After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Did he really just say that? Was he possessed or something?

"You don't have to look at me like that," Lucas said, almost as if he could read her thoughts.

A faint smile tugged at his thin lips. "In the past, I only thought about how much I liked your scent, your body, and having you by my side.

He continued, "Of course, I still feel the same way. But I think maybe if I try a different approach, I might have a chance to keep you here... to save this marriage of ours that's on the brink of collapse."

As Lucas spoke, he kept his gaze on her, his deep, dark eyes holding a hint of tenderness.

A wave of bitterness rose in Aveline's heart. She couldn't quite describe how she felt.
