Under Aveline’s expectant gaze, Lucas picked up the divorce agreement and tore it to shreds.
Aveline’s disappointment was evident, and she added with a hint of regret, “You know, it costs a lot to make copies of these.”
She gave him a disapproving look. “If you didn’t want to sign, you could’ve just handed it back to me.”
Lucas was speechless.
He stared at her blankly, only to watch as she pulled another divorce agreement out of her bag.
"Want to sign this one?"
Her clear eyes met his, waiting for his response.
Lucas' mouth twitched as he asked, "How many copies of this do you have?"
Aveline replied, "Not too many, just about a hundred."
Lucas was at a loss for words.
Great. The whole situation felt eerily familiar as if it had happened before.
Aveline sighed softly. "You know, it would be so much easier if you just signed. Then we wouldn’t have to keep dragging this out."
Ignoring her, Lucas simply asked, "Where’s the food?"
Aveline handed him the lunchbox.
Lucas began eating without a word.
Aveline tidied up the torn pieces of paper and threw them into the trash, then sat nearby, continuing to talk about the benefits of divorce.
She had made it a habit to bring up the topic every time she visited.
At first, Lucas found her chatter annoying, frowning but never telling her to leave. It was as if, as long as she stayed, she could say whatever she wanted.
Over time, he grew accustomed to her ramblings, feeling more and more at ease with each passing day.
Aveline suddenly spoke up as she watched his handsome profile, "Lucas, if I fell in love with someone else, would you agree to the divorce?"
Lucas paused in his eating, then asked, "Who have you fallen for?"
"If it's not Russell, then it must be Sidney. Have you really fallen for Sidney?" Lucas thought as his grip on his utensil tightened, his expression growing colder.
