In the early morning, the streets were mostly empty. Aveline walked for a while before hailing a taxi.

"To the airport," she said softly, her gaze drifting out the window, her eyes filled with an eerie calm.

Meanwhile, Braden watched Aveline leave and dialed Lucas' number. "Mr. Tudor, Miss Aveline is leaving. She seems to be headed for the airport."

With no traffic, Aveline arrived at the airport just before 7 a.m. She bought a ticket for the earliest flight and walked toward the security checkpoint. "Aveline."

A familiar voice called out from behind her, making her freeze in place. She closed her eyes briefly before turning around calmly to face Lucas, who stood not far away, his handsome face cold as he looked at her.

"Where are you going?" Lucas walked toward her, step by step. "I've been looking for you for days. You're leaving as soon as you return? Are you abandoning me?"

He stopped in front of her, staring directly into her eyes.

Aveline replied, "We're already divorced. Don't make this sound so ambiguous."
