"Selena is impulsive. If she did something to hurt you, I hope you won't hold it against her. I promise she won't do it again."Selena's eyes turned red instantly. "Ave, why are you apologizing? This has nothing to do with you!"Aveline ignored her and looked at Lucas. "Is this enough now?"Her face was slightly pale, and there was a shattered light in her eyes.Wasn't it just forcing her to comply?Why wasn't he satisfied when she had already complied with his wishes?She was truly blind.Why didn't she listen to Selena?The taste of reaping what one sows was truly unpleasant.Lucas looked deeply at her, feeling a wave of irritation. What did this matter have to do with her?A cold, harsh aura enveloped him.Sophia spoke up at this moment, "I'm fine, but Lucas is injured. I understand that Miss Quin is angry, but hurting someone is against the law. I hope Miss Quin won't do this again in the future."She looked at the two bodyguards. "Let go of Miss Quin."The two bodyguards immediate

"Six million and the house, don't you want them anymore?"Lucas looked at her with an emotion in his eyes that Aveline couldn't decipher.Aveline clenched her fists, staring at him, and suddenly felt deflated.She did want them.With money and a house, she wouldn't have to work anymore. She could leave this city, go far away, and make sure he could never find her.Oh... how naive of her. As if he would ever look for her.Keeping a cold face, she found the first aid kit, sat down beside him, opened it, and began disinfecting his wound."It hurts," he said softly.His deep, magnetic voice, slightly hoarse, carried his unique roughness, making it a real temptation to Aveline.Her breathing became slightly erratic, and instead of being gentle, her movements became more forceful.This time, Lucas didn't say anything.He just watched her quietly. Her expression was indifferent, her delicate features stunningly beautiful. Though she usually didn't wear makeup, she had a touch of purity about

As the words fell, the air seemed to freeze.Aveline blinked, then smiled and pushed him away. "Lucas, this is pointless."Wanting a divorce and to sleep with her—where did he get such audacity?Aveline went straight to freshen up.Lucas's emotions, which had finally calmed down, became agitated again.By the time Aveline came out, Lucas had already left.Without any expression, she went to the kitchen, made some salad, and ate a few bites. Then she took out her phone and called Desmond."Hello, Miss Young."Aveline said, "I'm taking a day off today. Could you assist me?"Desmond was startled and then asked, "May I ask why you're taking a day off, Miss Young?"Aveline replied, "To get a divorce."Desmond kept quiet.He shouldn't have asked."Alright, I’ll help you with that.""Thank you."After hanging up, Aveline got up to wash the dishes.Then she started cleaning the house. She did a thorough cleaning, but even after the house was spotless, something still felt off.Her gaze swept o

Lucas frowned and hung up the phone, then walked out.In the garden, Sophia had already approached Barbara. She held out a cotton candy shaped like a kitten. "Madam Barbara, look at this cute little kitten."Barbara's eyes lit up when she saw the cotton candy, but she didn't take it. Instead, she tugged on Aveline's hand."Granddaughter-in-law, you get me cotton candy. I don't like kittens; I like bunnies."From the moment Sophia appeared, Aveline had instinctively tensed up. But when she heard Barbara's voice, she suddenly relaxed. An indescribable feeling welled up inside her, making her feel a bit sad and close to tears."Okay, I'll get you one," Aveline said.Barbara smiled brightly. "My granddaughter-in-law is the best."Sophia, still holding the cotton candy, froze awkwardly. She slowly withdrew her hand and looked at Aveline. " Madam Barbara likes you very much."Aveline replied calmly, "She just happens to find me pleasing."Sophia smiled slightly, lowering her eyes with a hint

"Darling Ave, want to come out and have some fun? I found a great new bar," Selena's excited voice came through.Aveline took a deep breath and said, "Sure, send me the location.""OK, see you soon."After hanging up, Aveline looked at the sunset once more, the pain in her chest still lingering. She scoffed at herself.He was already messing around with Sophia, so why should she care anymore?Once she got the divorce settlement, she'd be living the high life with young, handsome men on each arm, carefree and happy!Why not start enjoying that life a bit early?When Aveline arrived at Feline Bar, Selena was waiting at the entrance. She rushed up to her and gave her a big hug."Ave, how do you manage to look prettier every time I see you?"Aveline laughed. "You always know how to flatter me."Selena linked arms with her and led her inside. "I heard the DJ here is wild. You're going to love it!"Aveline teased, "Did you forget I'm a married woman?"Selena scoffed. "Why should that matter?
