After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 661

That was Russell’s business; she had no intention of being with him anyway.

But as Aveline noticed, Lucas' gaze grew increasingly colder.

"Fine!"

He sneered, leaving those words behind as he stood up and walked away.

Aveline frowned, feeling completely baffled. "What on earth?"

She continued staring outside, where the sky had become overcast, and raindrops had already begun to fall.

"Miss Young, it's starting to rain. You should come inside," the housekeeper called.

"Alright, I know," Aveline responded. She stood up to head indoors and then noticed Lucas' phone on the table. He must have forgotten to take it with him.

She picked it up and started walking toward his room. Curiosity got the best of her, and she glanced down at the phone, still displaying the photo of Russell and Rina in bed. But she felt nothing as she looked at it.

Lucas returned to his room, realizing he had left his phone behind. His expression was cold as he walked back to retrieve it, only to find Aveline holding it, still looking at the photo.

So, she did care, after all.

She might claim not to mind, but her actions said otherwise. Had she developed feelings for Russell? Why else would she be staring at that photo?

This realization filled Lucas with irritation and frustration, and he felt a strong urge to do something to release his pent-up emotions. But he held back.

In the past, he hadn’t been able to control himself, which led to the current situation.

"Done looking?" he asked coldly, standing in place.

Hearing his voice, Aveline quickly looked up, caught off guard, feeling like she’d been caught snooping.

"Here, take it. I wasn’t looking on purpose," she said, handing the phone back to him and offering a brief explanation.

Lucas’ eyes bore into her as he suddenly stepped closer, wrapping an arm around her waist.
