After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline looked at him and said, "But I don't need you by my side."

Lucas reached out and tapped her forehead lightly. "Aveline, where did you learn this from? You just asked me to help investigate, and now you're saying you don't need me?" Aveline pulled back a little and replied, "Aren't you expecting something in return?"

If he didn't want anything, maybe she could believe his words. But his intentions were too obvious. She couldn't trust him.
