After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553

“Is that so? Was I mistaken?” Aveline thought before replying, “Alright, I understand. Get some rest; I won’t be going out today.”

“Okay, Miss Young.”

After a quick wash, Aveline lay down on her bed. Her mind was still a mess, but her body was exhausted, and she quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already afternoon.

She picked up her phone and saw numerous messages from Selena, all detailing her escape plan.

Aveline replied briefly, then got up to wash her face before heading to the kitchen to cook.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Aveline paused, her expression turning cold. Who would come at this hour?

She walked to the door and looked through the peephole. Upon seeing who it was, her face became even more indifferent.

She ignored it and continued cooking.

After waiting for a while, Lucas realized Aveline wasn’t going to answer the door.

Undeterred, he kept knocking, showing remarkable patience.

It was only after about half an hour that the door finally opened.

Aveline stood there, her expression cold, holding a kitchen knife in her hand. “What do you want?”

Lucas glanced at the knife in her hand before looking back at her face, clearly unimpressed by supposed threat.

“Can’t I visit without a reason?”

“No.”

Aveline’s response was blunt.

With that, she moved to close the door.

But Lucas suddenly blocked it with his hand and stepped forward, trying to enter.

Seeing this, Aveline immediately raised the kitchen knife toward him. “Stay out!”

Lucas gently took hold of her hand, removing the knife and placing it on the nearby counter. His deep voice was steady as he said, “Aveline, I just came to tell you to stay away from Russell. He’s not as simple as he appears to be.”
