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

"And that line he used earlier, 'Don't you like my face?'-ugh, it's unbelievable. He'll do anything to get what he wants." Selena sat beside her, thinking about what Lucas had said to Aveline earlier, and couldn't help but shiver in disgust.

Aveline fell silent for a moment.

It really seemed like Lucas was behaving strangely. Had he realized that she had a weak spot for his face and was deliberately using that against her?

Thinking more about what Selena said, it did seem to make sense. His behavior over the past few days wasn't much different from before.

When Aveline first met Lucas, he seemed lost and out of place, yet he trusted her without reason. If she suggested he read, he would do it. He was a remarkably quick learner, swiftly mastering sign language and handwriting. He'd often sit quietly on the living room sofa, absorbed in a book...

Aveline abruptly shut her eyes, forcing herself to stop thinking about it. Those days were in the past.

The Lucas of today wasn't going to lose his memory again.

...

In the following days, news of the successful merger between the Tudor family and DK Enterprises dominated the headlines, solidifying the Tudor family's position as the leading enterprise in Cloudflare City.

Lucas' mood was noticeably sour. Everyone could sense it because whenever he appeared, his expression was always cold and grim.

Aveline attributed his mood to the company's affairs.

Even though he claimed not to care, that company was his hard work and passion. Watching it be taken away, who could truly remain calm? However, she didn't dwell on it. Whether he was heartbroken or upset had nothing to do with her.

After nearly two months of rehabilitation, Aveline's body had almost fully recovered, and tomorrow was the court date.

The lawyers recommended by Russell and Gernard both visited Aveline that day to discuss the details of the upcoming hearing.

As the plaintiff, Aveline had already submitted evidence proving the discord in their marriage, seeking to dissolve it.

After finishing their discussions, the group went out for dinner. By the time they returned to Maple Garden, night had already fallen.

Selena wasn't home.

Aveline checked her phone and saw a message from Selena, saying she would be back late tonight.

She replied, "Have fun," then put her phone away and headed to her bedroom.

Entering the bathroom, she undressed and began to shower.

With the court date only three days away, her emotions were a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Freedom was within reach!

She even started humming a tune.

But suddenly, the bathroom door swung open, startling her. She quickly grabbed a towel.

"Lucas, what are you doing?"

She clumsily wrapped herself, staring at the tall man approaching with a calm yet intense expression.

As he drew closer, the strong scent

of alcohol hit her, and his gaze was

as dark and deep as a well,

threatening to pull her in if she

wasn't careful.

Lucas stepped closer with each passing moment, and Aveline, sensing danger, backed away,

frantically looking around for

something she could use to defend herself.

But there was nothing.

In the end, she was cornered against the wall.

His tall figure loomed over her, and her small frame seemed even more vulnerable. Her eyes filled with anger as she glared up at him. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"What do you think you're doing?"

She struggled to keep her voice calm, not wanting to provoke him.

Right now, he looked incredibly dangerous!
