After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 691

"Leo, every extra day you stay in Cloudflare City increases the risk of exposure," the voice on the phone warned.

Leo replied calmly, "Relax, I know what I'm doing. Besides, the game has only just begun. I need to enjoy it thoroughly before I leave."

With that, he ended the call. The night grew darker, and his figure melted into the shadows of the alley, soon disappearing completely.

…

Back at Maple Garden, the two of them had taken a shower and were now curled up in the media room watching a movie.

Selena sipped on her juice and asked, “Ave, aren’t you even a bit curious about who this Leo guy is? It seems like he’s always popping up wherever you are.”

Aveline, keeping her eyes on the screen, replied, “I’ve noticed. That’s why I said there’s no need to get to know him.”

After all that she had been through, how could she not have developed a sense of caution?

Leo’s identity was too much of a mystery. First, he claimed amnesia, and now he said he had recovered some of his memories. But these were just his words—how much of it was true?

She wasn’t in the mood to guess. The construction at the villa was nearing completion, and all that was left was for Lucas to inspect it.

Once the inspection was done, this project would be finished, and then she could hand in her resignation and leave Cloudflare City.

Yes, before leaving, she would finalize the divorce.

She had her own plan, and she would not allow any unforeseen events to interfere.

Selena glanced at her. “Ave, you’ve really toughened up because of that scumbag Lucas.”

Aveline looked at her, puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Selena grinned. “You’ve built up an immunity to Leo’s looks. After all, with Lucas as the diamond before, Leo’s just a common stone.”

Aveline’s mouth twitched slightly. “Why is your attention focused on that?”

Selena chuckled. “What else should I focus on? Everything is on hold right now, so even if I wanted to focus on something else, there’s nothing to focus on.”

“That made sense,” Aveline thought.
