After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 781

"Okay," Aveline murmured softly, her gaze lowered.

Only after Lucas turned and left the room did she slip on the robe and head to the bathroom to freshen up.

When she emerged, she found Lucas setting breakfast on the dining table.

She looked at him, puzzled. "Is this place one of your properties too?"

Lucas nodded. "Just one of them. It's close to the Tudor Group, so I come here occasionally when it's too late to go home."

The apartment was a spacious 300-square-meter flat with a minimalist design. There were no plants or decorations, and the overall atmosphere felt quite cold and empty.

Aveline sat down at the table and took a sip of the corn soup.

Lucas asked, "Do you like it here?"

"It's fine," she replied.

He continued, "I'll have it transferred into your name later. You can stay here whenever you like."

Aveline glanced at him but said nothing.

Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile. "What's wrong? Are you so moved you don't know what to say?"

Aveline rolled her eyes internally. “This man could set up a dye shop with all the colors he’s painting himself in!”

She quietly finished her meal, and soon after, they headed out to the hotel.

When they arrived, the tension in the hotel was palpable, the atmosphere heavy and strained.

As the elevator doors opened, everyone turned to look at them, their expressions filled with displeasure.

“What’s the deal? They were allowed to leave last night, so why are we still being held here?”

“Yeah, why could they go, and we couldn't?”

“What exactly happened? Can someone give us an explanation?”

Everyone left behind had been guests at the previous night's ball, mostly heirs and elites from influential families. After being kept there all night, none of them looked pleased.
