"Are you full already?" Lucas looked at her seriously and asked, "You've eaten very little."
Aveline glanced coldly at him. "Since when do you have to control how much I eat?"
Lucas raised an eyebrow and didn’t continue speaking. Instead, he took her plate and started eating her leftovers.
Aveline was slightly stunned by his action.
Everyone else saw this scene and didn’t know what to say.
It seemed fine?
They were married after all.
Even though they were in the midst of divorce proceedings, they had once loved each other.
Selena rolled her eyes dramatically, "Disgusting."
"I want to go back to my room," Aveline said.
Selena got up. "I’ll help you."
Aveline nodded and then stood up with Selena’s help.
At that moment, Lucas put down his utensils, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stood up, immediately lifting her into his arms.
"What are you doing?" Aveline exclaimed, grabbing his collar as if she feared he would throw her down.
Lucas said, "You're walking too slowly. Let me carry you back so you can rest."
Aveline frowned. "But the doctor said I should walk as much as I can."
Lucas responded, "Then you can practice walking after I leave. I can't help it, I hate seeing you in discomfort."
Aveline was speechless.
The air hung with an eerie silence.
Selena stared at Lucas’ retreating back as if trying to bore holes through him!
What an openly shameless man!
Gernard said, "I have some things to take care of, I’ll leave first."
Aveline replied, "I can't understand his intentions. Is it because of love, or because he can’t let go?"
Selena frowned. "Why bother with that? Once you win the lawsuit, he’ll be out of your life."
Aveline sighed softly.
"What if it’s because of love?"
At that moment, Russell came over, gazing at her, and asked.
Selena scoffed at the side. "How could that be possible? How can you hurt someone you love? That bastard Lucas has caused nothing but trouble for our Ave!"
Russell said nothing, just kept his gaze on Aveline.
Aveline’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and with a bitter smile, she said, "I've never seen such love, this is not what I want."
Yes, she did not want this strange, twisted kind of love.
That feeling of having no control over anything, everything dependent on his whims, it was suffocating for her.
Russell moved to her side and sat down. "Then stay firm and don’t waver. Aveline, there's better love waiting for you."
