A year ago, Aveline Young found a man with amnesia on the side of the road and brought him home. This man was strikingly handsome, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a face that could easily earn a fortune in modeling. Aveline felt an embarrassing flutter in her heart and on a whim, they quickly got married. However, once the man recovered his memory, his first action was to divorce her, claiming he needed to go back and take over his family's business. Aveline was stunned but accepted the divorce, thinking that money was more important and that she shouldn't be tied to one man when there were plenty of younger options available. On the day they finalized their divorce, Aveline shocked everyone in Cloudflare City with a bold statement in the divorce papers: "He’s no good, so I got bored." Post-divorce, Aveline was never short of attention from young, attractive men. At one social event, a friend inquired whether she would ever consider reconciling. Aveline scoffed. "The one who brings up getting back together is a dog!" Late one night, her phone rang. "Who's this?" "Woof!"
View MoreLucas glanced at her and started eating even faster.Aveline widened her eyes in disbelief. At that moment, she completely forgot about the gruesome photo, focusing solely on not letting Lucas finish all the food.This food was hers! All hers!In the end, only one chicken wing remained on the plate.Quick as a flash, Aveline grabbed it, grinning at Lucas as she put it in her mouth.Lucas set down his fork and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin, his eyes softening slightly.Aveline savored the last chicken wing, feeling completely satisfied.Standing up, she waved her hand. "Lu, you clean up!"She stepped forward, then suddenly stopped, staring ahead at the empty space, blinking rapidly to hold back a surge of sadness.Had she forgotten he was no longer her Lu?"You came uninvited and ate my food, so you should clean up," she said without looking back, then went into the bedroom.Lucas watched her retreating figure, his gaze darkening.That one word, "Lu," had momentarily taken him
"Hello?"Lucas had just returned to the Tudor residence when he received Aveline's call. He answered almost immediately.Aveline tried to keep her voice steady, but a hint of tremor slipped through. "Lucas, where is the bodyguard you arranged for me? The one who's supposed to protect me closely?"Lucas noticed the urgency in her tone and asked, "What happened?"Aveline insisted, "I need a bodyguard close to me at all times."Lucas replied, "If you don't tell me what happened, I can't help you."Aveline retorted, "I don't care. I just want a bodyguard who will immediately appear whenever I need him.”Lucas's eyes darkened when he sensed Aveline was in danger. "Alright, I'll arrange it.""Do it quickly," Aveline said before hanging up.Somehow, hearing his voice eased the fear and anxiety in her heart.She clutched her phone and gave a bitter laugh. Was she becoming dependent on him? What would she do after the divorce without him? How would she survive?Or perhaps... she might not even
The policewoman left the room.Lucas walked over and stood in front of her, saying, "Brian works for me."Aveline's eyes widened slightly. "You sent him to follow me? Are you insane?"Lucas was speechless.A vein in his temple throbbed. He said in a deep voice, "He made a mistake that caused me to misunderstand you, so he came to apologize."What he didn't expect was that Brian would apologize directly to Aveline without explaining who he was. It was a miracle that Aveline hadn't called the police to have him sent to a mental hospital.Aveline asked, puzzled, "What did he do wrong?"Lucas briefly explained the events of that night. Aveline nodded in understanding. "Oh."Lucas looked at her. "How do you want to handle this?"Aveline suddenly chuckled.Lucas frowned. "What's so funny?"Aveline replied, "He knew to apologize for his mistake. What about you?"Lucas paused, his Adam's apple bobbing as his eyes grew darker and more unreadable. The narrow room felt suddenly suffocating, with
As Aveline exited the company, she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized Lucas hadn't followed her. She had been genuinely concerned about what that troublesome man might do next.She walked towards the subway station. It was convenient to take the subway from the company to Maple Garden since it was the last stop. However, as she turned a corner, she noticed someone familiar following her.She paused and glanced back, recognizing the man who had saved her last night and strangely apologized to her this morning.How did he know where she worked? Why was he following her? What did he want?Aveline became vigilant and quickened her pace towards the subway station. After she swiped her card and entered, she looked back and saw the man following her inside.Her breath hitched as she pulled out her phone, ready to call the police at any moment. If he made any move against her, she would definitely report him! For now, she couldn't be sure if he was just going the same way by coinci
Sophia directly threw herself into Lucas' arms. "Lucas, what's going on? I'm scared..."Lucas's body stiffened for a moment. He grabbed her arms and pushed her away. "It might be a power trip. I'll go check."Sophia tried to cling to him again, wanting to hold him. "Don't go. I'm scared."Her perfume wafted over, lingering around Lucas' nose. His brows furrowed deeply. He pushed her away again and took out his phone to turn on the flashlight. "Hold this and shine some light for me."Sophia's expression froze, but she still took the phone.Lucas went to the circuit breaker and checked it. Sure enough, it was a power trip. He flipped the switch, and the entire room lit up."It's fixed." Lucas took his phone back from her, speaking in a flat tone.Sophia bit her lip. In the struggle, her neckline had lowered, revealing a glimpse of her cleavage. But Lucas seemed not to notice. He picked up his coat. "It's late. I'll be going now. Take care."Sophia grabbed the hem of his coat. "Lucas, I'
Seeing her graceful figure in the mirror, Sophia smiled in satisfaction. However, when her gaze fell on her prosthetic leg, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.She had given up so much to be with Lucas. She had to marry him, and Lucas could only be hers.Lucas arrived shortly after. Sophia opened the door with a bright smile. "Lucas, you're here.""Yeah," Lucas responded, stepping in and changing his shoes.Sophia's eyes lit up with anticipation, but throughout the whole time, his gaze never lingered on her. She bit her lip and then asked, "Lucas, do you like my new dress?"She twirled in front of him. Lucas' eyes finally glanced at her, but only briefly. "What did you want to talk about?"Sophia's disappointment was evident. Couldn't he see how much effort she had put into dressing up for him? Why was he so indifferent? Was he like this in front of Aveline as well?"Let's eat first. We'll talk after dinner." Sophia composed herself and led the way to the dining room.Lucas followed h
Aveline hesitated for a moment but eventually walked over.Inside the elevator, there were only Lucas and Desmond.Aveline stepped in, and Desmond instinctively moved to the corner.Aveline lowered her eyes slightly, trying to ignore the strong, cold aura next to her. The elevator was quiet, with a faint chilly atmosphere circulating.When the elevator doors opened, Aveline didn't rush out. She waited for Lucas to exit first. But since she didn't move, Lucas didn't either.What was going on?Desmond, standing in the corner, felt like he wanted to disappear into the ground as he thought, “Mr. Tudor, Miss Young, if you two don't leave, how can I? Can't you talk outside? Why occupy the elevator?”Just as Desmond's mental defenses were about to collapse, Lucas finally spoke, "Aren't you going home?"Aveline replied, "I am. You go ahead, Mr. Tudor. I'm not in a hurry."Lucas said, "Mm, if you're not in a hurry, neither am I."Aveline was speechless and wondered, “What's wrong with this guy?
Aveline had just sat down at her desk and turned on her computer when the chatting around her suddenly quieted down. She turned her head in confusion and immediately saw Lucas standing beside her.Her expression froze. "Mr. Tudor, do you need something?"Lucas looked intently at her face and said, "Yes, follow me."Aveline responded, "Okay."Lucas was speechless.When Desmond called, she said she was too busy. But now that Lucas came in person, she suddenly had time? Lucas's mouth twitched in annoyance.Aveline followed him to the CEO's office. Desmond glanced at her, his look full of dissatisfaction, but Aveline pretended not to notice.Inside the CEO's office, Aveline looked at Lucas with a blank expression. "What do you need, Mr. Tudor?"Lucas kept looking at her face. His expression remained cold and dignified. "I know what happened that night. I can agree to all your conditions.""Oh," Aveline responded without any emotion.Lucas raised an eyebrow. "What's with that reaction?"Av
When Aveline woke up, she felt something heavy on her body. Startled, she quickly turned to see what it was. Seeing that it was just Selena's leg draped over her, she breathed a sigh of relief.For a moment, she thought it was Lucas...Shaking her head, she wondered why she was thinking about that scumbag. Moving Selena's leg aside, she got up to wash.After making a simple breakfast, she called Selena to get up.Selena groggily sat up, stared at her for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"Aveline was puzzled. "What happened last night?"Yawning, Selena got out of bed and started telling her about the events of the previous night."Brian Cooper?"Aveline paused after hearing the name. She didn't know this person.Selena said, "Maybe he really was just a good Samaritan who saw us in trouble and stepped in to help. If we see him again, we should thank him.""Yeah, you're right." Aveline nodded.They ate breakfast and left the house together. To
