Chapter 660

Startled, Aveline turned around and saw Lucas standing nearby, holding a freshly made cup of something warm, steam still rising from it.

She frowned slightly. "Were you eavesdropping on my conversation?"

Lucas walked over, sat down in the chair next to her, and looked out the window. His side profile was sharp and handsome, with his bangs falling slightly forward, giving him a more youthful appearance. For a moment, Aveline felt a flash of nostalgia, as if she was seeing him from when they first met.

Aveline was shocked. "How did you know?"

A slight, mocking smile played on Lucas' lips. "Because she didn't only ask you. She's been trying to get others around me to do the same. I believe they call that 'casting a wide net."" Aveline paused, her emotions becoming more complicated.
