Divorced

Chapter 632

“You!”

Selena glared at him, her anger boiling over, but she couldn’t find the words to respond.

He was insufferable to the extreme!

She glanced at Aveline and noticed the slight frown on her face, a sign that she was uncomfortable. Deciding not to escalate the situation further, Selena stepped back, her expression filled with frustration

as she watched Lucas.

Lucas brought the spoon to Aveline’s lips. She looked at him for a moment, said nothing, and then took a

bite.

There was no point in punishing her own body.

Seeing that she didn’t refuse, a flicker of emotion passed through Lucas‘ eyes.

Aveline had just woken up, and she didn’t have much appetite. After eating a little, she said, “I’m full.”

Lucas then cleared the small table and gently lowered the bed.

“You…”

He started to say something.

But Aveline simply closed her eyes, clearly not interested in talking to him.

Lucas pressed his lips together, his expression darkening, a heavy tension hanging in the air around him.

Selena huffed, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Aveline had let Lucas help without giving him any attention–that was exactly how it should be!

In the afternoon, Russell also came by.

His brow was deeply furrowed as he gazed at her. “If I had known this would happen, I would never have let you leave that day.”

Aveline smiled at him and said, “It’s not your fault. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”

Russell pressed his lips together before speaking again. “Aveline, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. What do you plan to do next?”

Aveline’s eyes filled with uncertainty. “I don’t know.”

She really didn’t know..

They weren’t divorced.

She and Lucas were still tied together.

Aveline lay in her hospital bed, staring blankly at the celling. The future felt like a vast, empty chasm. What was she supposed to do next? Continue dragging things out, stuck in a miserable limbo? But what would

be the point? She didn’t want to see him anymore. She wanted to leave, to be free of him.

Russell, who had been sitting quietly by her side, broke the silence. “Alright, let’s not think about all that now. The most important thing is to focus on getting better.”

He paused, his expression growing more serious. “Do you know who hit you?”

Aveline frowned slightly, puzzled. “Who?”

“The eldest heir of the Cooper family, the wealthiest family in Larbor City. He’s here, apparently, to discuss a collaboration with the Tudor Group.”

Aveline blinked. “Quite the connection.”

Russell nodded. “Yeah, and I also heard that the Coopers might be looking to arrange a marriage with the Tudors. It’s surprising–someone like him becoming such a sought–after match.”

First, there was the Thompson family, and now the Coopers.

Aveline’s face remained impassive. “But since I’m still married to him, no matter who wants to arrange a marriage, it’s impossible.”

Russell looked at her with concern. “Aveline, you could file for divorce. I can help you.”

But Aveline shook her head. “No, I’ll handle this myself.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She couldn’t keep dragging Russell into her mess. She didn’t want to owe him anything more.

Russell seemed to understand her thoughts. He sighed, exasperated. “Why won’t you ever listen to me?”

Aveline forced a small smile. “Russ, I’m feeling a bit tired. I’d like to rest.”

“Alright, you get some sleep. I’ll be going now.”

Russell stood up, gave her a reassuring smile, and left the room.

Aveline closed her eyes again, trying to push away the thoughts that brought her nothing but pain and

sorrow.

For the next several days, Lucas came to visit three times a day. He would personally feed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After feeding her, he would leave, but he would always stay over after dinner.

Aveline had no objections to this routine. Even if she did, he wouldn’t listen anyway.

Selena, however, was fuming about the situation.

She started staying with Aveline at night, glaring at Lucas with barely concealed disdain every time he was in the room.

To her, Lucas was someone who didn’t deserve even the slightest bit of Aveline’s attention.

But Aveline had resigned herself to Lucas’s presence, focusing instead on gathering the strength she needed to make a decision about her future.
