Chapter 140
What was she thinking?
Was she actually wondering if he cared about her and if he had feelings for her?
She must be crazy.
Lucas would do anything for Sophia. He helped her today only because he didn’t want her gone so soon, leaving no one to shield Sophia.
After all, it would be hard to find another fool like her.
Aveline took a deep breath and then pulled her hand away.
By this time, they had reached the gates of the estate.
Lucas turned back to look at her, his expression unreadable.
Aveline said calmly, “Thank you for today.”
Then she turned to leave.
But Lucas grabbed her wrist, his brow furrowing. “That’s it?”
Aveline smiled slightly. “What else?”
Lucas‘ lips pressed into a straight line. He pulled her wrist, bringing
her close to him.
They were so close that their breaths mingled on each other’s faces.
Aveline felt uncomfortable with the proximity. Given their current situation, it felt too intimate.
She stepped back. “Lucas, what do you want from me? I’m grateful to you, but that’s all.”
Lucas’s expression instantly turned cold. “Aveline, why are you
(
being so ungrateful?”
Aveline looked down slightly. “If we had divorced early on, these things wouldn’t be happening to me.”
She raised her eyes to meet his. “Madam Yvonne is dissatisfied with you, so she targets me. Lucas, I’m suffering because of you.”
Lucas‘ face darkened further.
He had rushed over after seeing her message, only to hear this from
“You!”
She needed to stay calm.
They were at the entrance of the Tudor estate, and every move they made might be watched. If they made a scene now, the people
targeting him might come after her again, and next time it could be
even worse.
Aveline pressed her lips together, remaining silent until she was seated in the passenger seat. Her face turned completely cold.
Lucas placed one hand on the steering wheel and used the other to grip her chin, forcing her to look at him.
“Aveline, did you hear what I said? Say something nice to make me happy or do something that pleases me.”
Aveline looked at him without much expression. “If I do, will you divorce me immediately?”
Lucas’s eyes darkened. “Maybe.”
Aveline’s long lashes fluttered. He might be toying with her, but she was genuinely afraid of facing such dangerous days ahead. She leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips.
