"You!" Aveline's expression darkened. Aaron's attitude made it clear he saw Selena as nothing more than a plaything.If that was the case, there was no way she would let Aaron take Selena away tonight."Fine, let her go. You have no right to take her, and even less right to interfere with her freedom," Aveline said coldly.Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Aveline, I'm being civil because of Lucas. Do you think too highly of yourself?"Aveline's gaze remained icy. "You don't need to consider him at all. I have nothing to lose. If you insist on taking her, you'll have to go through me first."There was a fierce determination in her eyes. She was resolute in protecting Selena. Selena was her only family now.Moved by Aveline's resolve, Selena suddenly bit down hard on Aaron's hand, causing him to release her in pain.Selena quickly ran to Aveline's side. "Ave, I won't go with him!"Aveline nodded. "I’ll protect you."Selena was overwhelmed with emotion, nearly ready to pledge her life to Aveli

Aveline eyed him warily, his dark, piercing gaze fixed on her as if she were already his prey.Memories of past traumas resurfaced, and she bit her lip, suddenly raising the kitchen knife to her own throat."You're right, I don't dare to hurt you, but that doesn't mean I won't harm myself. Lucas, if you take one more step, I'll cut myself. Let's see if you can keep talking like this while facing a corpse!"Lucas stopped in his tracks, the playful expression vanishing from his face as he glared at her, his gaze dark and intense. "Put the knife down!"Instead of lowering the knife, Aveline pressed it closer to her neck, stubbornly saying, "Get out! You're not welcome here!"Lucas remained still, his gaze locked on her with a menacing intensity.Seeing his hesitation, Aveline gritted her teeth and pressed the blade even closer. Her delicate skin barely brushed the knife's edge, which had been sharpened—just a slight touch and it immediately left a thin line of blood on her slender, pale n

A cold, shadowed look darkened Lucas' eyes as he watched her pale face and heard her murmurs. He scoffed. Love? What did it matter? As long as she remained by his side, love was irrelevant.At Maple Garden, Lucas carried Aveline upstairs, used her finger to unlock the door, and strode inside. He went straight to the bathroom and began running hot water in the tub. Once it was ready, he gently placed her in the bath, and the tension in her furrowed brow eased slightly.She was already running a fever. First, he needed to warm her up and then give her medicine.Lucas carefully bathed her, then wrapped her in a towel and carried her out. As he dressed her in clean pajamas, he couldn't help but notice her delicate curves and smooth, ivory skin. His gaze darkened, and he found himself swallowing hard more than once.When it was time to take the medicine, Aveline's body instinctively resisted, her lips refusing to part.Lucas lost patience. He placed the pill in his own mouth, grasped

"You're insane!" A trace of fear appeared in Aveline's eyes, completely unprepared for how far Lucas would go in his madness.Lucas noticed the shift in her emotions, and a fleeting complexity crossed his deep gaze. He leaned in closer, kissing her lips with a tender intimacy, as if they were lovers lost in the moment.But the more gentle he was, the more Aveline's fear grew, trembling from deep within her soul.Suddenly, she pushed him away.Lucas didn't get angry; instead, he stared at her lips, as if still savoring the moment.Aveline steadied herself and asked, "Why did you help Sophia?""Hmm?"Lucas paused at her question, and after a brief thought, he realized she must have misunderstood something related to what Brian had done.So, she was acting this way because she thought he helped Sophia?"I didn’t help her," Lucas replied calmly.Aveline looked at him with disdain, unable to believe he was playing dumb at this point."Lucas, you can’t even admit to what you've done. I real

“What are you doing here?” Russell asked, frowning.“Heh!” Lucas let out a laugh, as if he’d just heard something amusing, his eyes cold and sharp. “I could ask you the same thing—why are you here?”Russell's smile faded further from his refined, handsome face. “I’m Aveline’s friend. It’s perfectly normal for me to visit her.”“Oh, and I’m her husband. So, it’s just as normal for me to be here,” Lucas replied calmly.Russell's frown grew more pronounced. "But aren't you two divorced?"Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Being divorced doesn’t mean we can’t still share a bed."Russell’s expression grew darker as he stepped forward, grabbing Lucas by the collar. “Lucas, you’re already divorced. Can’t you stop tormenting her and let her go? She’s much happier without you.”“Is that so?” Lucas remained unfazed by Russell’s aggression. Instead, he turned to Aveline. “Ave, is what he’s saying true?”Aveline trembled slightly before walking over. She addressed Russell, “Russ, why did you come so early?
