Chapter 660
Startled, Aveline turned around and saw Lucas standing nearby, holding a freshly made cup of something warm, steam still rising from it.
She frowned slightly. “Were you eavesdropping on my conversation?”
Lucas walked over, sat down in the chair next to her, and looked out the window. His side profile was sharp and handsome, with his bangs falling slightly forward, giving him a more youthful appearance.
For a moment, Aveline felt a flash of nostalgia, as if she was seeing him from when they first met.
“Did Yvonne ask you to poison me?” Lucas asked calmly, still looking outside.
Aveline was shocked. “How did you know?”
A slight, mocking smile played on Lucas‘ lips. “Because she didn’t only ask you. She’s been trying to get others around me to do the same. I believe they call that ‘casting a wide net.“”
Aveline paused, her emotions becoming more complicated.
Lucas glanced at her. “Why are you looking at me like that? Still upset about me overhearing your
conversation?”
He chuckled. “Besides, I didn’t eavesdrop. I just happened to pass by and overhear it.”
Aveline looked away and said, “I told her I couldn’t do it. If you died, I’d end up in prison, and I don’t want
that.”
Lucas laughed softly. “You’re easily scared, aren’t you?”
Aveline stayed silent.
But Lucas continued, “If you’re so easily scared, how did you get the courage to divorce me?”
He gazed at her delicate, male face, her features clean and soft.
“Is it because Russell’s backing you up?” He took out his phone and showed her a picture. “Will you still feel the same way about him after seeing this?”
Aveline frowned. “What are you talking about? Russ and I are just friends!”
Despite her words, her eyes were drawn to his phone.
It was a photograph–a rather intimate one.
It showed Russell and Rina in bed together. The photo was clearly taken by Rina, who lay beside Russell with a shy expression while he slept with his eyes closed.
Aveline quickly looked away.
Lucas observed he
“Does it hurt? Are you upset?”
Aveline pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
Lucas‘ tone grew
colder, but it was clear he was trying hard to control his emotions.
