Chapter 24
“Six million and the house, don’t you want them anymore?”
Lucas looked at her with an emotion in his eyes that Aveline couldn’t decipher.
Aveline clenched her fists, staring at him, and suddenly felt deflated.
She did want them.
With money and a house, she wouldn’t have to work anymore. She could leave this city, go far away, and make sure he could never find her.
Oh… how naive of her. As if he would ever look for her.
Keeping a cold face, she found the first aid kit, sat down beside him, opened it, and began disinfecting his wound.
“It hurts,” he said softly.
His deep, magnetic voice, slightly hoarse, carried his unique roughness, making it a real temptation to Aveline.
Her breathing became slightly erratic, and instead of being gentle, her movements became more forceful.
This time, Lucas didn’t say anything.
He just watched her quietly. Her expression was indifferent, her delicate features stunningly beautiful. Though she usually didn’t wear makeup, she had a touch of purity about her.
Two completely different temperaments blended well within her. “It’s done.”
Her cold voice broke his thoughts,
As Aveline packed up the first aid kit, she said, Mr. Tudor, please keep your word. I want to see the check and the deed by tomorrow morning. Then I’ll go with you to file a divorce.
She closed the first aid kit with a snap and turned to look at him.
“If you were to back out, then we wouldn’t get divorced. We can just drag this out. It won’t be my loss anyway.”
With that, she picked up the first aid kit, put it away, and went straight into the bedroom.
Lucas stared at the beautiful bow on his arm, his eyes darkening.
After taking a shower, Aveline wore only a camisole nightdress. She planned to have a glass of water before going to bed, assuming he had left. But when she opened the door, she saw him still sitting on the sofa in the same position, unmoving.
