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

Lucas reached out and ripped the tape off her mouth.

"Ouch!" Aveline cried out in pain, gasping for breath before saying, "Lucas, I've thought it over. I agree with what you asked.

Lucas raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "Why did you suddenly agree?"

Aveline pursed her lips, about to say something when a voice called out from afar. "Hey!"

"Can you stop chatting there?"

"The tide is rising!"

Aveline's expression froze. "Let's leave here first."

Lucas was already striding towards the shore, carrying her. He had just placed her in the car when Selena rushed over, throwing her arms around her and crying out, "Ave, you scared me to death! I thought I'd never see you again!"

Aveline stumbled back slightly, coughing twice. "Cough... don't do that, I'm fine."

Aaron's cold voice broke in, "If you keep hugging her like this, you might actually never see her again.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

After speaking, he frowned, wondering why he had spoken to her. This woman never understood when people were being kind...

Selena, however, ignored Aaron and quickly let go of Aveline, sniffling. "I'm sorry, let me untie you first. The Tudor family is full of awful people, I thought you'd be free after divorcing Lucas, but now Madam Barbara is causing trouble. What do they want? Will they only be satisfied when you're dead?"

As she finished speaking, a chill swept through the air.

Selena shivered, glanced at Lucas, and defiantly raised her chin. "What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, Lucas grabbed her by the collar and moved her aside before getting in the car and slamming the door.

Selena's eyes widened. "Hey! What are you doing? Open the door! I have more to say to Ave! You jerk, open the door!"

She banged on the door with all her might, but the people inside remained unmoved.

The engine started, and if Aaron hadn't pulled her away quickly, the car wheels would have. run over her feet! +15 BONUS

"Lucas, if you've got guts, don't run away!" Selena rolled up her sleeves, ready for a showdown

Ucas.

Aaron coolly remarked, "He's not running; he's sitting right there."

Selena suddenly turned and glared at Aaron. "Why did you pull me? Do you really think he'd run over my feet?"

Aaron frowned. "Selena, I know you're worried about Aveline, but can you stop attacking everyone? I didn't provoke you!"

In fact, he had been on edge all night, fearing Lucas might take his anger out on Selena!

Selena sneered. "You're his friend. You're both the same!"

With that, she turned and walked ahead.

Aaron's expression darkened completely.

What an ungrateful woman!

On the other side.

Russell sat in his car, observing the scene. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

After receiving Selena's message, he rushed over but was still a step too late.

Lucas had already rescued Aveline.

If...

If he had arrived first, would the outcome have been different?

Russell's face was hidden in the shadows as he pulled out his phone and made a call.
