Lucas seemed to have figured out what was on her mind and said, "It's just one night. What are your

afraid of?"

Aveline replied, "I'm not afraid. I just think that, given our current relationship, it's not appropriate for us. to stay together."

Hearing this, Lucas's expression darkened. "What relationship?"

Aveline responded, "The relationship of a couple about to divorce."

Before she finished her sentence, Lucas walked towards her, his eyes dark and cold.

Aveline immediately became alert. "What are you doing?"

Lucas stopped in front of her, his gaze intense. "So after all this time, after everything we've been through, you still want a divorce?"

Aveline lowered her gaze slightly, her lashes fluttering. "Lucas, I've seriously thought about it. We can't go back to how we were before. Marriage should bring a sense of security and comfort, but I've never felt that way, and I believe you haven't either. So, it's better to separate. It might be the best option for

both of us."

She spoke sincerely, then looked up at him with clear and earnest eyes.

Lucas stared at her deeply and said calmly, "You're wrong. I do feel comfort."

Aveline frowned. "When?"

Lucas replied, "When I'm in bed with you. It's both pleasurable and comforting."

Aveline's expression turned ugly at once.

This shameless man!

She was trying to have a serious conversation, and he said that!: owner of this content.

Seeing her anger, Lucas raised an eyebrow. "You were honest about your feelings with me, so I did the same. Don't you feel comfortable in bed?" "Shut up!"

Aveline didn't want to hear any more, her face growing even darker.

Lucas scoffed lightly. "Aveline, I'm just expressing my feelings, and you're already angry. Aren't you being too unreasonable?"

Unreasonable?

Her?

How dare hel

Aveline was so furious she couldn't even form a sentence. She spat in her mind, "Shameless!"

Seeing her puffed-up anger, a faint smile flashed In Lucas's deep eyes. "Let's leave it at that for tonight. Take some time to reconsider. The next time we discuss this, you'd better convince me. Then I'll agree to the divorce."

Convince him?

With his stubbornness, how could she possibly convince him? This despicable man had figured her out completely!

Aveline didn't want to talk to him anymore.

She turned to leave.

"Aren't you going to make yourself comfortable in the room? We'll be sleeping here tonight, after all," Lucas said.

Aveline quickened her pace, yanked open the door, and saw Sophia standing there.

Aveline's face immediately turned cold. "Miss Winter, do you have a habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations?" Sophia shifted uncomfortably, her expression sheepish. "I came to see Lucas. I wasn't trying to listen in on your conversation." Aveline scoffed and walked away.

Lucas approached and asked Sophia, "What's the matter?"

Sophia wrung her hands together and said, "Lucas, I didn't know you and Miss Young were coming back today. If I had known, I wouldn't have come. You have to believe me, I didn't mean to intrude." COIN BUNDLE: get more free bonus
