"Lucas, are you out of your mind?"

Aveline was speechless.

She had done nothing, and yet he was suggesting arranging a room for her with another man. Was he out of his mind?

Lucas stared at her intensely for a long time before saying, "Aveline, you can't accept another man, nor can you love another man. If I find out, you might not die, but that man will wish he was dead." His tone was serious, a grave warning. The possessiveness in his eyes was utterly undisguised.

Aveline pressed her lips together, her gaze complicated as she looked at him. If he had shown this behavior before, she would have been overjoyed. But after everything that had happened, hearing these words from him only left her feeling indifferent.

Lucas looked at her for another moment before finally letting her go.
