After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324 

Aveline bought chicken, corn, and some other vegetables, and then started preparing nourishing meal as soon as she got back. Sitting on the sofa, she took out her phone and messaged Selena. 

Aveline texted, “I sold my house, so I’m temporarily staying at your place.” 

Selena replied, “No problem, you can stay there as long as you need!” 

Aveline asked, “When are you coming back?” 

Selena responded, “It might be a while. The scenery here in Stonefall City is pretty nice. I’ll bring you a gift when I return.” 

Aveline texted back, “Alright, I’ll wait for you.” 

Just as she exited the chat with Selena, Lucas called. 

She answered with a cold tone, “Hello?” 

Lucas asked, “When are you coming back?” 

Aveline replied, “Back where?” 

Lucas said, “The Bluewater Bay Villa, I’ve been staying here.” 

Aveline retorted, “What does that have to do with me?” 

Lucas fell silent. 

His breathing grew heavier, and even through the phone, she could sense his shifting emotions. 

“Aveline, we’re still married. 

“Ha!” Aveline let out a cold laugh. “Which law states that married people must live together?” 

Lucas was speechless. 

Aveline said coolly, “If there’s nothing important, don’t call me.” 

As she was about to hang up, she added, “If it’s about the divorce, let me know.” 

With that, she hung up. 

Tossing her phone aside, she went to the kitchen to check on the chicken soup. 

In the cold–toned office, the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating. Lucas stared at the disconnected call, his expression grim. 

He knew where Aveline was. 

But if he went to find her now and forced her back, she would resist. It might even worsen their already distant relationship, though it was already at rock bottom.

At that moment, Desmond walked in. “Mr. Tudor, Miss Winter has arrived.” 

Lucas responded, “Lock her up first.” 

“Yes, sir.” Desmond nodded, unable to help but sigh inwardly. 

Lucas would never have treated Sophia this way before. 

This time, Sophia had really crossed the line.

In the evening, Aveline brought a food container to the hospital. As soon as she stepped into Russell’s room, Brian sent her location to Lucas‘ phone. 

Lucas coldly ordered, “To the hospital.”
