Chapter 358
Aveline looked at him. “Do you know what I was thinking last night when that man was chasing me and those two girls had tricked me?”
Lucas froze, his lips pressing into a tight line.
Aveline let out a bitter laugh. “I was thinking, I clearly told you I was in danger, so why didn’t you come? We’ve been married for so long, and you still have memories of Lu, so why didn’t you come? If it were Lu, he wouldn’t have stayed away. He wouldn’t have been so rough and told me to get out of
the car.
As she spoke, large tears began to fall, and the fear from the previous night surged up.
Her eyes were completely soaked with tears.
“Lucas, tell me, why? Why, when I told you I was in danger, didn’t you come?”
Lucas‘ breath tightened as he held her, his voice hoarse, “I’m sorry, Aveline.”
It was all he could say.
When he received her call, he immediately set out to find her, but then he thought, if she was willing to lower herself for Bobby’s sake, was her plea for help a deliberate ploy?
A ploy to make him return?
So, when Sophia’s call came, he went to her instead.
Now, he deeply regretted his decision from last night!
Fortunately, she was unharmed!
Everything could still be fixed!
Aveline pushed him away. “I don’t want you to hold me, let go.”
Her voice was full of grievance and sorrow.
How could Lucas bear to let her go?

He held her tightly, soothing her emotions. The intimate atmosphere had long vanished, and he had no interest in continuing what they were doing.
They stayed like that for an unknown length of time until Aveline’s emotions finally calmed down.
Her face rested on his shoulder, her eyes vacant as she said, “This incident is like a thorn, embedded in my heart. No matter what you do, it won’t come out”
Lucas‘ body tensed, but his deep, magnetic voice carried a touch of arrogance, “If I say it can be removed, then it can be. Aveline, I won’t let this thom stay in you.”
Aveline closed her eyes and pushed him away. “I’m really hungry.”
Lucas released her, saying, “I’ll have breakfast brought up.”

Aveline didn’t respond.
She continued to wash up, her eyes downcast and filled with indifference.
Once they had both finished freshening up, breakfast had already been delivered, along with Lucas”
clothes.
Lucas changed and came out to find Aveline already eating.
He walked over and sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her.
Aveline asked, “Why can’t you release Bobby?”
Lucas‘ expression grew colder. “That’s not something you should concern yourself with.”
