Chapter 1564Â
The distance between them had begun to shrink, and that thought alone filled the fan with excitement. She felt a surge of devotion–an urge to do something for the woman she admired.Â
After they hung up, her heart was still pounding with emotion. She never imagined there would come a day when her idol would actually need her.Â
For so long, she had believed Yvonne was someone out of reach, someone untouchable. But now, that illusion had shattered.Â
She could finally help the person she loved, and that, to her, felt like an honor.Â
Fueled by that emotion, she began rallying other fans online, spreading hints and pairing Yvonne and Lucas together again.Â
Meanwhile, after ending the call, Yvonne’s lips curved into a satisfied smile.Â
She knew her top fan would take action soon–she understood her followers perfectly.Â
She had been subtly guiding them for a long time, feeding them cues to defend her and stirÂ
conversation online.Â
There were certain things she couldn’t do openly, but her fans could, and that was exactly her advantage.Â
She kept her own hands clean, letting others fight her battles, ensuring her image of kindness and grace stayed intact.Â
And when it came time to distance herself from the chaos, she could easily step back, untouched by any of it.Â
The thought thrilled her. A quiet excitement flickered in her chest as she refreshed her phone again and again, watching the latest posts roll in.Â
Each new comment praising Aurora made a shadow pass through her eyes–dark and cold.Â
“These people really have no sense at all,” Yvonne muttered, her grip on her phone tightening.Â
“Just wait, once everyone sees that Lucas and I are the real pair, I’ll love to see what they’ll say about Aurora then.”Â
Her fingers clenched harder around the phone, a flash of cruelty darkening her eyes.Â
But Aurora knew nothing of it.Â
Lying beside Lucas, she couldn’t help but feel a quiet rush of emotion.Â
From the moment he had hidden his identity to stay by her side, to now–when they had finally opened their hearts to each other–it had been a long, difficult journey.Â

They had faced countless challenges, and compared to others, making it this far together was no small feat.Â
She truly cherished what they had, but still, part of her ached at the thought of him keeping anything from her. What she wanted most was honesty between them.Â
Sharing the same pillow, Aurora felt his presence surrounding her completely–his scent, his warmth, his steady breathing.Â
And for reasons she couldn’t explain, it brought her a deep sense of peace.Â
She reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around him.Â
Surprised by her rare show of affection, Lucas smiled softly. “What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”Â
“No,” she murmured. “It’s just… when you’re here, I feel safe.”Â
Hearing that, Lucas’s lips curved into a proud smile.Â
So, he had already become someone she couldn’t do without.Â
Watching her lean into him so trustingly filled him with a warmth he couldn’t describe.Â
Yes, being needed like this was the most wonderful feeling in the world.Â
“Then I’ll never leave you,” he whispered. “You can rest easy now.Â
