After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562

Barbara’s words hung in the air, turning the room ice–cold.

Aveline, merely an outsider in this situation, found the scene before her utterly absurd. This family constantly invoked the memory of a dead man to dictate Lucas‘ actions. Whenever he did something that displeased them, they would use this deceased person to lecture him.

How laughable…

Perhaps they knew deep down that they had no other way to persuade Lucas, so they resorted to such tactics.

Aveline watched coldly from the sidelines.

Lucas remained composed, his deep, magnetic voice carrying a chill as he spoke, ” Grandma, why don’t you understand yet? It’s not just that he’s dead; even if he were alive and standing right in front of me, he wouldn’t have the right to interfere in my affairs.”

“You…”

Barbara began coughing violently at his words, her already wrinkled, aged face appearing even more frail.

Frederick’s expression grew darker. “Lucas, how can you speak to your grandmother like that? Can’t you see how weak she is?”

Lucas looked at him and replied, “If you’re worried that my words will upset her, then you shouldn’t have called me here in the first place.”

“You!”

Frederick was once again left speechless with anger.

Yvonne interjected gently, “Alright, now is not the time for arguing. Mom, you shouldn’t worry

about Lucas‘ affairs anymore. He has his own opinion. What you need to focus on now is recovering your health. Once you’re better, you’ll be able to hold your great–grandchild in the future.”

Barbara could only look at Lucas, her eyes moist, wanting to say something but unable to stop coughing.

Sophia gently patted her chest, trying to soothe her.

Lucas scoffed coldly, “Why are you looking at them? Am I not part of this family, unable to give you orders?”
