After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 6

That girl was the same one in the private room that day, asking Lucas when he would divorce. 

She was intimately holding his arm.

Lucas had always been a clean freak.

When she first brought him home, even though he had lost his memory, some of his body’s instinctive habits remained. Once he became familiar with the environment, he started cleaning her house, making every corner spotless.

He never accepted gifts from others, nor did he eat from street vendors. The occasional aura he exuded was something ordinary people lacked.

But now, he allowed that girl to hold his arm so intimately.

Was he trying to tell her that even if they didn’t divorce, he would continue seeing that girl?

Aveline tightly clenched the hem of her clothes, her heart aching painfully, her eyes stinging with tears.

How could Lucas be so cruel?

How could he give the necklace she had chosen to another woman?

She took out her phone and called him. However, he hung up as soon as it started ringing. Undeterred, she kept calling until he finally answered.

“What do you want?”

His tone was incredibly cold.

Aveline tightly gripped her phone. The call connected, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask the questions burning inside her.

He had already done it all—what was the point of asking?

“I don’t feel well…”

Compulsively, she spoke in a muffled voice and hung up immediately after.

She held her phone, watching the time.

In the past, if he heard she wasn’t feeling well, he would have come back immediately. Unable to speak, he would ask her with frantic, messy sign language, his eyes full of concern for her.

Minute by minute, time passed.

One hour, two hours, and still, there wasn’t a sound at the door.
