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

She had no idea how to even get the toothpaste onto the toothbrush...

Gripping the brush tightly, she finally squeezed the toothpaste directly onto her teeth before starting to brush.

By the time she finished and came out, half an hour had passed.

Wanda hurried over to support her. "Miss Young, let me help you this way."

Aveline didn't resist, allowing Wanda to guide her.

After settling on the sofa, Wanda placed a plate and fork in her hands. Though it was difficult for her to eat, Aveline managed to get the food down.

Her face was expressionless, her entire being numb.

At noon, that man came again.

Today, he actually sat down to eat with her!

Aveline blinked and asked, "Are you still not going to tell me who you are?"

"It doesn't matter," he responded.

Aveline frowned. "Then why are you keeping me here? What exactly do you want?"

This time, he stayed silent.

Not knowing the reason or his purpose, everything remained a mystery.

Aveline gripped the fork tightly, her gaze lowered. "Can you at least fix my eyes? I can't adapt to living like this."

"No," he replied without hesitation.

In a flash, Aveline grabbed the plate in front of her and hurled it at him!

Wanda's startled cry echoed with the sound of the plate striking something before shattering onto the floor.

Aveline's face turned cold, and she didn't utter a word.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sir, are you alright?" Wanda rushed to his side, anxiously checking the wound on his face.

His forehead had been grazed, but he ignored it, his gaze fixed on Aveline's icy expression.

He didn't blame her, simply stood up and left without a word.

Wanda looked at Aveline disapprovingly. "Miss Young, how could you do that?"

Aveline let out a cold laugh. "I don't have a knife right now. If I did, I'd stab him to death without hesitation!"

"You!" Wanda gasped in shock and quickly turned to leave.

Aveline closed her eyes for a moment. Why couldn't she act like this?

How was it fair that he could

blindfold her, lock her up somewhere she didn't know, and keep her in the dark? He could do whatever he wanted, but she wasn't allowed to fight back?

No way. That kind of "justice" didn't exist in this world!

Without the appetite to eat, Aveline groped her way to the sofa and pulled a cushion into her arms, feeling completely lost.

...

At Maple Garden.

Lucas hadn't slept for a day and a night, his sharp eyes bloodshot, and his face dark with frustration.

Desmond walked in with a serious

expression. "Mr. Tudor, we've

checked all the routes out of the city, but there's no sign of Miss Young."

Lucas, a cigarette dangling from his lips, narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Get in touch with Rina."

Desmond was taken aback. "Mr. Tudor, why Rina?"

Lucas let out a cold sneer. "Maybe she'll surprise me."

Desmond couldn't understand why Lucas would think that. What connection could there be between Aveline's disappearance and Rina? Nonetheless, he went to carry out the order.

Just then, Lucas' phone rang.

Glancing at it, he saw it was a call from Mark. He answered and put it on speaker.

Mark's voice came through. "Lucas, are you neglecting the group now? You haven't given any explanation about the situation online, you're not attending meetings or leading the company. If you don't want to stay in the Chairman position anymore, step down and stop holding up the company's progress!"

Lucas' voice turned icy. "Mr. Lewis, how's your son enjoying life abroad? Have you checked in on him recently?"
