After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 703

Aveline's brows furrowed deeper. Despite everything she had said, Annie still insisted on leaving. Was she really that afraid of her own home?

"Then I'll go back with you," Aveline suggested after a moment's thought.

She needed to explain the situation to Annie's parents.

Given Annie's current condition, she was in no state to do anything; her injured arm simply wouldn't allow it.

"No, you can't!" Annie shook her head immediately, her face showing even more fear. "Aveline, I was the one who ran into you. My broken arm has nothing to do with you. My family mustn't find out about this. If they do, they... they..."

She hesitated, struggling to get the words out, but finally continued, "They'll definitely try to extort money from you."

Saying this, she closed her eyes in despair. Trapped in a hopeless situation, she didn't want to drag an innocent person into her troubles.

Aveline's frown deepened. Could her parents really be this kind of people?

Having grown up without parents, she couldn't understand this dynamic.

But right now, she couldn't just let Annie leave.

After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "How about this? Call your family and tell them you've found a job as a tutor. Say that your employer requires you to stay in their house to make it easier to help with the student's homework. If they ask, I'll tell them I'm your employer."

Annie's eyes reddened, and tears fell in the next second. "Aveline, why are you being so kind to me?”

The girl's cry was pitiful, like a little kitten, hesitant even to sob out loud.

Aveline felt a pang of compassion and replied, "I told you, your arm was hurt because of me. I need to see you fully recover."

Annie bit her lip and stayed silent for a moment, but it seemed she had agreed.

After a while, Annie spoke, "Aveline, will this trouble you too much?"
