Chapter 131

"What are you doing?"Aveline was startled and instinctively tried to avoid him. However, the bathtub was slippery, and after several attempts to struggle, she fell back into it.Lucas pressed one hand on her shoulder, leaning over her. His long, narrow eyes fixed on her, already tinged with a hint of crimson, as if suppressing some emotion."Aveline, do you like Russell?" His deep voice questioned her heavily.Aveline was stunned, feeling speechless!How could he ask such a question?Didn't he know whom she liked?However, without her consent, he entered her home, questioned her in that tone, and bullied her like this. There was no way she could say she liked him!"Who I like has nothing to do with you!"Aveline's clear eyes stared straight at him, not fearing his cold demeanor at all. "What? You can like Miss Winter, but I can't like other men?""No, you can't!" Lucas roared. His hand pressed on her shoulder while gripping her chin, and his fierce kiss followed.Aveline was shocked a

Chapter 132

Lucas sat down on a chair, his expression noble and indifferent. "Eat first.”Aveline walked over and snatched the utensils from his hand, slamming them onto the table. "Lucas, how did you get in here?"Lucas looked at her calmly, his mood inexplicably lifting at her angry expression. "Do you think changing the password lock will keep me out? As long as I want to, I can come in anytime."His deep, magnetic voice made her feel as though he was talking about something else entirely. Remembering everything that happened last night, she became even angrier. "You want to eat? No way! None of this is for you!"She moved his bowl and utensils away and sat at the farthest spot from him, eating on her own.Lucas watched her and suddenly chuckled, "Aveline, aren't you being childish?"Aveline said nothing. What could she do? She couldn't manage him with either force or kindness. She had no way to handle Lucas!Lucas wasn't angry; he just watched her with amusement. When she finished eating, he f

"Hey, Selena, do you know anyone who sells high-tech locks?"Selena was momentarily stunned by her question. "Didn't you just change your lock? Why do you need to change it again?"Aveline replied, "It can't keep people out, so I have to keep changing it."Selena was silent for a moment before saying, "Why not just get a new place?"Aveline's eyes lit up. "You're right, let's just get a new house."Selena said, "I can introduce you to someone for that. Maple Garden is a great area. If you sell for a bit less, I'm sure someone will be willing to buy."Aveline agreed. "Okay, let's do that. I have to go to work now. We'll talk more after I get off tonight.""Alright."...At the office.Aveline spent the entire day working, coordinating with Brighton Enterprises, and inspecting the construction site.In short, she didn't get a moment's rest.When she returned to the office, most people had already left.She sat at her desk, took a sip of water, and then called Selena."Hey, Ave, are you d

Chapter 134

Lucas shot a cold glance at Selena.Selena felt a chill run through her and instinctively looked away.Lucas's icy gaze then fell on Russell, but it was just a fleeting glance before he turned to Aveline and asked, "Bringing strange men into our home without my permission, isn't that inappropriate?"Aveline laughed out of anger. "This is my house. Why should I need your permission to bring friends over?"With one hand in his pocket, Lucas maintained his cold, noble demeanor. "Have we divorced?"Aveline pressed her lips together.Lucas continued, "Since we haven't divorced, you're still my wife. Your house is marital property, which means what's yours is also mine."Suppressing her anger, Aveline replied coldly, "Do I really have to spell it out for you?"Lucas looked at her with a faint, mocking smile. "What? Do you want to argue in front of everyone? Are you sure you want to air our marital issues in public?"Aveline was speechless.Shameless!Did he still remember they were married?

"What are you doing? Put me down!"Aveline was shocked. What had gotten into this man again?Lucas quickly walked into the bedroom, tossing her onto the bed. Before she could get up, he leaned over, his heavy body pinning her down, his gaze dark and intense."What are you doing, Lucas?"Aveline's chest heaved with anger, her beautiful eyes burning with fury.Lucas looked at her coldly. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Russell? What were you thinking today, bringing him here? If I hadn't happened to show up, what were you planning to do?"Aveline found him completely unreasonable!She struggled fiercely. "Lucas, stop being crazy! Russell and I are friends. What's wrong with bringing a friend over?"She dared not mention that she was selling the house. If he knew, he might tear her heart apart!This man, when he lost his mind, was capable of anything!Lucas stared at her intensely. Her face had turned a delicate shade of red from her efforts.She wasn't wearing any makeup, but the bl

Chapter 136

Aveline looked at him calmly, raising an eyebrow. "Not continuing?"Lucas suddenly scoffed coldly and stood up, leaving the room.As she heard the door slam loudly, Aveline let out a deep breath.She was really afraid and didn’t know how she could defend herself if he continued. It was like last night; she had no way to resistBut she didn’t want this.He had feelings for Sophia, and she didn’t want to be entangled with him any further.She just hoped to get through this month safely.By then, she would definitely get a divorce!...The next day.After work, Aveline was about to leave when someone blocked her path with a smile. "Mrs. Tudor, I'm the butler of the estate. Madam Yvonne asked me to take you to the estate for dinner."Yvonne?Aveline was puzzled. "Why did Madam Yvonne suddenly invite me?"Did Lucas know about this?The butler smiled and said, "Mr. Lucas hasn’t been back for a while. Mr. Frederick and Madam Yvonne miss him very much, so they wanted to invite you over. Mr. Lu

Chapter 137

Aveline directly grabbed Crystal's wrist, her clear eyes now tinged with coldness. "I told you, it wasn't me!"Crystal forcefully shook off her hand. "He's only seven. Could he lie? Not only are you an ill-mannered maid, but you are also cruel to harm a child!"The little boy cried his heart out.Anyone witnessing this scene would think Aveline had bullied the boy.The people around looked at Aveline with disdain and contempt.Aveline instantly became the target of everyone’s blame."What happened?"At that moment, Yvonne appeared, looking at everyone with a puzzled expression.Crystal pointed at Aveline. "Is she your maid? When I came in, I asked her to help me with my bag, but she ignored me. Then she hit my grandson. Look at him crying. She must be so cruel to bully a child!"When Yvonne heard this, she seemed surprised by the situation.She frowned and glanced sympathetically at the boy. "Don't cry, look what I have here. It's candy."She took out a lollipop and handed it to the bo

Chapter 138

As soon as Lucas entered, his gaze landed on Aveline. Seeing the two bodyguards holding her, his expression turned icy."Let go."His tone was cold, surrounded by a powerful and chilling aura.The two bodyguards instinctively released her and looked over at Crystal.Crystal, seeing him, immediately said, "Lucas, you're just in time. This maid not only ignored my words but also hit my grandson. How are we going to resolve this?"Lucas ignored Crystal's words and went straight to Aveline, his eyes fixed on her. "Are you okay?"Aveline's heart trembled slightly. She shook her head. "I'm fine. I didn't hit him.""I know," Lucas said quickly and confidently.At that moment, Aveline's heart settled.Regardless of their past conflicts, at least for now, he was on her side.Aveline lowered her gaze, suppressing the emotions that surged within her.Crystal's brows furrowed deeply as she watched this scene.The onlookers were also quite surprised.Wasn't this woman a maid of the Tudor family?Wh

Chapter 139

Lucas' eyes were filled with a layer of cold indifference as he glanced at Yvonne.Yvonne felt a sudden weight on her shoulders, an invisible pressure enveloping her. Her eyes flickered, and she said no more.Crystal's face was grim. "What do you want to do?"Surely, Lucas wasn't going to make her apologize to Aveline? Was he crazy? What was her status compared to Aveline's? Did Aveline deserve it?Lucas cast a cold glance at Crystal before turning his gaze to the little boy."Come here."Crystal held the boy tightly. "Lucas, what are you going to do? Are you planning to harm a child?"Lucas looked at her coolly. "Do you think I’m like you?""You!"Crystal's face turned livid.But she knew that today’s incident was her fault. She couldn't be too aggressive. She almost wished Lucas would force her to apologize to Aveline, as it would escalate the issue to a conflict between the Tudor and Ross families. That would make things harder to resolve.The little boy, cowering in Crystal's arms,

Chapter 140

What was she thinking?Was she actually wondering if he cared about her and if he had feelings for her?She must be crazy.Lucas would do anything for Sophia. He helped her today only because he didn't want her gone so soon, leaving no one to shield Sophia.After all, it would be hard to find another fool like her.Aveline took a deep breath and then pulled her hand away.By this time, they had reached the gates of the estate.Lucas turned back to look at her, his expression unreadable.Aveline said calmly, "Thank you for today."Then she turned to leave.But Lucas grabbed her wrist, his brow furrowing. "That's it?"Aveline smiled slightly. "What else?"Lucas' lips pressed into a straight line. He pulled her wrist, bringing her close to him.They were so close that their breaths mingled on each other's faces.Aveline felt uncomfortable with the proximity. Given their current situation, it felt too intimate.She stepped back. "Lucas, what do you want from me? I'm grateful to you, but th
