After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442 

Lucas turned to look at her and noticed her cold expression. Her eyes were now filled with frost. 

If he told her to leave now, she would undoubtedly walk away without hesitation. 

Lucas‘ face darkened as he said quietly, “You don’t need to care about what others think.” 

Aveline looked at him and smiled, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Lucas, all of this that I’m enduring – it’s because of you. You owe me compensation.” 

Lucas was taken aback. “Have you become obsessed with money?” 

Aveline shrugged. “If I can’t have love, can’t I at least have money?” 

Hearing this, Lucas‘ expression grew even more unpleasant, his entire demeanor chilling several degrees. 

Aveline looked away and asked, “Where’s Grandma?” 

Lucas also averted his gaze, his aura softening as he tried to calm himself. 

No longer wanting love? Was that something one could simply decide? 

Lucas led her upstairs. 

They arrived at an open door on the second floor. Inside, several people surrounded Barbara. Aaron was by her side, telling jokes to keep her entertained. 

“Grandma,” Lucas said as he entered. 

A smile appeared on Aveline’s face. “Grandma.” 

Barbara’s cloudy eyes immediately brightened upon seeing Aveline. She beckoned her over. “My dear granddaughter–in–law, you’re finally here! I’ve been missing you terribly!” 

Aveline approached and took Barbara’s hand, her smile sweet. “I’ve missed you too, Grandma.” 

Barbara looked at her with sudden concern. “Darling, have you lost weight? Is my grandson not feeding you properly? How awful of him! If he’s mistreating you, you don’t have to stay with him!” 

Aveline laughed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you, Grandma. You can decide for me when the time comes.” 

Barbara nodded. “Good, I’ll make the decisions for you.” 

Lucas said resignedly. “Grandma, if she leaves me, you won’t have a granddaughter–in–law anymore.” 

Barbara was momentarily stunned by Lucas‘ words. Then she gripped Aveline’s hand tightly. “That won’t do. I must have a granddaughter–in–law. No divorce. You two need to live well together!” 

Aveline was speechless. 

Barbara turned to Lucas. “You better treat her well, or skin you alive!” 

“Yes, Grandma,” Lucas replied. 

Watching this scene unfold, Aaron took out his phone and snapped a photo, He then showed it to Barbara like possession. “Madam Barbara, what do you think of this photo? Would you like it as your phone wallpaper?”

Barbara looked down at it. “Yes, this is lovely. My grandson and granddaughter–in–law are both in it. Let’s make it my wallpaper!” 

Aaron grinned as he set it up for her.
