After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 797

Barbara slowly lowered her raised hand, her clouded eyes filled with doubt as she looked at Aveline.

“Are you telling the truth?”

Seeing that Barbara had calmed down, Aveline helped her lean back against the headboard and replied, “Yes, we're getting divorced soon.”

Barbara pressed further, “When are you getting divorced?”

Aveline answered, “In seven days.”

Barbara counted on her fingers and then looked at her, “You better not be lying to me. If you dare lie, I’ll still hit you!”

Aveline looked helpless.

If she wanted to hit, she could let her, right?

Pulling a chair over, Aveline sat down and looked at Barbara's wrinkled face. “Grandma, do you really not remember me at all?”

Barbara's face remained stern. “Why should I remember you? Are you that important?”

A flicker of sadness crossed Aveline’s eyes.

Indeed.

She wasn’t important.

So, it didn’t matter if she was remembered or not.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Aveline kept her gaze down, not looking at Barbara's expression.

Suddenly, she felt a weight on her head.

“Don’t be sad. Here, take this.”

Barbara’s slightly awkward voice broke the silence. “You better take good care of it. If it breaks, I’ll be upset.”

Her tone was like that of a child.

Aveline was startled. She reached up to take the wreath off her head. “Who gave this to you?”

Barbara replied, “I don’t know!”
