After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 

Lucas‘ tone was icy. “Who else would she love besides me?” 

Aaron paused, silently praising Lucas‘ baseless confidence. 

He didn’t want to hurt his friend’s ego any more, worried it might come back to bite him. So, he said, “You’re right, she’s only ever loved you. But watch out, she might stop loving you. Whether she loves you or not is her call, not yours.” 

Lucas‘ expression darkened. He didn’t want to listen to Aaron’s convoluted reasoning and hung up the phone. 

Ha! 

Aveline didn’t love him? Impossible. Those memories constantly reminded him that she loved him! 

After breakfast, Aveline left the house. 

By the time Lucas came downstairs, having changed into a fresh set of clothes, the dining room was empty. He looked at the butler and asked coldly, “Where is she?” 

The butler replied, “Mrs. Tudor left after finishing breakfast.” 

Lucas‘ handsome face grew even colder. 

Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw it was Yvonne calling. 

His eyes turned colder, but he still answered the call. “Hello, Mom.” 

Yvonne’s gentle voice came through, “Lucas, your grandmother’s birthday is coming up. Do you have any plans for the celebration?” 

Lucas replied, “Whatever we’ve done in previous years, we’ll do the 

same this year. 

Yvonne agreed, “That works. Don’t forget to bring Aveline back with you. Your grandmother loves her the most,” 

“I know,” Lucas responded curtly and then hung up. 

Barbara’s birthday celebration was in two weeks. 

Lucas held his phone, pondering for a long time, before finally setting it down and leaving. 

Aveline arrived at Maria’s studio and knocked on the door. Maria was talking to someone but turned around when she heard the -knock. Upon seeing Aveline, she smiled in surprise. “Aveline!” 

Aveline smiled slightly. “I’ve made up my mind. I want a spacious and bright office.” 

Maria was delighted. “I’ve saved a spot for you. Come on, let me show you!” 

Aveline nodded and followed Maria inside. As they walked, Maria explained the salary and benefits of working there. As an 

architectural designer, most of the earnings came from project commissions; whether one could make money depended entirely on 

their own skills. 

After understanding the details, Aveline said, “Boss, please take care of me from now on.” 

Maria immediately pulled out a contract. “I thought you would need more time to consider. Didn’t expect it to be so quick.” 

Aveline replied, “Something came up, so I’m not leaving for now.” 

Maria said, “If you need any help, just let me know.”

Aveline smiled slightly. “Boss, you’ve invested a lot to keep me. I’ll definitely work hard and help you achieve financial freedom as soon as possible!” 

Maria nodded. “Alright, my happiness in the latter half of my life depends on you!”
