After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Happy New Year! How have you been lately?"

Russell's voice carried a hint of laughter.

Aveline replied, "Pretty good. I found my biological parents and have returned to Labor City."

"I'm going abroad."

After a long moment, Russell's voice finally broke the silence.

Aveline was taken aback. "Why the sudden decision to go abroad?"

"I'm sorry."

But instead of answering her question, Russell offered an apology.
