After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Yes, that's right." Aveline nodded, her clear eyes fixed on him. "So, are you going to sign it?" Lucas' expression cooled as he looked away, refusing to take the divorce papers she offered.

Unfazed, Aveline put the papers back in her bag. She knew it was only a matter of time before he would sign. She couldn't help but regret not signing when he had people deliver the divorce papers every day. She must have been out of her mind back then. After Lucas finished his meal, Aveline asked again, "Will you sign now?"

Lucas gave her a cold stare. "If I don't sign, are you going to ask me every day?"

"Yes," Aveline replied firmly.

Lucas clenched his teeth slightly. "Aveline, I've told you before I'm not going to divorce you."

Aveline shrugged. "But what's the point of staying married? I don't love you."

In the past, he found that statement laughable. Love? What did that matter? He didn't need it. But now, hearing her say it so calmly, his chest tightened painfully, making it hard to breathe.

His expression darkened as he stared at her. "Even so, I won't agree to a divorce."

"Alright then," Aveline conceded, "we'll just wait for the court hearing."
