Lucas looked into her clear eyes, noticing her still-pale face, Her expression darkened.

Suddenly, Aveline sat back down. "Forget it. You've already dirtied yourself. I don't like you anymore."

Lucas' voice turned cold. "What did you say?"

Aveline replied, "It's something that was going to happen sooner or later. Is there anything wrong with me saying it now?"

Seeing her indifferent and even apologetic expression, Lucas felt a surge of frustration in his chest.

"Aren't you here to discuss the divorce?" he asked.

Aveline acted as if she had just remembered. "Oh, I almost forgot."

She picked up the divorce agreement, glanced through it, then sneered and tore it up right in front of him.

"I've decided not to divorce," she declared, tossing the shredded paper into the trash. Ignoring Lucas' darkened expression, she turned and walked away.

Yvonne approached, her eyes gentle as she looked at Aveline. "Aveline, are you still upset with me because of what happened before? It was my fault. I truly didn't know that child would lie.

However, Aveline remained calm. "Mrs. Tudor, why not just get to the point? I'm not one for beating around the bush."

Yvonne smiled. "I like your straightforwardness."

She pointed to the café across the street. "Why don't we go there?"

Aveline thought for a moment and nodded. She was curious about what Yvonne wanted to discuss.

In the private room of the café, Yvonne ordered two cups of coffee. Once the waiter left, she smiled at Aveline and asked, You've been married to Lucas for so long. Haven't you thought about having children? Aveline replied, "We're still young, there's no rush."

Yvonne said, "That was true before Lucas regained his memory. But now, his situation is different. He represents the entire Tudor family. If you want to be with him, you need to take certain steps." Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Like having a child with him sooner?"

Yvonne countered, "Don't you want to be with him? I can see that you love him."

Aveline chuckled softly. "Are you saying you want to help me?
