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

Gernard hadn't expected Lucas to be so direct.

He wondered if Lucas had any sense of boundaries.

Gernard frowned slightly as he looked at Lucas and said, "Naturally, it's something between her and me, and it has nothing to do with you."

Lucas, however, replied with a half-smile, "I don't believe you."

Aveline ignored Lucas and said to Gernard, "Let's go over there."

A short distance away, a small park lay bathed in warm sunlight, a few people leisurely strolling along its paths. The air was filled with a light breeze, just enough to feel refreshing without a hint of chill. "Alright."

Gernard nodded and walked with Aveline toward the park. After a few steps, he glanced back at Lucas with a look of mockery in his eyes.

Lucas just stared at Aveline for a long moment before sighing in resignation.

What else could he do? Right now, she was his queen, and he had to keep her happy!

In the park, Gernard asked, "Have you made up with him?"

Aveline shook her head. "No."

Gernard looked at her, puzzled. "But you're here together with him."

Aveline glanced at him and replied, "If I said it was a coincidence, would you believe me?"

Gernard seemed a bit exasperated. "It doesn't strike me as a coincidence. Feels more intentional. Aveline, Myron's schedule is packed. If you don't make it to court soon, your case is going to get pushed back even more." Aveline nodded. "I know. I'm planning to drop the lawsuit."

Hearing this, Gernard was even more surprised and asked, "Why?"

Aveline sighed. "Divorce requires mutual consent. As long as one of us refuses, it won't happen. Filing a lawsuit is pointless."

If Lucas wanted to play stubborn, there wasn't much anyone could do.

Gernard frowned and said, "That's true, but dragging things out like this isn't a solution either."

"That's true," Aveline acknowledged. "But can I do? Lucas refuses to

She added, "It's fine. Given enough time, he'll agree." Gernard looked at her with concern, unable to find the right words.

between his fingers, his expression cold and impatient.

Aveline walked over and turned to Gernard. "I'm leaving now, Mr. Cooper. Goodbye."

Gernard nodded. "If you need anything, just call me."

"Alright."

Aveline nodded, but suddenly, her wrist was grasped by someone. She paused and turned, only to meet Lucas' sharp, icy gaze. "What are you doing?" she asked.

Lucas replied, "Just checking if someone's been brainwashing you."

Aveline looked at him, puzzled. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Lucas's voice was cold as ice. "Why else would you be gone for so long? It's the middle of the day-keep your distance from other men."

Aveline scoffed. "I think you're mentally sick."

She pulled her hand free and got into the car.

Lucas' dark eyes glinted with a hint of gloom. He extinguished his cigarette and turned to get into the car as well.

When they returned, Zachary was in the middle of teaching a class to the children.

Aveline glanced at Lucas and asked, "Are you leaving tonight?"

Lucas responded, "Do you want to leave? Then let's go."

Aveline nodded. "Alright, let's leave together."

There was still a lot of time left in the afternoon, and Aveline decided to head back to her room to rest for a while-she hadn't slept well the previous night.

But suddenly, a loud banging sound came from the direction of the warehouse.
