Aveline squinted her eyes slightly and said, "Handsome, gentle, sometimes domineering, but always exceptionally good to me, always goes along with whatever I say..."

As she described, Lucas' face appeared in her mind.

No, it was Lu's face.

He smiled at her gently, his eyes filled with an overwhelming affection and tenderness. That was the memory-less Lu.

Her Lu.

Zachary's eyes brightened even more, and just as he was about to say something, Aveline suddenly stood up. However,

to drink, she felt dizzy and stumbled as soon as she got up.

"Careful!"

Zachary quickly stood up to support her, and she ended up leaning unsteadily into his arms.

This scene was taken in by a man not far away.

"Sorry..."

Aveline, her cheeks flushed, looked at Zachary with a hint of apology in her clear, shimmering eyes.

She had accidentally drunk too much. Her alcohol tolerance was low. She could handle half a bottle of this cocktail, but anything more would get her drunk. Zachary's ears turned red as he supported her. "You're drunk. Let me help you into the tent to rest."

As he spoke, he began to help Aveline towards the tent.

But Aveline shook her head. "No, I want to look at the stars."

She had stood up because she saw the beautiful stars! The night sky had completely enveloped the earth, and the stars twinkled brightly. and purely.

She smiled at Zachary, "You didn't lie. They're really beautiful!"

Aveline stood very close to him, the scent of her perfume mixed with the aroma of alcohol filling the air around him. Her face, without makeup, was delicate and beautiful, her eyes soft, and the light blush at the corners of her eyes from the alcohol made her even more enchanting.

Zachary felt his heart race, his eyes drifting to Aveline's lips.

"Aveline, may I..."

But before he could finish, someone suddenly pushed him aside, and that person pulled Aveline away from him.

Zachary staggered back a few steps to steady himself, looking up to see a man with a cold and noble demeanor holding Aveline. The man's eyes were filled with icy hostility.

Zachary felt a chill run down his spine but still asked, "Who are you?"

Lucas' voice was cold, but his gaze remained on the charming woman in his arms. Seeing her looking so clean yet alluring, remembering how she had been smiling at another man just moments ago, anger surged

within him.

He squeezed Aveline's waist, his deep, pleasing voice demanding, "Tell him who I am."

Aveline felt dizzy but hadn't completely lost consciousness. She frowned. "What are you doing here?"

This infuriating man was relentless!Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Lucas' tone grew colder. "Tell him who I am!"

His grip tightened as if he wanted to crush her waist.

"Ugh..." Aveline groaned, pushing against him. "Let go of me. Who you love is none of my business."

Seeing this, Zachary stepped forward to pull Aveline back. "Aveline doesn't know you. Let her go!"

Lucas' anger flared even more. He stared intensely at Aveline, then suddenly grabbed her chin and kissed her fiercely.

Aveline was stunned, momentarily forgetting to react. Seeing his face so close, her tears suddenly fell.

"Lu..." she murmured, wrapping her arms around his neck and responding to his kiss.

Lucas' body tensed, and his kiss became even more passionate and intense.
