Divorced

Aveline sighed with relief. Working from home was a blessing in disguise, being late on her second day would have been a disaster.

However, she wasn’t to blame–this was all Lucas’s fault!

The way he acted last night, it was as if he hadn’t slept with a woman in ages!

But that couldn’t be true. He had just spent the night with a celebrity…

The thought made Aveline feel nauseous. She jumped out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom, where she started to vomit.

Lucas walked in just as she was stumbling. Hearing her retching, his face darkened, and he quickly went to her, placing a hand on her back. “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t touch me!” Aveline shoved him away.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes from the vomiting, and come began to gather, ready to fall. Her expression was one of pure disgust as if he were something filthy.

Lucas face turned even darker. “Do you think I’m dirty?”

Aveline didn’t reply and continued to retch until there was nothing left to throw up. She felt a bit better after rinsing her mouth and exhaled a shaky breath.

“Lucas, I want a divorce.”

She couldn’t convince herself. She couldn’t accept sharing a man with other women!

He was tainted!

She didn’t want him anymore!

Lucas stared at her intensely. Her pale face and trembling, fragile body showed just how unwell she was.

“Because I spent the night with another woman?”

“Yes!”

Aveline looked at him, nodding. “If we continue like this, neither of us will be happy. We should just divorce.”

Lucas stared at her and suddenly said, “Yet you said you’re not jealous.”

Aveline pressed her lips together.

Lucas continued, “I didn’t spend the night with another woman.”

His deep, magnetic voice was calm and unhurried as he explained, That night, we just happened to be staying at the same hotel. I was in the presidential suite. Without my permission, no one can go up. there, except you, my wife.”

He walked over and held her. “Aveline, I haven’t touched another

woman.”

Aveline’s body tensed, and she quickly turned away. “So what? I don’t love you anymore. Continuing this marriage is pointless.”

Lucas‘ mood darkened instantly as he stared at her back.

“Don’t even think about it,” he said coldly before leaving the bathroom.

Aveline felt completely drained as she sat on the bathroom floor, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

How pathetic she felt. She actually believed him after just a simple explanation!

If this continued, her resolute decision would definitely waver.

What was she supposed to do?

After a long time, she finally composed herself and came out of the bathroom. She changed her clothes and went downstairs to eat, finding that Lucas had already left.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Selena calling.

“Hello?”

Selena’s voice was anxious. “Ave, my house was robbed!”

Aveline frowned. “What happened?”

Selena said, “I just got home and found the door open. Everything inside is a mess. I’m checking to see if anything’s missing.”

Aveline said, “I’m coming over right now.”

“Okay.”
