Before Lucas could say anything, Barbara exploded..

"Divorce? No, absolutely not! Aveline is such a good granddaughter-in-law, you can't divorce her!"Property © .

She grabbed Lucas's hand, her aged face full of distress.

Grandson, if you dare divorce your wife, I'll cry, I really will cry...

And with that, Barbara actually started crying!

The scene happened so suddenly that everyone was taken aback.

Lucas was stunned, seeing his grandmother cry more and more intensely. Worried that her crying might cause health issues, he quickly said, "Grandma, we won't divorce. We won't divorce." Barbara's tears stopped instantly. "Really?"

Lucas nodded. "Really."

Barbara then said, "Tonight, bring your wife home so the Tudor family can meet her!"

Lucas didn't respond to her demand.

Barbara continued to insist, "If you don't agree, I'll start crying again!"

Yvonne, standing nearby, smiled. "It seems Mom really likes Aveline. Lucas, I think you should reconsider. Marriage is not something to be taken lightly."

Lucas's lips pressed into a thin line.

Aveline watched the entire scene, feeling touched. A

grandmother she had never met before liked her so much, but Lucas insisted on divorcing her.

What was it about that other girl that made Lucas, now with his memory back, so fixated on her?

She suddenly became curious about the profound past between Lucas and that girl.

After calming Barbara down, Lucas looked at Aveline. "Let's go."

Aveline's eyelashes fluttered as she turned to bid farewell to Barbara. "Madam,

ase rest well. I'll visit you when I have time.

Barbara nodded, looking at her eagerly. "You must come, okay?"

"Okay."

Aveline felt her heart soften uncontrollably.

Such an adorable granny!

After leaving the hospital, Lucas said directly, "You have something else to do, so you can't go."

Aveline paused, realizing he didn't want to take her to the Tudor family. Did he find her so unpresentable?

"What if I insist on going?"

Lucas looked directly at her. "Aveline, pushing too hard will only hurt you."

Aveline smiled. "If I remember correctly, we aren't divorced yet, right? Now that you've found your family, isn't it normal to take me to meet them? Or do you want to take someone else?" Lucas stared at her intently, then suddenly smiled. "Fine, I'll

take you."

His sudden change in attitude surprised Aveline.

Aveline began to feel hopeful. Meeting the family meant being accepted.

Could it be...

He wasn't going to divorce her?

Aveline tried to control her emotions, her eyes fixed on him. " You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

Lucas said, "I never lie."

Aveline's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Really? Haven't you. lied to me enough already?"

Lucas kept quiet as he turned and walked away.

Aveline watched his tall, straight back and called out, "Don't forget to come pick me up!"

He didn't respond. Aveline pursed her lips, thinking, "What a jerk!"

Still, the thought of soon meeting his family made her happy.

Back home, she started picking out a dress and even put on makeup. In the mirror, she looked elegant and beautiful.

His family would surely like her, right?

Feeling excited, she soon heard her phone ring. She picked it up and saw that it was Lucas calling.
