After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 2

Earlier, when she heard his voice, it was mixed with music, making it hard to hear clearly. But now, his deep, magnetic voice came from right above her, so clear that it struck her heart, leaving her breathless with pain. 

He could speak.

However, he hadn’t told her about it immediately.

In fact, he wanted to divorce her.

All of it was true.

Why?

Why did he want a divorce?

Aveline wanted to ask, but she held back.

Why should he get to divorce her just because he wanted to?

Over the past year, she had done nothing to wrong him. Even if he wanted a divorce, he owed her an explanation!

Aveline’s heart felt cold, but she craved the warmth of his body, hugging him even tighter.

“Yes, I heard you talking to someone, but I didn’t catch what you said. Lucas, your voice is so nice.”

She kissed his back.

“Lu.”

It was what she called him only in their most intimate moments.

Whenever he heard it, he would respond with even more passion.

But tonight, Lucas pushed her away.

“I’m tired.”

Aveline’s face went pale as she looked at his straight back, suddenly feeling a surge of anger.

“But I want to, Lucas. You’re my husband; you should fulfill your duties as a husband!”

Why was he tired?

Had he already been with that other woman?

The next day.

When Aveline woke up, Lucas had already gone out. Panic immediately set in, and she hurriedly got out of bed to search for him.

Their home was a small two-bedroom apartment she had worked hard for years to buy. After marrying him, it had become a warm and cozy place.

She had imagined a bright future together. He was so talented, learning everything quickly. She had once said he would make a lot of money and buy them a bigger house. He had earnestly nodded and agreed back then.

He hadn’t gotten her the bigger house yet; he couldn’t leave!

Frantically searching the apartment, Aveline’s face grew paler. Just then, the door opened, and Lucas walked in carrying breakfast.

Seeing him, Aveline immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would run away.

Startled, Lucas asked, “What’s wrong?”

Aveline looked up, gazing into his dark eyes. “We’ll always be together, right?”

Lucas remained silent.
