After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 589

"Don't move."

Lucas held her tightly. "Aveline, right now, I just want to hold you."

Aveline rolled her eyes dramatically, but after hiking all the way up, she didn’t have much energy left to struggle. Her face rested against his chest as she gazed at the scenery beyond the mountain, her breathing gradually calming.

She unintentionally became aware of his heartbeat, which was growing faster and louder, as if it might burst from his chest.

Aveline’s lashes fluttered slightly. "Lucas, are you having a heart attack?"

Lucas tightened his arms around her briefly, then suddenly released her. "Aveline, I want to kiss you."

She instantly pushed him away. "Don’t even think about it."

Lucas’ narrow eyes locked onto her lips, a clear intent in his gaze.

Aveline quickly covered her mouth, looking at him with a wary expression.

A faint smile curved Lucas' lips. "Do you really think covering your mouth will stop me? If I want to, you won’t be able to escape."

Aveline rolled her eyes again and turned back to the scenery.

After that outburst, the dark clouds that had been hanging over her seemed to have lifted.

She took out her phone, capturing photos and videos to remember the moment.

When she turned around to ask when they would head back, she noticed Lucas holding his phone up, pointing it at her—who knows for how long.

Aveline frowned and asked, "Were you taking pictures of me?"

Lucas replied, "I was capturing the scenery."

She walked over to him. "But your phone was pointed right at me."

Lucas put his phone away and casually said, "Well, you were standing in the scenery."

Aveline paused, her breath catching. "Delete the photos."
