After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline thought this over and spoke directly, "If it's about the situation between him and me, you don't need to say more. I can handle my own affairs." Gernard fell silent.

He had indeed come for that reason.

With the uproar surrounding Lucas' altercation, he had intended to persuade Aveline once more. But hearing her distant tone, he felt a faint, inexplicable discomfort. A sense of unease that he couldn't quite understand. Seeing his silence, Aveline continued, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'm at work."

Gernard replied, "Alright, as long as you know what you're doing. I was just thinking, you were so eager to divorce before but couldn't find a way, and now there's an opportunity right in front of you. I just wanted to help. But it's your decision. I won't disturb you any further. Goodbye.'

He hung up the phone.

A faint trace of mockery flashed in Aveline's eyes.

To help Juliet, Gernard really could say anything. Anyone who didn't know better might have thought he was genuinely concerned for her.

Aveline put her phone down, refocusing her attention on her computer. She tried to immerse herself in her work, and by the time she finished, it was already the end of the day.
