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

The tense atmosphere dissolved, giving way to a bone-chilling cold.

Both Lucas and Aveline turned to see Sidney emerging from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. His short hair was damp, and though his frame was slender, it was covered with a thin layer of muscle, giving him a youthful yet powerful appearance.

Lucas suddenly grabbed Aveline by her wrist and yanked her forward roughly. His icy voice cut through the air, "Aveline, what are you doing, hmm? Hiding a man in your home?"

Lucas radiated danger, his piercing eyes fixed on Aveline as if he wanted to bore a hole through her. Rage surged within him, spreading throughout his chest.

She had brought a man home!

If he hadn't come over tonight, would they have ended up in bed together?

And she had even cooked a whole meal for him!

Ha!

Lucas realized he had been far too lenient with her.

Aveline winced in pain, her face paling as she struggled to free her wrist. But Lucas' grip was too strong, and the pressure only hurt her more.

"What's wrong with you? He saved me today, I—”

Lucas cut her off coldly, "Why did he save you? What happened? Why didn't you tell me you were in trouble?"

His overwhelming presence and the dangerous aurà he exuded made Aveline tremble. Deep down, she still feared him. Because he was a madman! If pushed too far, he was capable of anything! Sidney stepped forward, his tone serious. "Mr. Tudor, let her go. Can't you see you're hurting her?"

Lucas kicked Sidney without hesitation, sending him stumbling back several steps, his face turning pale.

"Sidney!"

Sidney, pale and sweating from pain, shook his head weakly. "I'm... I'm fine." pain

But it was clear he was in significant pain, with sweat beading on his forehead.

Sidney said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause any misunderstanding. I noticed you have a Sidney said apologetically, "I' dryer in the bathroom, so I washed my clothes and put them in to dry. They should be ready soon."

Aveline reassured him, "No need to explain. I understand."

"Come here, Aveline!" Lucas's furious voice echoed, making the room feel even colder.

Aveline shuddered, then looked at Lucas, calming herself before speaking. "It's not what you think.

Someone tried to hurt me after work today, and he saved me. He even got injured in the process. I just wanted to thank him by inviting him over for dinner."

As she spoke, a feeling of injustice welled up inside her, her eyes turning red. He had accused her without hearing her out! She was so exhausted!

Lucas' expression remained grim. "Get over here. Don't make me repeat myself a third time!"

Seeing her standing so close to Sidney annoyed him even more.

Aveline didn't move. Instead, she helped Sidney up. "How are you feeling? Are you okay?" Sidney shook his head. "I'm fine."

Lucas noticed this, his expression darkening further. He said coldly, "Very well, ignoring me, huh?"

His gaze turned even more sinister. "If you don't want him dead, get over here!"

Aveline trembled and was forced to let go of Sidney.
