Divorced

Chapter 605

Aveline felt a surge of frustration building up inside her.

Lucas was so unpredictable!

However, she couldn’t afford to give up now–not when things were still unresolved. Especially after her conversation with Ruth today, the guilt and responsibility weighed even heavier on her. If it weren’t for her, Ruth wouldn’t have suffered so much.

Exhaling slowly, Aveline asked, “Lucas, why don’t you want to talk to me? Is it something I said? Should I change the way I speak?”

Lucas raised an eyebrow, clearly annoyed. He was starting to think he should limit her time with Selena- she was definitely picking up some bad habits.

Without warning, he grabbed her and yanked her inside, slamming the door shut before pinning her against it.

“Uh…” Aveline let out a soft gasp, caught off guard by his sudden move.

Lucas stared at her intensely. “Go ahead, change it. Let’s see.”

“I…” Aveline started to speak but stopped short when she met his gaze. The words seemed to stick in her throat as if she couldn’t figure out what to say next. His gaze looked too dangerous.

“What’s the matter? Where’s that confidence you had just now?” Lucas sneered, his voice dripping with mockery.

Aveline sighed. “Lucas, what’s your problem? You’re the one causing trouble, so why are you acting so unreasonable?”

She wondered if he ever would get tired of this.

Lucas tightened his grip on her chin, his handsome face darkening with a dangerous edge. “Aveline, you know exactly what you were up to today.”

At his words, Aveline frowned. “You were following me?”

Lucas‘ expression grew even colder. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Aveline pushed his hand away. “His family shouldn’t be dragged into this. Even if you have an issue with Sidney, his mother is innocent. She’s suffering because of what happened to me. Shouldn’t I go and check on her? Lucas, I’m not like you–I’m not that heartless.

Lucas let out a cold laugh as he looked into her clear eyes. “If that’s the case, why don’t you ever learn?”

“What?” Aveline’s frown deepened. “What are you trying to say?”

Lucas spoke coldly, “The reason I’m doing this is because I can’t stand seeing you get close to him. If you’re smart, you’ll keep your distance, and I won’t target him anymore. Aveline, the things he’s going through are because of you.”

Aveline felt a surge of anger bubbling up inside her, but she held it back. “So, I can’t even have a friend anymore, is that it?”

“Exactly!”

Lucas‘ eyes bore into hers. “You should have understood this from the beginning.”

Aveline let out a bitter laugh, curling her lips in self–mockery. “Then why don’t you just lock me up? That way, I won’t have contact with anyone and might as well not even be a person.”

With that, she turned, opened the door, and walked out, leaving the conversation once again on a sour note.

Lucas‘ expression darkened as he yanked at his tie, but the frustration in his chest wouldn’t ease.

Lock her up? Ha! That would probably be a good idea!

When Aveline returned home, her face was still clouded with frustration. Seeing this, Selena asked, What’s wrong?”

Aveline replied, “Nothing, just ran into an infuriating man.”

Selena blinked. “That infuriating man wouldn’t happen to be called Lucas, would he?”

Aveline sighed. “Wow, you’re so smart.”

Selena’s lips twitched.

”

She sighed. “He’s the only one who can get under your skin like this. But honestly, this push and pull between you two is going nowhere. How about you just kill him, and we all go down together? Problem solved. What do you think?”

Aveline was left speechless.
