After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 638

Desmond, seeing Lucas’ calm demeanor, decided not to push further. It was clear that Lucas had anticipated this move and likely had a plan in place. With that, Desmond turned and left the office.

Lucas paused in his work, his handsome, sharp features remaining as cool and indifferent as ever. But his deep, dark eyes now held a hint of something more profound.

…

At the hospital.

Selena tossed the invitation straight into the trash can, her expression filled with disgust. "What bad luck. Why can’t Lucas ever do things properly? He hasn’t even divorced yet, and he’s already looking for his next target. It’s just so off-putting."

Aveline’s expression remained neutral. "It’s not the first time he’s been this low."

Selena sighed as she pulled a chair up to the bedside, her expression troubled. "I just don’t get it—why doesn’t he just agree to the divorce? There’s nothing left between you two, so what’s the point of dragging this out?"

Aveline’s mind drifted for a moment.

She thought of the things Lucas had said.

He said he would change.

He asked her to give him another chance.

He didn’t want to let go of this already shattered relationship.

But Selena was right—what was the point of this endless entanglement?

Aveline spoke softly, "Help me lie down. I want to sleep for a bit."

"Okay."

Selena nodded, helping her settle back into the bed.
