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

Aveline couldn't help but sigh before answering the call. "Hello?"

Lucas' deep, magnetic voice came through, his tone revealing no emotion. "Aveline, it's been two hours already. Where are you?"

Aveline cast a glance towards the ward before responding, "Something unexpected has come up on my end. I won't be able to make it today. Let's reschedule our visit to the lawyer's office for tomorrow instead."

"You wish." Lucas scoffed lightly. "I already agreed to your request, but you're the one who didn't show up, Aveline. Not everyone has time to wait for you."

Aveline closed her eyes briefly. She had anticipated this outcome.

After a pause, she asked, "Then what about the court session?"

Lucas let out a cold laugh. "Even if you bring it up to court, I won't attend. Aveline, I have no intention of divorcing you. I've always been very clear about that." Aveline had nothing more to say.

Yes, of course.

This was such a good opportunity, and yet so many things had gone wrong.

Could it really be that fate didn't want them to divorce?

But what was the point of staying together?

Aveline couldn't figure it out, and she decided not to dwell on it anymore. "Alright, I understand," she said, before promptly hanging up the phone.

She turned around to arrange for a caregiver.

...

Lucas stared at the disconnected call, his eyebrows furrowing.

In fact, he was still standing at the entrance of the lawyer's office.

The lawyer was still waiting for them to settle the divorce.

All he had to do was tell her to come over now, and they could finalize the procedure.

But why would he say that?

His stance had always been unwavering-he didn't want a divorce!

The only reason he agreed to it in the first place was because he couldn't stand looking into her gloomy, dark eyes anymore.

Her eyes used to sparkle with light.

And now?

He had waited for her all day, and she never showed up!

He had given her a chance, but she refused it!

So, she couldn't blame him now.

Lucas glanced over at Desmond and said calmly, "Find out what happened to her today."

"Got it."

The car drove away from the lawyer's office, and Lucas closed his eyes to rest in the back seat. When he returned to the hospital, he received the information Desmond had managed to uncover. As he looked over the details, a faint smile tugged at his thin lips.

It seemed fate truly didn't want them

to divorce. They had been just one intersection away, and then something like this happened...

Clearly, they were meant to be together!

swr

Lucas' mood brightened considerably, and he even sent Desmond a bonus.

Desmond finally

understood whenever the couple's relationship.was harmonious, his bonus would surely double. From then on, he would be praying daily for them to reconcile soon, so he could get rich faster and reach the peak of his life! Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

After arranging for a caregiver, Aveline returned to the ward and saw that Annie had fallen asleep. However, she didn't seem to be sleeping well. Her brows were furrowed tightly, and her whole body was tense. Aveline sat by the bedside, frowning. What kind of family would force a disabled child to earn money? "Don't hit me, I can make money..."

At that moment, Annie suddenly cried out in her sleep and then opened her eyes wide, filled with terror and panic. Aveline quickly spoke, "Annie, it's okay. No one is hitting you. You're in the hospital. You're safe."

Annie looked at her in fright, as if just realizing where she was,

tears suddenly started strandet

down her face.

"Aveline, I... I have to go home. I must go home. If I don't, my parents will beat me to death..."
