Chapter 48
He gave her what she wanted; she should be happy. But just now, her expression didn’t seem pleased. Why?
Lucas grew more irritated the more he thought about it. Just then, his phone rang. It was Desmond. “Mr. Tudor, Mr. Hang has arrived.”
“Okay, I’ll be back right away.” Lucas replied coldly, then hung up. He cast a long look in the direction of Aveline’s house before turning the car around and leaving.
In the evening, when Selena arrived, Aveline had already prepared four dishes, with two more and a soup still cooking.

“Ave, there’s so much food!” Selena exclaimed excitedly, hugging her and rubbing against her.
Aveline said, “It’s alright. Go wait outside; it’ll be ready soon.”
Selena replied, “Okay, I brought some alcohol.”

“Okay, let’s eat!”
Selena nodded, opening the bottle of alcohol. “You can’t drink, so just watch me. Cheers!”
“Hello?”
She answered, her tone indifferent.
“Desmond.”
The man’s hoarse voice came through the phone, cold to the

Aveline was taken aback. Did he dial the wrong number?
“This is Aveline.”
There was a brief silence before she spoke.
