After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 

Aveline was silent for a moment before saying, “But I think this situation might not be so easily resolved.” 

Selena was puzzled. “What, is he going to cling to me and demand I take responsibility? That’s ridiculous. We’re all adults; it’s normal to have some fun and then move on, right?” 

Aveline replied, “Just be careful. You did take his virginity, after all.” 

Selena groaned, “Gross.” 

Aveline said, “Get some rest. I’ll come by to see you later.” 

“Sure, just bring some good food. I’m counting on that meal to keep me going.” 

Aveline smiled wryly. “Alright, wait for it.” 

After hanging up, Aveline couldn’t help but sigh. Fate had a strange way of bringing together the most unlikely people. 

She continued with her skincare routine and, upon leaving the bedroom, saw Lucas emerging from the study 

Last night, after they returned, they had slept in separate rooms. Lucas had stayed in the study, and now 

he looked even more tired and irritable. 

Aveline glanced at him briefly before heading downstairs. 

Lucas stared at her intently and said, “Clear your schedule for three days from now. It’s Grandma’s birthday banquet, and you’re coming with me.” 

Aveline paused and asked, “How much?” 

“What?” Lucas didn’t understand her. 

Aveline looked at him with a smile/ “Being Mrs. Tudor is quite stifling. If you want my cooperation, let’s 

put a price on it. I’ll accompany you, but you have to pay.” 

“Heh!” Lucas chuckled as if he’d heard a funny joke and walked toward her. “You’re asking for money 

now?” 

Aveline’s clear eyes met his calmly. “Do you think I’m not worth it? Fine, let’s get a divorce. You can find someone else to accompany you.” 

Lucas‘ expression darkened instantly, “Aveline, are you trying to create trouble?” 

Aveline said, “I’m calmly discussing this. You’re the one in a bad mood. Is that my fault?” 

She had a knack for getting under his skin. 

At moments like this, Lucas really felt like strangling her! 

He stared at her with his piercing eyes, one standing at the top of the stairs and the other on the steps below. Despite his commanding position, Aveline showed no fear. 

There was nothing to be afraid of. He wouldn’t kill her. 

“Aveline, you’re ruthless,” Lucas said coldly, then turned and walked away. Just before entering the

bedroom, he added, “Two hundred thousand dollars.” 

Aveline smiled. “Alright, I’ll take the day off.” 

Making money was easy; all it took was marrying someone she didn’t love. 

She lowered her gaze slightly, her eyes cold, and headed to the dining room for breakfast.
