After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 355

Chapter 355 

At that moment, the door suddenly opened. 

Aveline stood there with a face mask on, her eyes devoid of any warmth as she looked at them. 

“What are you doing?” 

The locksmith hesitated and instinctively looked at Lucas. 

Lucas stared at her, his voice hoarse, “Aveline, I didn’t know you were in danger. I…” 

“Do you need something?” Aveline coldly interrupted him. 

Lucas pressed his lips into a tight line, the feeling in his chest growing more intense. 

He said, “Let me in, we need to talk. 

Aveline replied, “I’m tired and want to sleep.” 

But Lucas grabbed the door, not allowing her to close it. 

Aveline looked at him and suddenly asked, “Lucas, I hadn’t been saved today, if I had been taken, would you regret it?” 

Lucas replied, “That wouldn’t happen. I would find you. 

Aveline persisted, “Would you regret it?” 

She was fixated on this answer. 

But she knew it was meaningless. 

Upon learning that he had left her in danger to see Sophia, her heart had already died. 

Completely dead. 

Lucas, trying to be patient, said, “Aveline, I said that wouldn’t happen. I wouldn’t let you be taken.” 

Aveline said, “I guess you wouldn’t regret it. Without me, you still have Miss Winter, or even Miss Rebecca, or any other woman. So, can you please stop looking for me? I’m really tired and want to rest. 

She reached out and pried his fingers off the door. 

But Lucas forcefully walked in! 

The door closed behind him, and he stared at her with his dark, narrow eyes. “Why won’t you listen to my explanation? I went to see Sophia because she knows…” 

“I don’t care.” 

Aveline stepped back, maintaining her distance from him. 

Lucas‘ throat felt like it was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.

Her demeanor hadn’t changed; she was always distant with him. But he noticed a subtle difference. 

Her gaze now held nothing but coldness. 

Before, there would still be some fluctuations, some emotion. 

Now, there was nothing. 

Lucas was deeply unsettled. 

He grabbed her wrist, pulling her close, and demanded in a low voice, “Say it again!” 

Aveline responded, “Even if I say it ten times, it’s the same. I don’t care who you’re with or who your went to see. I don’t…” 

Before she could finish, Lucas cupped the back of her head and kissed her! 

Annoyed by the mask on her face, he tore it off and threw it aside, pressing her against the foyer cabinet and kissing her fiercely!
