After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Selena said, "I'm just so angry."

Aveline sighed softly. "Your anger only brings suffering for both of us."

Selena choked, a few traces of guilt appearing on her delicate face. "I know I was wrong."

"Alright, weren't we going to have dinner together? This meal is on you," Aveline said.

"No problem!"

-Selena cheerfully agreed, linking her arm with Aveline's as they

walked to the roadside.

By the time they finished their meal, it was already evening.

Selena wanted to go home with Aveline, but Aveline refused.

"You've been taking care of me in the hospital for so long. Go home and rest well, or else you won't be pretty anymore," Aveline said.

Selena immediately covered her face. "Really? Am I not pretty anymore? That's unacceptable. I need to go home and take care of myself. Bye, Ave darling."

Watching her leave, Aveline's smile carried a touch of helplessness.

Returning directly to her apartment in the Waterfront District, she went upstairs. The light on her floor had gone out at some point, leaving the hallway shrouded in darkness.

She took out her key to unlock the door. As she entered and tried

to close the door behind her, a force prevented her from doing so.

"Who?"

Aveline exclaimed in surprise and turned around to see Lucas' handsome face.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

He had been hiding somewhere, seemingly waiting for a long time, as his body carried a slight chill.

Aveline pushed him. "Get out. You're not welcome in my house."

She remembered the humiliation he caused her today. What did he want now?

Lucas grabbed her wrist firmly, his voice low. "A luxurious apartment, six million. Don't you want it anymore?"

Aveline paused. "You can send the deed and the check directly to me. There's no need for you to trouble yourself."

Lucas tightened his grip on her wrist.

Aveline took a deep breath. "What are you going crazy

for?"

Lucas walked in, closing the door behind him.

He turned on the lights, and the room was suddenly bright.

Aveline pressed her lips together, looking at him. She pulled her hand away, her clear eyes filled with a hint of mockery. "What? Was my apology today not sincere enough? Should I apologize again? Tell me, h "Aveline," Lucas interrupted her, "why do you have to be so sarcastic?"

Aveline almost laughed in anger. "Listen to yourself. Is that how a person talks? Wasn't it you who made things difficult for me

first?"

As soon as she voiced her accusation, her eyes turned red. She immediately turned her head and took a deep breath. "Lucas, what happened today made me feel like I did something wrong you. But the truth is Her voice trembled slightly.

She tried hard to control her emotions, but his presence made it difficult. When he wasn't around, it was easier to keep

everything in check, but once he appeared, her emotions broke free.

How could he treat her like that?

She hadn't done anything wrong. Neither had Selena. Everything happened because they were perceived as a threat to Sophia's safety.

She gave a bitter smile. "We have nothing more to say. Bring the deed and the check, and we'll file for divorce immediately."

She didn't want to stay in this marriage for another day.

Lucas looked deeply at her, his lips pressed into a line, a heavy atmosphere surrounding him. He walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"Ave, my wound hurts," he said in a hoarse voice.

Aveline was really infuriated to the point of laughter.

"Lucas, do you have no shame?"

How could he say his wound hurt after everything she just said, without even a change in his expression?
