After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Chapter 26

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.

"Alright, I'll help you with that."

"Thank you."
