After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline felt a surge of frustration building up inside her.

Lucas was so unpredictable!

However, she couldn't afford to give up now-not when things were still unresolved. Especially after her conversation with Ruth today, the guilt and responsibility weighed even heavier on her. If it weren't for her, Ruth wouldn't have suffered so much.

Exhaling slowly, Aveline asked, "Lucas, why don't you want to talk to me? Is it something I said? Should I change the way I speak?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow, clearly annoyed. He was starting to think he should limit her time with Selena-she was definitely picking up some bad habits.
