After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 795

The two of them stood close, and his faint, fresh scent mingled with a hint of tobacco, wrapping around her senses.

His eyes were locked on hers with a deep, intense gaze, like an ancient well drawing her in, refusing to let go.

Aveline's lashes trembled slightly.

She immediately took a step back and turned away, saying, "I won’t regret it."

With that, she headed straight to the study.

Lucas watched her retreating figure, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over him at her determined tone.

Was she really that heartless? Could she not see the changes he had made?

He followed her, speaking as he walked, "Now that Gernard came to ask you to get divorced, if he finds out you're actually his sister, he'll definitely regret it."

Aveline's tone remained calm. "I don’t care."

She had no great expectations for parental affection; her reason for seeking recognition was simply to stop the person who had been harming her from continuing to enjoy a life of wealth. Whoever had taken what belonged to her would have to give it back.

As for whether Gernard would regret it or not, that was his concern, not hers.

Lucas stared at her for a long moment without speaking.

Aveline reached the door of the study and glanced back at him, "Aren’t you leaving?"

Lucas replied, "We only have half a month left until the divorce. I just want to spend some time with you."

Then he walked closer. "You can keep working; I won’t disturb you."

With that, he sat down on the sofa.

Her expression became indifferent. She turned and walked to the computer, powered it on, and began typing, completely absorbed in her work.

When she worked, she was so focused that she hardly cared whether anyone else was around.

Lucas sat there, openly watching her, the smile on his lips growing deeper, his affection almost impossible to contain.

His gaze was so intense that, even with Aveline's practiced composure, she still felt the impact.
