After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Chapter 390

Aveline froze, instinctively turning to look at him. The dim light inside the car cast shadows over his face, making it difficult to read his expression. She opened her mouth but felt lost. "I don't know either," she said softly.

As an orphan, she had never seen how parents interacted and therefore didn't know what a good husband or father looked like. But Lucas came from a complete family. How could he not know? Aveline wanted to ask, but given their current relationship, it seemed unnecessary. Even if she knew, what difference would it make?

Lucas spoke in a low voice, "Since neither of us knows, let's just get by. Why complicate things with so many demands?"

Aveline remained silent. The atmosphere in the car was stifling.

"Hello, Selena," she answered, thinking Selena had finished packing and was ready to leave.

Instead, Selena's voice was frantic. "Ave, Lucas' people are trying to take me away! I-" Her words were cut off by a commotion, followed by a scream, and then the line went dead. "Hello? Hello?!" Aveline's face turned pale with worry, but the call had ended.

She turned sharply to Lucas, "Did you send someone to take Selena? Lucas, what are you trying to do? I've been following your
