Under Aveline's expectant gaze, Lucas picked up the divorce agreement and tore it to shreds.

Aveline's disappointment was evident, and she added with a hint of regret, "You know, it costs a lot to make copies of these."

She gave him a disapproving look. "If you didn't want to sign, you could've just handed it back to me."

Lucas was speechless.

Aveline replied, "Not too many, just about a hundred."
