After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Chapter 256

Lucas leaned in close, his hot breath ghosting over Aveline's ear. Despite the warmth of his proximity, his words carried an icy edge. You know I'm injured, yet your concern lies elsewhere. Tell me, Aveline, why does another man occupy your thoughts while I-your husband-am right here beside you?

His teeth-clenched tone sounded like he wanted to devour her alive.

Aveline's body stiffened, and her heart pounded.

What was he saying? Was he jealous?

Impossible.

He didn't love her!

How could he be jealous?

Aveline thought Lucas might be irritated because she kept mentioning another man after he had done so much to save her.

Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, and she said, " I... I'll stop mentioning him. Please don't be upset. It's not good for your recovery." Her tone softened noticeably.

Lucas wasn't planning to let her off so easily, but hearing her gentle voice, his anger dissipated instantly.

He stared at her profile, her fluttering lashes.
