After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 

Aveline returned to her workstation, feeling utterly absurd. 

She really couldn’t understand what Lucas was thinking. 

Didn’t he care about Sophia? 

Then why was he entangled with her like this? 

Anger, sadness, and a mix of emotions intertwined, leaving her feeling deeply powerless. 

Just then, she received a call from Selena. 

“Ave, are you at work?” Selena’s voice sounded weak. 

“Yes, I’m at work. What’s wrong?” Aveline asked. 

Selena sighed dramatically. “I’ve had enough! I’ve never seen such a picky man. He was discharged, and since my place is far from his, he suggested I move in with him. 

“I certainly can’t do that! I’m a beautiful woman; moving in would be like walking into the lion’s den! So, guess what happened?” 

“What happened?” Aveline prompted. 

“He called me at 2:30 in the morning asking for a cheeseburger. Where am I supposed to find that at this hour? I lost it! I refused, and he threatened me. This guy is such a pain!” 

Aveline didn’t expect Aaron to be like this. After hesitating, she asked, “How long until he recovers?” 

“The doctor said it would take a month, but if he doesn’t get stressed, maybe a bit sooner,” Selena 

replied. 

Aveline furrowed her brows and said after a moment, “Why don’t you move in?” 

“What? What did you say? Listen to yourself! You’re pushing me, a beautiful woman, into the lion’s den!” Selena exclaimed. 

Aveline’s mouth twitched. “I just don’t want him to keep bothering you. Maybe if you move in, he’ll 

calm down.” 

Selena was quite reluctant. “No, whenever I see him, I still think about smashing his head.” 

Aveline smiled helplessly. “Alright then.” 

Selena changed the topic. “But I’ve already thought of a way to get back at him, Ave. Just watch, I’ll make him pay!” 

Aveline cautioned, “Take it easy, don’t let him catch you off guard.” 

Selena reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ve got experience in this.” 

Aveline was about to say more when her email pinged with the work she needed to handle today.

She said, “I can’t talk now, I have to get busy.” 

“Okay.” 

After hanging up, Selena glanced at Aaron in the bedroom, sneered, and then logged into another WhatsApp account. 

For this account, she used a profile picture of an innocent–looking college girl and a cute username.
