Divorced

Chapter 505

“Why not?” Selena asked.

Aveline replied, “Lucas and I have reconciled.”

“What?”

Selena raised her voice suddenly as if she had jumped up on the other end. A jumble of noises came through.

“Ave, you’re not joking, are you? This isn’t funny at all,” Selena said, completely flustered. She had been the harshest critic of Lucas, constantly urging them to divorce. Now Aveline was telling her they had reconciled? Their reconciliation made her feel like a fool!

Selena’s voice grew more urgent. “Ave, have you forgotten all the hurt you’ve suffered? Hasn’t he hurt you deeply enough? How can you reconcile with him?”

Aveline felt terribly sad. She wanted to blurt out the truth, but Lucas was right – the fewer people who knew the truth, the less risk they faced. If someone were to learn something from Selena, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

She just wanted to return to a normal life. Running away couldn’t solve the problem.

Aveline closed her eyes for a moment and then said, “This incident made me realize I still can’t let him go. I want to try reconnecting with him.”

Selena gritted her teeth. “You’ve really forgotten the pain once the wound has healed!”

She was too angry to say anything else!

When it came to others, she could chatter endlessly like a machine gun, but faced with Aveline, she couldn’t find the words.

Selena sighed and sank into her chair. After calming down, she said, “Ave, since you’ve made your decision, I hope you don’t regret it. I’ll be really busy for a while, so don’t try to contact me. Even if you do, I won’t have time for you.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Selena…” Aveline called out her name in surprise.

But the call had already ended. She stared at the dark screen of her phone, feeling very upset.

Selena was angry.

If it were someone else, they would probably be even angrier.

Lucas said calmly, “Once this is resolved, I’ll treat her to dinner and apologize.”

Aveline pressed her lips together, staying silent. Seeing her demeanor, Lucas didn’t press her further and turned to leave. As he turned, a faint smile curved his lips.

Aveline remained in her room, refusing to eat or drink. Lucas hoped that giving her some time. to calm down would help, but after a day had passed with no change, his patience wore thin. He decided to go to the bedroom.

Aveline was still lying on the bed, her eyes vacant. Lucas stood by the bed and said softly,” Aveline, get up and eat.”

Her voice was hoarse as she replied, “I’m not hungry.”

Lucas insisted, “Even if you’re not hungry, you need to eat. Why are you acting this way? Are you having second thoughts?”

He leaned down, gently turning her to face him, his eyes dark and intense. “If you’ve changed your mind, you can leave now. I won’t stop you.”

Aveline’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. After a brief silence, she said, “Okay, I’ll go eat.”

Feeling relieved, Lucas helped her up and watched as she went into the bathroom.

In the dining room, Lucas handed her a document. “This is all the information on the Winter family.”

Aveline didn’t look at it; instead, she took small bites of her food. She was weak and needed to regain her strength.

At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing Russell’s name on the screen, she hesitated but answered the call.

“Hello, Russ.”

As soon as she spoke, a cold gaze fell upon her.
