After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Lucas' expression froze, his sharp eyes fixed on her. "You're really not renewing the contract?"

Aveline shook her head. "No, I don't need the money anymore."

Lucas was momentarily speechless.

If money wasn't enough to sway her, what else could he offer to keep her?

His health was gradually improving, and the court hearing was only a matter of time. He could choose to avoid it indefinitely, but that wasn't a real solution.

What he wanted was to grow closer to her, not to maintain this fragile façade of calm.

Their relationship felt too delicate as if it could shatter with the slightest touch.

Aveline packed up the lunchbox and left without giving him a second glance.

There was no hesitation in her departure.

Lucas leaned back against the headboard, tilting his head slightly and closing his eyes. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere settled around him. Just then, his phone rang. He answered it. "Hello?"

Desmond's voice came through, "Mr. Tudor, there's no sign of the person Mrs. Tudor mentioned at the entrance of Maple Garden. I had the area searched, but nothing suspicious was found. Could she have been mistaken?"

Lucas' tone was cold. "Check the surveillance footage. Make sure you find that person."

Desmond replied, "Understood."
