GET IT
Aveline stared at his back.
If looks could kill, he would be riddled with wounds by now.
How infuriating!
"Mrs. Tudor, please get in the car," Desmond urged cautiously.
Aveline looked at him. "I told you not to call me that. Don't you find it disgusting?"
Desmond fell silent.
After speaking, Aveline got into the car.
Looking at Lucas' cold, handsome face, she struggled to suppress her
emotions.
After mentally calming herself for a while, she said, "Lucas, I don't mean anything by it. I'm just thinking of you. If Miss Winter were to find out you don't want a divorce, she'd be heartbroken. What if she jumps off a building again?"
She appeared genuinely concerned.
Lucas' anger only intensified.
He closed his eyes and ignored her.
Seeing his darkened expression, Aveline felt oddly satisfied and turned to look out the window instead of saying more.
The car drove smoothly down the road.
Arthur Town was just a small county. Its nightlife was nowhere near as lively as that of a big city, and the streets became deserted early.
The car entered a winding mountain road, heading towards the hillside.
Aveline vaguely remembered that a prominent business figure lived on
the hillside. This person was originally from Arthur Town but had spent years building a career in other cities. Now older, he wanted to return to his roots and retire in Arthur Town.
As soon as Aveline's thoughts settled, the car stopped at the gate of a grand villa. The guards checked their identities and invitations before letting them through.
The car drove into the villa's courtyard and parked in the lot.
Desmond got out and opened the door for them.
Lucas stood by the car, his tall and elegant figure exuding an air of aloofness. His cold eyes fell on Aveline's face.
Understanding his cue, Aveline walked over, took his arm, and flashed him a sweet smile.
Lucas' eyes paused for a moment, then he said coldly, "That smile is hideous."
Aveline was speechless.
She immediately stopped smiling.
This man was impossible to please!
Going against him didn't work, and complying with him didn't work. either. What was she supposed to do?
Lucas led Aveline towards the villa.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
As they passed through the gate, the scenery opened up before them.
The villa's expansive courtyard, nearly ten thousand square meters in size, was adorned in a whimsical style. Balloons and streamers. adorned the space, and at its center stood a rose-covered volcano. A trail of pink roses wound its way to a sign, which displayed a photo of a young girl.
