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

Lucas looked at Lance with growing impatience. "What's the solution? Hurry up and tell me!"

Lance remained silent for a moment before finally replying, "Take it step by step. Keep your distance for now and let her gradually get used to you." Lucas frowned. "Isn't there a faster way?"

Lance responded with a mocking tone, "How did you manage before you had a wife? Now that you have one, you can't even wait a single day?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"That's right, I can't wait a day," Lucas replied without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

Lance was defeated by Lucas' shamelessness. He straightened his face and said, "No, there isn't a faster way."

After putting his glasses back on, he added, "Now get out of here and stop holding up my patients."

Lucas knew Lance wouldn't lie to him, so despite his displeased expression, he got up and left.

Aveline's expression grew colder as she followed him silently. Once they were outside the hospital, she immediately turned and walked in the opposite direction. Lucas didn't stop her. He watched her slender figure for a moment before pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

This was turning out to be a tricky situation.

When Aveline arrived at the office, she saw Maria in the middle of a meeting. Instead of interrupting, she stood outside the door and listened for a while. The meeting ended shortly afterward.

Maria approached her and asked, "What happened? Why are you so late?"

Aveline replied, "Lucas' grandmother wasn't feeling well, so I went to the hospital to check on her. Fortunately, it's nothing serious."

María nodded in understanding. "It's good that she's okay, but... didn't you and Lucas get divorced?"

Why would she still visit Barbara at the hospital?

"Are they planning to remarry? Does that mean my task is almost complete?" Maria thought.

Aveline responded, "Madam Barbara treated me well in the past. With her being so ill, I couldn't find a reason not to visit her."

Maria smiled warmly and said, "Actually, that's not a bad idea. The more you interact with Lucas, the better. If you two get remarried, rny studio would be set for life!" Aveline gave a slight smile and said, "I'm going to get back to work."

"Alright, go ahead," Maria replied cheerfully.

Just as Aveline sat down, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Selena calling, her heart tightened, and she quickly answered.

"Hello, Selena, what's wrong?"

Selena's voice came through, "Nothing serious, don't worry. I just wanted to let you know that Aaron's people are following me. Looks like I won't be able to leave Cloudflare City." Aveline's expression darkened.

As expected, Aaron's methods were just like Lucas'.

Selena continued, “I've been thinking, since I can't escape, I might as well enjoy it. After all, he's a rich heir. Maybe he'll get bored after a while, and when we part ways, I could walk away with a nice sum of money.”

Aveline was speechless.

Selena chuckled. “Ave, what do you think? Does that sound like a plan?"

Aveline, however, expressed her concern. "I'm just worried he won't let you go that easily."

"Even better," Selena replied, sounding optimistic. "If he can't live without me, then he'll marry me, and I'll become Mrs. Fletcher, living the high life!"

Selena's carefree attitude left Aveline silent once again.

She and Selena always had different perspectives on things.

She just couldn't be as carefree as Selena.

Perhaps, Selena's way of thinking was right.
