After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 817

Aveline thought this over and spoke directly, "If it's about the situation between him and me, you don't need to say more. I can handle my own affairs."

Gernard fell silent.

He had indeed come for that reason.

With the uproar surrounding Lucas' altercation, he had intended to persuade Aveline once more. But hearing her distant tone, he felt a faint, inexplicable discomfort. A sense of unease that he couldn't quite understand.

Seeing his silence, Aveline continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'm at work."

Gernard replied, "Alright, as long as you know what you're doing. I was just thinking, you were so eager to divorce before but couldn't find a way, and now there's an opportunity right in front of you. I just wanted to help. But it's your decision. I won't disturb you any further. Goodbye."

He hung up the phone.

A faint trace of mockery flashed in Aveline's eyes.

To help Juliet, Gernard really could say anything. Anyone who didn't know better might have thought he was genuinely concerned for her.

Aveline put her phone down, refocusing her attention on her computer. She tried to immerse herself in her work, and by the time she finished, it was already the end of the day.

After packing her things, she left the building and immediately saw a handsome man leaning against his car.

He wore a black coat over a royal blue suit, his tie impeccably neat. His tall, elegant figure radiated a distinctive aura.

Aveline quickened her pace, a bit puzzled as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Lucas replied, "To pick you up from work."

Suppressing the emotions brewing in her heart, Aveline asked, "Weren't you being bullied? You seem to be doing just fine."

Lucas raised an eyebrow slightly. "So, if I were being bullied, would I need to shed some tears for you to believe it?"

Aveline responded, "Not necessarily."

As Lucas spoke, he opened the passenger door. "If you think I need to cry to prove I've been bullied, I wouldn't mind shedding a few tears for you."
