After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline's body tensed, instinctively wanting to struggle, but she forced herself to remain still. She knew this was what he ultimately wanted; everything that happened before was just a prelude. She had already prepared herself mentally for this.

But just when she expected him to take the next step, he simply held her for a long time. Aveline's body remained rigid, her lips pressed into a tight line.

Lucas could sense her tension. The living room was so quiet that the subtle sound of their intertwined breathing was the only thing that broke the silence.

Suddenly, Lucas released her, his deep, magnetic voice cool as he said, "Goodbye."

Aveline froze, surprised by his words. She looked at him, confused.

Lucas frowned, "What's with that expression? Are you disappointed?"

Aveline quickly stood up. "It's late. I'll head home now."

Without waiting for a response, she hurried out. Lucas watched her retreating figure until the door closed, cutting off his view.
