After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 585

Lucas watched her, a touch of helplessness flickering across his handsome face. Instead of heading to the guest room, he sat down on the living room sofa, lighting a cigarette. The sharp click of the lighter echoed loudly in the quiet room.

Just then, his phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was his bodyguard calling. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Winter has been taken back by her family."

"Alright," Lucas replied indifferently, not giving the matter much thought.

His mind was entirely occupied with figuring out how to get Aveline to forgive him and take him back.

...

The next day.

News of Sophia being kicked out of the Winter family indeed made the headlines.

Aveline lay in bed, reading the news with a blank expression. After a moment, she got up, washed up, and opened her bedroom door. She immediately saw Lucas, wearing an apron, walking out of the kitchen and placing a plate on the dining table.

"You're up? Perfect timing, breakfast is ready."

Aveline walked over, glancing at the simple breakfast he had prepared— omelettes and a few side dishes. Without hesitation, she sat down and started eating.

Seeing this, Lucas raised an eyebrow and asked, "How does it taste?"

Aveline replied, "It's average."

Unfazed, Lucas said, "If you’re willing to eat something average, it must have tasted good."

Aveline was speechless.

He sure knew how to comfort himself.

After eating half the breakfast, Aveline put down her utensils and got up to leave for work.

But Lucas remarked, "Didn’t your boss tell you to take a day off?"

Aveline responded, "I don’t need it."

Lucas looked at her calm face—there was no trace of the emotional breakdown she had the night before. Her emotions were buried too deeply.

He blocked her path, insisting, "You need to rest. I've already spoken with your boss. Today, your time belongs to me."
