After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 558

“You’re insane!”

A trace of fear appeared in Aveline’s eyes, completely unprepared for how far Lucas would go in his madness.

Lucas noticed the shift in her emotions, and a fleeting complexity crossed his deep gaze. He leaned in closer, kissing her lips with a tender intimacy, as if they were lovers lost in the moment.

But the more gentle he was, the more Aveline’s fear grew, trembling from deep within her soul.

Suddenly, she pushed him away.

Lucas didn’t get angry; instead, he stared at her lips, as if still savoring the moment.

Aveline steadied herself and asked, “Why did you help Sophia?”

“Hmm?”

Lucas paused at her question, and after a brief thought, he realized she must have misunderstood something related to what Brian had done.

So, she was acting this way because she thought he helped Sophia?

“I didn’t help her,” Lucas replied calmly.

Aveline looked at him with disdain, unable to believe he was playing dumb at this point.

“Lucas, you can’t even admit to what you’ve done. I really have no respect for you.”

Her sarcasm didn’t faze Lucas in the slightest. He remained composed, his emotions unshaken by her

taunts.

He walked over and sat beside her, his voice steady. “What about her is worth helping?”

Aveline was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a pause, she said, “She saved your life.”

Lucas let out a cold laugh, as if he’d heard something ridiculous. “The only person who ever truly saved

me is you.”

Aveline’s eyelashes flickered in surprise. What exactly did he mean by that?

Lucas continued, “Can you imagine someone going so far as to harm themselves just to achieve their goals?”

“You’re right,” Lucas nodded. “When you think about it, she and I might be the same at our core.”
