Sidney commented, “It looks really good,”

He took a bite, and his eyes lit up. “Delicious!”

Aveline smiled slightly. “Everyone who’s tried my cooking says that.”

She wasn’t trying to boast, but the truth was, everyone who tasted her food had praised it.

Sidney said, “With your cooking skills, you could open a restaurant. It would be a hit.”

Aveline nodded. “Sure, maybe when I retire, I’ll open a small restaurant. I’ll open it whenever I feel like it and close it whenever I don’t. Just for fun.”

Sidney laughed.

They ate quietly, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

However, with his injured right hand, Sidney had some trouble eating and had to take his time.

Aveline served him a bowl of soup and placed it by his side. “Try this.”

“Okay,” Sidney agreed.

But he didn’t hold the bowl securely, and it spilled all over his clothes and pants!

Aveline was startled. “Did you get burned?”

Sidney said, “No, I’m fine, but I might need to use your bathroom.”

Aveline nodded. “Go ahead, make sure you’re not hurt.”

Sidney went into the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water could be heard.

Aveline cleaned up the mess in the dining room, and just then, there was a knock at the door.

She paused. Who could it be at this hour?

She walked over and peered through the peephole, immediately recognizing Lucas by his tall frame and stern expression.

Aveline opened the door and asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”

Lucas looked her up and down and said, “You didn’t come back, so I had to come find you. What if you changed your mind?”

Aveline rolled her eyes and replied, “I just wanted to come home.”

Lucas smelled the aroma of the food. “Just finished cooking?”

He pushed past her and walked in as if he owned the place, making himself right at home.

Aveline frowned. “Hey, I didn’t invite you in.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Lucas shrugged off his coat, tossed it onto the sofa, and headed straight for the dining room. When he saw the two sets of dishes on the table, his expression darkened immediately. “Who’s here?”

Aveline replied coolly, “None of your business.”

She had no intention of telling him about Sidney being there and wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible. “I’m not going back tonight. You should leave

Lucas turned to look at her, his collar slightly open, exuding a casual air. But his handsome face was still cloaked in an icy chill, his eyes dark and cold, radiating a palpable frostiness. “Aveline, who’s here?”

Aveline frowned. “A friend. Why?”

Lucas countered, “Your only friend is Selena, and she wouldn’t be here right now.”

His tone was confident. Aveline’s face turned cold upon hearing this. “Lucas, we are just business partners. This is my personal matter.”

Lucas approached her, struggling to contain the emotions roiling within him.

Personal matter?

In his presence, she had no personal matters.

They weren’t even divorced!

For a moment, he almost wanted to tell her everything.

“Aveline, I didn’t get burned. You don’t have to worry about me,” Sidney’s gentle voice interrupted, breaking the tense atmosphere between them.

Lucas‘ eyes narrowed as he turned to face Sidney, his expression growing even darker.
