After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 741

Aveline froze.

This was the main street, bustling with people...

If she kept struggling, Lucas just might do exactly what he’d threatened!

Her expression instantly turned cold, but she stopped resisting.

Lucas’ lips curled in satisfaction as he held her hand and continued down the street.

After a while, Aveline asked coldly, "How long do you plan to keep this up?"

Lucas glanced at her. "A lifetime."

Aveline shot back, "In your dreams."

But his eyes were serious. "I’m not dreaming. I’m telling you the truth. I intend to hold your hand like this and walk with you for the rest of my life."

Aveline decided to stop looking at him altogether.

The aroma from a street vendor filled the air, making Aveline's stomach growl. She headed straight over.

Lucas, still holding her hand, found himself standing in front of a food truck selling blue cheese. Her eyes lit up with interest as she eagerly ordered a portion, and the sharp, tangy aroma instantly hit him.

His expression darkened.

Aveline took the blue cheese, glanced at him, and said, "Let go, I’m about to eat."

Lucas eyed the cheese in her hand, clearly perplexed, but he released her. "How can you eat that stuff? Doesn’t it disgust you?"

"Not at all," Aveline replied, shaking her head. "I think it’s delicious. Plus, once I’m done, the smell will be all over me. If you’re so repulsed, feel free to keep your distance."

Lucas’ face grew even darker, but he stayed silent, continuing to follow her.

After finishing the cheese, Aveline moved on to a plate of pickled herring—its smell even more overpowering.

Still unsatisfied, she headed into a shop selling garlic and anchovy pasta.

Lucas stopped outside, refusing to enter, his expression so dark it looked like it might storm.

Memories flashed through his mind of times past. She had always loved these foods, and he would stay by her side, even if he couldn’t stand the smell.
