After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 742

Seeing this, Aveline didn’t bother trying to make him leave. She started the car and headed straight back to the orphanage.

By the time they returned, the sky had turned completely dark.

Zachary and a group of children came out to greet her, smiles lighting up their faces when they saw her.

“Come on, help me unload,” Aveline said, walking over to open the trunk.

Zachary was surprised. “You went shopping?”
