Sophia lowered her eyes, hiding her thoughts. This time, she wanted to see how Lucas could continue being with Aveline!

Aveline returned to the villa.

A servant approached her and said, "Madam Aveline, the kitchen has already sent the smoothie that Madam Barbara ordered to Mr. Tudor's bedroom. Please remember to drink it." "Alright, I know." Aveline nodded slightly. "Has Grandma gone to bed?"

The servant shook her head. "Not yet."

Aveline said, "Then I'll go see her."

The servant led her to Barbara's room.

Barbara was playing with a flower garland and looked pleasantly surprised when she saw Aveline." Ave, are you here to keep me company?"

"Yes, Grandma. How about I sleep with you tonight?" Aveline walked over and sat opposite her.

Barbara was about to nod but then shook her head as if she remembered something. "No, you can't sleep with me. How will I get a great-grandchild if you're with me? You need to sleep with Lucas." Aveline's lips twitched slightly.

Barbara looked like a child, yet her mind was filled with the desire to have great-grandchildren.

Barbara insisted, "It's late. You should go back and sleep with Lucas.": owner of this content.

Aveline didn't move and said, "How about I play with you for a little while?"

Barbara was about to refuse when Aveline took out a string, tied both ends and said, "How about we play cat's cradle?"

Barbara's attention was immediately captured, and she nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, let's play."

Meanwhile, in Lucas' bedroom, the servant said, "Mr. Lucas, Madam Babara instructed me to watch you drink the smoothie."

Lucas glanced at the smoothie on the table, picked it up, and drank it. Then he asked, "Where's Aveline?

The servant replied, "Madam Aveline is with the Madam Babara."

Lucas acknowledged with a nod and handed the empty cup to the servant.

The servant turned to leave and, upon descending the stairs, encountered Sophia.

"Miss Winter, Mr. Lucas said he needs to see you. Please go to him," the servant said, approaching her.

Sophia was taken aback.

Lucas wanted to see her?

He had been so indifferent earlier, so why was he looking for her now?

Although puzzled, Sophia went upstairs.

As she reached the door and was about to knock, she noticed it was slightly ajar.

After a moment's hesitation, she pushed it open and walked in.

"Lucas, did you call for me?" she asked.

But the room was empty; there was no sign of Lucas.

Instead, the sound of running water came from the bathroom-Lucas was showering!

Sophia, thinking of something, walked directly toward the bathroom and said, "Lucas, Aveline asked me to come help you. If you're not feeling well, let me in, okay?"

"Get out!"

The water's noise was mixed with Lucas' deep, angry roar.

Even through the door, his fury was palpable!

Sophia's eyes flashed, and she continued, "Lucas, let me help you. Aveline doesn't want to come; she even said she wants a divorce. Lucas, she doesn't love you. Let me in, okay? I'm the one who truly loves you.

A look of joy appeared on Sophia's face.

Lucas emerged from the bathroom in a bathrobe, his body still wet, exuding a chilling aura.

"What did you say?" His dark eyes were cold as if covered in frost.
