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

"That would be too much trouble," Aveline replied calmly, her nonchalant attitude clearly frustrating Aaron, who turned to Lucas, only to see him staring intently at Aveline. "Lucas, you..." Aaron began.

"Is it still the same account number?" Lucas interrupted, getting straight to the point.

Aaron was left speechless.

Really, buddy?

Was that how he wanted to spend his money?

Aaron couldn't help but feel exasperated.

Aveline nodded. "Yes, the same one."

Lucas continued, "I'll have Desmond transfer the money. You'll be in charge of my meals for the next month."

Aveline raised an eyebrow, sensing this agreement might have been made a bit too hastily. Maybe she should have asked for ten million instead. Oh well... Aaron glanced back and forth between the two of them, finally deciding to keep his thoughts to himself.

"Alright, if they're both okay with it, who am I to interfere?" he thought.

Lucas finished all the food Aveline had brought, with no sign of discomfort whatsoever.

Aaron stood with his arms crossed, watching in disbelief. He found it puzzling-Lucas couldn't stomach anyone else's cooking, yet Aveline's was perfectly fine. How interesting.

As Aveline packed up the lunchbox and turned to leave, Lucas kept his eyes on her until she disappeared from sight, reluctantly pulling his gaze away.

Aaron sighed. "Lucas, you've completely fallen for her, haven't you?"

Lucas responded calmly, "There's nothing wrong with that."

"But weren't you the one who said you didn't care about love and romance?" Aaron countered.

Lucas closed his eyes. "Who said that? I don't recall."

Aaron was speechless.

Aaron couldn't believe it and thought, "Now you're playing dumb? Looks like you've been proven wrong all along!"

Over the next few weeks, Aveline came by every day to bring Lucas his meals, carefully following the doctor's instructions to ensure they were nutritious. Lucas consistently finished everything she brought. About two weeks later, when Aveline arrived around noon, she found Lucas reviewing documents with Desmond standing beside him,

looking serious.

She was surprised-hadn't Lucas been removed from his position as CEO? What was he still working on?

Desmond noticed her and hesitated before greeting her, "Mrs.-"

"Just call me Aveline," she replied coolly.

Desmond nodded, "Alright, Madam."

Aveline sighed but didn't push it further.

She set the lunchbox down and, outThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

of curiosity, glanced at the

documents. She caught sight of the company's name, "Tudor," just as Lucas handed the papers over to Desmond.

"Just do as I instructed; no need to worry about the rest," Lucas directed.

"Understood," Desmond replied with a nod before leaving the room.

Aveline turned to Lucas. "You're still working?"

Lucas's gaze shifted to her. "If I don't work, how will I renew our arrangement?"

Aveline blinked, momentarily puzzled by his response.

Lucas replied, "I'd like to renew for a second month. Still four million?"

Aveline understood now and calmly responded, "I'm not accepting a renewal."

"Six million?" Lucas offered.

Aveline remained silent.

"Ten million?" he continued.

It was hard to refuse, but Aveline stood firm. "Your health has improved a lot. Shouldn't we be setting a court date now?" Lucas sighed, his gaze deepening as he looked at her. "Aveline, can we avoid talking about such upsetting matters?" Aveline countered, "But this matter brings me joy."

She paused before suggesting, "Why don't you just sign the divorce papers?"

She pulled a copy of the divorce agreement from her bag and handed it to him.

Lucas' breath caught in his throat, a dull ache spreading through his chest. "You carry that around with you?"
