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

The car was already waiting outside.

Once inside the car, Aveline hesitated. "We're just leaving like this?"

Lucas replied, "What, should we stay for breakfast tomorrow?"

Aveline kept quiet.

It was pointless trying to talk to him properly!

There was a brief silence in the car.

Back at the hotel, Aveline went into the room first to change clothes. and take a shower.

When she came out wrapped in a bathrobe, she saw Lucas on the phone, his expression gentle, and she could vaguely hear him calling someone "Sophia."

Aveline turned around and went back to her room.

What bad luck.

Lying on the bed with her phone, she couldn't sleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.

Her mind kept replaying the scene of Lucas standing in front of her, dealing with the Thompson's family butler.

So handsome!

So charming.

But soon, her thoughts shifted to him talking to Sophia.

Such a jerk.

She felt like stabbing him.

Frustrated, Aveline covered her head with a pillow, her whole body filled with conflicting and complicated emotions.

She tossed and turned all night, finally falling asleep around dawn.

The next day, she felt like she was suffocating and almost died!

She abruptly opened her eyes and met Lucas' amused gaze.

"What are you doing?"

Aveline pushed his hand away, looking at him displeased.

Lucas said, "Time to get up. I'm taking you to explore Larbor City today,"

Aveline looked at him as if he were crazy.

"What?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

Aveline reached up and ran her fingers through her hair, saying, Lucas, can we handle what we are supposed to do first?"

Lucas paused, glanced at his watch, and then started unbuttoning his shirt.

Aveline was momentarily stunned. "What are you doing?"

Lucas replied, "Didn't you say we should start doing what we're supposed to do?"

Aveline's eyes widened, her cheeks flushing. She immediately picked up a pillow and threw it at him!

This man is crazy!

How could he think about such things when they were about to get a divorce?

Lucas easily caught the pillow and placed it back on the bed, saying in a calm voice, "We can't get divorced in another city." Aveline's eyes widened. "Really?"

Lucas replied, "It's your choice to believe it or not."

With that, he turned and left her room.

Aveline stared ahead in a daze, completely dumbfounded. Had she come all this way for nothing?

She felt even more frustrated!

After freshening up, she came out of her room to find Lucas sitting on the sofa, handling emails on his phone.

"There's food on the table. Eat first," Lucas said without looking up.

Aveline ate with a blank expression, then asked, "When will your work here be finished?"

Lucas replied, "Not sure."

"Approximately?"

"Not sure."

Aveline was speechless.

Aveline almost squeezed her loaf until it was about to burst.

She took a deep breath before saying, "Lucas, are you trying to avoid the divorce? Does Miss Winter know about this?"

Lucas shifted his gaze from the phone screen to her face, his eyes dark and unreadable."

Aveline looked at him mockingly. "What?"

Lucas replied, "Where do you want to go?"

Aveline felt like she was talking to a wall.

Why did he always avoid giving a direct answer when it came to this matter?

He was the one who brought it up, yet now, due to his various issues, it kept getting delayed!

If it weren't for him, she would have already started her world tour by now!NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Aveline took another deep breath and said, "Lucas, dragging this out isn't fair to Miss Winter either. The sooner we get divorced, the sooner you can be openly responsible for her."
