After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Lucas didn't take the box.

His eyes remained fixed on her as he said, "Even if you don't like it now, keep it. One day, when you do like it, you can wear it."

Aveline fell silent for a moment before replying, "Can't you tell? I don't want it."

Lucas simply replied, "But I've already given it to you. Whether you want it or not, it's yours. If you really don't want it, go ahead and toss it. Maybe some beggar will find it and become rich overnight." Aveline's fingers tightened around the box slightly.

She knew the pink diamond inside was worth a fortune, likely not less than two million dollars. Throwing away something so valuable was out of the question.

Seeing her hesitation, Lucas added, "Just keep it. You'll come to like it someday."

What nonsense...

She didn't like it now; why would she like it in the future?

Still, she didn't throw it away but placed it on her lap instead.

Lucas glanced at her pale wrist and paused before saying, "If you wore it, it would look beautiful."

Aveline ignored his comment, shifting the conversation. "Why did you send someone in there? We're about to get divorced, and now you've made our relationship public. What am I supposed to do once we're divorced?" Patrick's sudden change in attitude was clearly because he feared Lucas.
