mr. Buchanna, it’s time to get out of the car.” Carter reminded Zac. Only then did Zac take back his phone and step into the hotel.
After the meeting, the first thing Zac did was take out his phone. However, there was no new message. Zac frowned, found a quiet place, and dialed Aurora’s number. Aurora had just fallen asleep. She took her phone and went to the corridor.
“Alma is already asleep.”
Zac was stunned. He forgot that there was a time difference.
“I…”
“You don’t have to worry. I’ve asked the doctor, and Alma can be discharged tomorrow. I will get everything sorted.” Aurora thought that Zac was worried about Alma.

Listening to her voice was as calm as water, Zac calmed down.
“With Alma being discharged tomorrow,
I might have to find someone to cook.”
Aurora was thinking about how to take care of Alma better.
“Alright, I’ll arrange it. You should also take care of yourself and get some rest,’ said Zac. He was being gentler than usual.
When Aurora heard these words coming from Zac, she was shocked. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Aurora had never thought that she would still be able to hear Zac say such things to her in her lifetime.
Then the call got disconnected.
Aurora put down her hand, and when she returned to the small bed in the ward, she couldn’t sleep anymore.
During the business trip, Aurora received several calls from the manager of the Buchanna Group to discuss the specific details of the cooperation.
Aurora could only delay it, thinking of waiting for Zac to return before making plans.
Unexpectedly, while Aurora was waiting, another person from the Buchanna
Group came, Saul.
When Saul appeared in front of Aurora with his assistant and secretary, he only said one thing, “The cooperation between the Buchanna Group and the Bennet Group must be implemented within a week. Otherwise, the Buchanna Group will hold the Bennet Group responsible for breaking the contract.” “But Mr. Buchanna has already promised to give me some more time.”
The secretary, Hugh, behind Saul immediately said with a cold face, “Ms. Bennet, Mr. Gates didn’t come here to listen to your private affairs. Your relationship with Mr. Buchanna has nothing to do with the company! At present, Mr. Gates is in charge of this project, understood?” Aurora frowned. Of course, she knew that she could not drag this on any longer. But Zac did agree with her request.
Moreover, Ms. Bet should also know how you got this contract. Why don’t you submit the termination application yourself to avoid unnecessary complications? Once you go through legal procedures, you have no chance of winning at all.” Hugh was being aggressive. He almost put the contract termination document in front of Aurora on the spot. “Hugh.”
Saul said coldly, stopping Hugh from continuing, “After all, this is Mr. Buchanna’s ex-wife. You should mind your words.” Only then did the secretary named Hugh
Mann shut his mouth. His look and expression already explained eve hing. Aurora felt very uncomfortable. “You can go out first. I want to talk to Ms.
Bennet alone.” Saul raised his hand. It couldn’t be told what his expression was. The door closed. A smile appeared on Saul’s face. He said, “Ms. Bennet, you don’t need to listen to those people. I believe that Mr. Buchanna must have his reasons for handing over this project to you. Moreover, I don’t want to interfere with your cooperation.” Aurora listened to him quietly and felt that it was not that simple. “However, the Buchanna Group has got its success not beuse it has relied on connections. Some things have to be done according to the rules. The manager has contacted you several times, but you’ve been deliberately stalling. I have reason to suspect that the Bennet Group cannot take on this project at all. In other words, this time, Mr. Buchanna has misjudged the situation.” Aurora frowned even more and said, “Not…” “Not what?” Saul suddenly leaned over to her side.
All of a sudden, all the reasons that Aurora had thought of were stuck in her throat. She needed this opportunity. The one that came from the impulse of Zac, who wanted to torture and use her. Aurora could not give un
Zac was right. He was the only one who could bring the Bennet Group back to life. Aurora made up her mind and looked up again. Her smile was bright. She said, “There are some things that Mr. Gates and I can’t decide. As far as I know, Mr.
Buchanna will be back tomorrow. How about we meet again and talk after he comes back?” Saul immediately raised his eyebrows and said, “Even if Zac comes back, can you guarantee that he will stand on your side?”
“I’m only talking to Mr. Buchanna. Sorry, I still have a patient to take care of,” Aurora replied. With that, Aurora up and walked towards Alma’s ward. “That servant is the old servant of the
Buchanna fámily. She does have a deep relationship with Zac, but if you want to achieve a certain goal by carrying favor with her, I’m afraid it’s unlikely. You should know better than me how indifferent and cruel Zac is. You should talk to me about this deal.”
Aurora paused and asked, “Let me make a bold guess. Mr. Gates, you asked me to give up this project because you want to give it to Swon Group, right?” Saul narrowed his eyes.
After a long while, Saul had a bigger sinile. He said, “s. Bennet is indeed a smart woman, but sometimes, it is a bad thing for a woman to be too smart.” “I’m sorry. I’m not like Wenny, who is weak and incompetent.” Aurora glanced at Saul. Aurora was right.
Saul had come for the Swon family. Davis couldn’t wait anymore and had asked for Saul’s help. Or perhaps, they had come to some sort of deal.
But all of that had nothing to do with Aurora. What Aurora had to do was wait for Zac to come back, but she could not guarantee that he would definitely be on her side
