After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 805

Aveline let out a soft sigh, her breath forming a white mist that quickly disappeared into the cold air.

Was she getting entangled with him again?

She had wanted to keep her distance, but somehow, the ties between them kept growing, getting more and more complicated… It frustrated her to no end.

All she hoped for now was that after the divorce, there would be no more drama.

She just wanted a quiet, simple life.

Aveline got into the car, and Lucas immediately followed, sliding into the passenger seat. She didn't say a word, simply started the engine, and drove towards Maple Gardens.

By the time they got back, it was already nine o'clock at night.

Aveline had been running around all day and felt exhausted.

She yawned, glancing at him with tired eyes. "Can we do this another day? I'm really tired tonight."

Lucas' voice was low as he replied, "You don't have to do anything. I'll handle it myself."

Aveline was silent, her expression unreadable, as she opened the door.

Lucas’ tall frame moved closer, but she pushed him away. "Go take a shower."

He grabbed her chin and gave her a firm kiss on the lips. “Fine, wait here.”

With that, he turned and headed toward the guest bathroom.

Aveline returned to the master bedroom, took a shower herself, and by the time she came out, he still hadn’t returned. She slipped under the covers and lay down on the bed.

When Lucas finally walked in, he found her already asleep.

The soft glow of the wall lamp cast a dim light across the room. She lay on her side, her face nestled against the pillow, breathing peacefully in a deep and undisturbed sleep.

He raised an eyebrow, moving closer with the intention of waking her, but his hand stopped midway.

Forget it.

She was so tired. He’d let her be this time.

He lifted the blanket and climbed into bed, stretching out his arm to pull her into his embrace.

Aveline shifted slightly, finding a more comfortable position, and drifted back into a deep sleep.

Lucas held her close, staring up at the ceiling, unable to put his feelings into words. Suddenly, he found himself reflecting on his past. What had he been doing all this time?

Wouldn't it have been better just to live a good life with her, holding her in his arms every night?
