After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 

Thinking about the madness of the previous night made her legs weak. She quickly shook off those thoughts and got up. 

As she stepped out of bed and put weight on her feet, her legs buckled, and she nearly fell. 

That bastard! 

Cursing him silently, Aveline steadied herself for a moment before heading to the bathroom. 

She had washed her clothes after showering last night, and now they were dry. After freshening up, she found the bedroom door open, with the maid having already tidied the bed. 

Maintaining a facade of composure, she walked downst 

Alfred greeted her with a smile, “Good morning, ma’a…….. Breakfast is ready.” 

Aveline nodded and headed to the dining room. 

Just as she entered, she heard the steady footsteps of a man behind her. He pulled out the chair next to her and sat down. 

Aveline kept her eyes lowered, eating her oatmeal in small bites. 

Lucas‘ gaze slowly swept over her, his eyes dark and deep. 

Aveline felt uneasy under his stare but didn’t want to engage in conversation. She only hoped that once they got to the company, he would approve her resignation. 

After finishing her meal, Aveline looked up at him and asked, “Are we going to the company together?” 

Lucas replied, “If you want to walk, I have no objections.” 

Aveline fell silent. 

Why did he have to speak so rudely? 

She stayed silent, waiting for him to finish eating. 

Lucas wiped the corner of his mouth and stood up. Aveline immediately followed him to the car, her heart fluttering with anticipation.

Once they arrived at the company, she planned to bring up her resignation again, hoping he would agree since he had promised. 

Noticing the faint excitement in her eyes Lucas‘ expression darkened. 

Was she that happy about resigning? 

His face turned cold, adding to the oppressive atmosphere in the car. 

Aveline sensed the shift but didn’t dwell on it. Soon, they reached the company. 

To her surprise, they ran into Sophia at the entrance. 

Aveline paused as she was about to get out of the car, a bitter smile crossing her face. It was funny in a sad way – she was his lawful wife, but now she felt like a mistress he wanted to keep hidden. 

Lucas got out of the car and asked Sophia, “Why are you here?” 

Sophia’s gaze shifted from the car, noticing Aveline. Seeing them arrive together, she wondered if they had spent the night together. The thought made her furious, but there were more pressing matters at hand. 

She said, “Lucas, my cousin works at DK Group, but she went missing after 

returning home last night. Her family can’t reach her, so I came to ask if you know where she might be.” 

She smiled slightly. “If she did something wrong, could you forgive her for my sake? She is quite capable, after all.” 

Lucas asked, “What’s her name?”
