After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 787

Aveline could hear the teasing in his tone and tried to stay calm, her voice turning even colder. "If you don’t want to come, then forget it."

“I’m coming, absolutely," Lucas replied immediately, his tone overly enthusiastic. "Even if I were on a plane right now, I’d tell the pilot to turn around so I could have dinner with you."

Aveline felt a shiver run down her spine, rolling her eyes. "Cut the crap. Keep talking like that, and you’re bound to get struck by lightning."

With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

Lucas chuckled softly at the dial tone, glancing over at the cabin door that was just about to close.

“Cancel the flight,” he ordered.

The flight attendant blinked, confused.

Desmond, sitting in the front row, immediately turned around. “Mr. Tudor, this trip to the States is to discuss a strategic partnership. If we back out now, the other side will definitely be upset. It might be tough to negotiate a deal later.”

Lucas replied coolly, “Then find another company.”

He stood up and left the business class cabin without another word.

Desmond was speechless.

Oh, God! Mr. Tudor was getting more unpredictable by the day!

But Desmond had a pretty good guess. The only person who could make Lucas drop everything was probably Aveline.

For someone who always claimed he didn’t care, didn’t like her… Well, looks like he’d been proven wrong!

…

Nightfall arrived.

Aveline sat at the dining table, staring at the food that was growing cold, her perfectly shaped brows furrowing in frustration.

She glanced at the clock. An hour had passed.

What was this? Was he not coming at all?

And without even the courtesy of a call.

Her expression grew even colder as she reached for her phone, ready to invite Selena over for dinner instead.

Just then, the doorbell rang.
