Seeing the person outside, Aveline froze.
Why was he here?
Clutching the baseball bat tighter, she turned around and walked
away.
There was no way she was opening that door. Not now, not ever.
Just seeing this man annoyed her.
Aveline went into the kitchen and made a simple plate of pasta, then grabbed her tablet and started watching a TV show.
She was completely absorbed in the show, not caring at all about the person outside her door.
About an hour later, the doorbell rang again.
Assuming it was still Lucas, she ignored it and went about her evening routine, preparing to go to bed.
But this time, the doorbell kept ringing persistently.
Feeling irritated, Aveline stomped over to the door and yanked it open. "Can you stop-"
But her words caught in her throat when she saw two uniformed police officers standing there.
"What's going on?" she asked, bewildered.
The officers exchanged glances and stepped aside, revealing Lucas sitting on the ground. One officer pointed to him and asked, "Is this your husband?" Aveline was puzzled. "No, he's not."
"I am," Lucas said sullenly, pulling out their marriage certificate.
Aveline was speechless.
The other officer said, "Why won't you let your husband inside? If you have marital issues, discuss them at home. Making a scene outside is unbecoming for both of you. Whatever the issue, you should settle it privately."
Aveline didn't know how to respond.
She was utterly shocked.
Lucas had called the police because he couldn't get in!
For a moment, she was speechless.
"Did you hear me?" the officer said sternly when she didn't respond.
Aveline was startled and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I understand.
The officer turned to Lucas. "Alright, go in. Next time, don't call us for things like this; we won't handle it again."Property © .
Lucas stood up, his handsome face tinged with a bit of red, his eyes. slightly dazed. He nodded. "I understand."
Aveline frowned as she looked at him.
Lucas walked over, his gaze fixed intently on her.
The two officers were about to leave when Aveline suddenly asked, " Officers, since you even handle matters like this, would you help me if he had cheated on me?" Both officers paused, their brows furrowing.
"I didn't!" Lucas quickly said. "I didn't cheat."
Aveline let out a cold laugh. "Whether you did or not, you know the truth."
Lucas stared at her. "Aveline, I didn't cheat."
His eyes were tinged with drunkenness and determination, locked onto her as if she were the only person in his world.
Aveline's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing the tension, one of the officers said, "If there are problems in your-marriage, you can file a lawsuit."
With that, the officers left.
At the doorway, Aveline looked at Lucas coldly.
He was drunk. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things. He wouldn't have looked at her like that.
Aveline reached out to close the door, not wanting to deal with him.
But Lucas suddenly strode over and hugged her tightly, his tall, heavy body pressing down on her.
Aveline instinctively took a couple of steps back, ending up inside the apartment, while Lucas closed the door behind him.
"Let go..."
Aveline tried to push him away, but he held her tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't make him move an inch. BIG SALE 1500 bonus free fou you
