After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 590

Aveline immediately hung up the call.

Lucas glanced at her and asked, "Why didn’t you answer?"

Aveline responded curtly, "That’s none of your business."

Lucas chuckled, clearly amused, as if he hadn’t expected this rebellious side of her.

Aveline kept her gaze out the window, but inside, she was tense.

Then Lucas spoke again, "Afraid to answer? Worried I might find out? Who was it, Russell?"

Aveline frowned and turned to him. "Lucas, do you ever stop?"

His eyes locked onto hers. "Then why didn’t you take the call?"

Aveline closed her eyes briefly, exhaling a heavy sigh before calmly replying, "Lucas, I don’t feel like I need to report every little thing I do to you. You mean nothing to me."

Lucas crossed his arms and leaned back, his handsome, sharp features becoming even colder and more distant. His eyes regarded her with a cool indifference.

"And so what? Do you think I care about what place I hold in your heart or if I have any status at all?"

Aveline was momentarily stunned. "If you don’t care, then why are you still clinging to me?"

Lucas let out a low laugh. "I’ve told you before, the reason I keep you around is simple. You’re a woman, I’m a man, and I need you to satisfy my needs—nothing more."

Anger flashed across Aveline’s face, and she raised her hand to slap him.

But Lucas didn’t flinch, his gaze remaining cold and steady on her.

Aveline’s hand paused mid-air, her fingers curling into a fist as her expression grew colder. She didn’t bother responding to him after that.

The cable car soon reached the base of the mountain. Aveline stepped out and immediately walked toward the roadside.

Lucas followed leisurely behind her, watching her slender figure with growing frustration.
