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

As her body was lifted, Aveline instinctively clung to him, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

What did this mean?

Lucas ignored her gaze, placing her in the car before taking out a simple first aid kit and attending to her injured feet.

Aveline watched his actions, feeling a bit dazed, almost as if she were seeing Lu again.

He was Lu.

"Lu..."

"Don't get the wrong idea." Lucas's deep voice cut her off. "I just don't want to deal with anything unnecessary that would make you change your mind about the divorce."

His words felt like a sudden splash of cold water, extinguishing the tiny flicker of hope in her heart.

So that was the reason.

He was afraid she would change her mind.

Ha!

She pulled her foot back. "Don't worry. I won't take back what I said."

However, he held her delicate ankle firmly, making her unable to

move.

In her struggle, her skirt rode up, revealing her smooth, slender legs, creating a tantalizingly partial view.

Lucas's gaze traveled down her long legs. From his angle, he could see quite a bit.

Aveline quickly pulled her skirt down, a blush spreading across her fair face. "What are you looking at? Pervert."

Lucas let out a soft scoff, lifting his gaze to meet hers. His eyes. fixed on her face as he pulled her closer with a firm grip.

Aveline gasped, her hands instinctively pressing against hisThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

shoulders.

"We're still married. Isn't calling me a pervert a bit inappropriate?" Lucas stared at her beautiful face. "Besides, what have I done for you to call me a pervert?"

The man before her felt like a stranger to Aveline.

The face was still the same, but those dark, carried a hint of seductive mischief, his lips curved into a devilish smile, and his entire demeanor exuded a certain wickedness.

This was the real Lucas.

Aveline looked at him, her eyes shimmering. "Haven't you done enough?"

Her gaze fell on his hand gripping her ankle.

Those elegant fingers were now deliberately and sensually caressing her delicate skin.

Lucas's smile remained mischievous as he stared at her, his breath drawing closer as if he were recalling something.

The car door was wide open, but the atmosphere inside was thick with tension as if something was about to ignite.

But then, a sudden ringtone broke the moment.

The playful smile in his eyes vanished instantly. He pulled away from her and answered his phone. "Hello, Sophia."

Aveline felt like her heart was stabbed when she heard his deep, magnetic voice affectionately calling out another woman's name. She yanked her foot free, ignoring his suddenly cold expression, and pushed p She didn't need his help!

He had someone to be responsible for, and she was nothing!

Suddenly, he grabbed her hand, and she heard him speaking from behind. "Yes, I have something to take care of. I'll talk to you later."

Then he hung up the phone.

With a strong pull, Lucas yanked Aveline back. "What are you doing? Don't you realize your foot is injured?"

Aveline struggled forcefully. "Lucas, we're getting a divorce. If you keep tangling with me like this, it makes me think you don't actually want to divorce me!"

Her words caused the grip on her arm to abruptly loosen.

At that moment, her heart felt empty, leaving her with a cold, painful sensation.
