Aveline thought about Lucas' proposal for three days but couldn't come to a conclusion. That afternoon, she received a call from Barbara.

Aveline was quite surprised and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Barbara's aged voice came through, "What? After the divorce, you don't come to see me anymore? I admit I said some harsh things before and forgot some details. Lucas has told me everything; I wronged you."

Aveline was taken aback. This proud old woman was actually apologizing to her? She almost wanted to check if pigs were flying outside.

Aveline instinctively frowned. "But..."

Barbara interrupted, "Do I have to invite you personally?"

Aveline felt a hint of pressure. The current Barbara was very different from her when she was ill. Aveline had no choice but to agree. "Alright."
